Future with Christ is not only a spiritual reality. Paul longed to be “further clothed” with his resurrection body. Christianity does not teach that people will be “disembodied spirits” in the new heaven and the new earth. The final state for the believer in Christ is to have a resurrected, glorified, physical body which is not subject to sin or decay. All of us will stand before Christ someday. What a future hope which motivates our current service to Him day by day!
