So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord. For we walk by faith not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:6-8 NKJV
As we relate with the Lord God, the connection is 100% spirit to spirit. God in His deity and perfection cannot have fellowship with any darkness...our flesh is darkness or sinful if you will. So while we're still in this earthen vessel called a "body" we are absent from Him in the sense of experiencing Him in His full glory.
The Apostle Paul goes on to say we are connected to Him through the Holy Spirit, by faith, not by sight. In other words, faith is for this world, but when we receive our glorified bodies, that which was not made by human hands, we will no longer need faith, for we shall see Him as He is.
What a glorious time that will be when we will no longer require faith because faith has manifested itself into sight!
Let that thang marinate in your spirit, then ask someone to hold your mule!!! I did!
Your thoughts!
