💁🏻 Concept: Spiritual Body

The “spiritual body” is the type of body believers will receive at the future resurrection. It does not mean an “immaterial” or ghost-like form, but a real, glorified body fully suited for eternal life and perfectly responsive to the Spirit’s leading. Paul contrasts the perishable, dishonored, and weak natural body with the imperishable, glorious, and powerful spiritual body (1 Corinthians 15:42 –44). Just as Christ was raised bodily, so also we will be raised bodily, yet transformed. Our hope is not in escaping the body, but in receiving a renewed, incorruptible body that will never again be subject to sin, decay, or death.

📖 Bible Readings: 1 Corinthians 15:42 –44

(Philippians 3:20 –21; 1 Corinthians 15:42 –44, 49–53; Romans 8:23 ; 1 John 3:2; Jeremiah 29:7; 1 John 2:15-17)

🙏🏼 Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for the glorious hope of the resurrection and the promise of a spiritual body. I now realize that the body is just as important as the spirit, and the earth is just as important as heaven. I praise You because You are not only the King of heaven but also the King over all the earth. I pray that I will become more vocal about my faith in Christ. May I become courageous in telling all people that I am a follower of Jesus. I am a proud disciple of Jesus. May Christ be exalted in my life, my family, my work, my hobbies, and even in the smallest details of my daily activities. In Christ’s name I pray, amen!
