GPP 48: Your Body Re-Made

Not just my soul, which I don’t know, nor see,
But my body, that I have worn since birth,
However and wherever scattered be,
Found and re-made by God’s Spirit on earth!
How this can be, my poor brain cannot know;
I but know the same Spirit lives in me—
He that raised Christ from the dead long ago;
As it was with Him, with me it shall be!
So, too, for all who in Jesus believe;
For among the blessings He does bestow,
The same Holy Spirit you will receive,
To dwell in you, and counsel as you go!
How sweet to know my future is secure,
My body will live forever; that is sure!

Promise Made: Romans 8:11 (Paul writes)—“But if the Spirit of him [God] who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who lives in you.” (NIV) [Brackets added]

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

“That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)
