My physical body is only temporary

2 Corinthians 4:16 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.

2 Corinthians 5:1 For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

John MacArthur says that Paul wants his heavenly body so badly because he wants "a new body that would forever perfectly express his transformed nature." I never thought about this before. I want a body that outwardly displays who I am in Christ. This shell is broken and sluggish. I can't wait to get a new one that has not been damaged by me and living in this broken world. I want a heavenly body that looks like what God intended it to look like- exactly as He sees me everyday.
