Summary
The human being, even the christian in this life, is both finite and fallen. Finite and fallen, that is to say, we are subject to sickness and disease and death. But a day is coming where our own eternal blessedness is going to result from the fact that we will one day be transformed from these lowly bodies into glorified bodies where sickness and sin will no longer reside.

00:00:43.100
Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the
00:00:50.820
see the human being even the christian in this life is both finite and fallen finite and fallen
00:01:01.880
now in regards to our finitude we're speaking of the the fact that from the dust we were made to
00:01:09.880
the dust we return we're speaking of the fact that we're subject to viruses right we're subject to
00:01:15.100
sickness and disease and death and all these things we are finite human beings but we're not
00:01:20.380
only finite as creatures, but were also fallen. You could be finite without being fallen. Adam
00:01:27.140
and Eve were finite as creatures. They weren't infinite, right? Before sin ever entered the
00:01:31.640
world, they were still finite, but not until sin entered the world did they become fallen.
00:01:37.660
And in terms of our finitude, we could say that we experience sickness. Well, in terms of our
00:01:43.300
fallenness, we could say we experience sin. But when we stand before God on that final day,
00:01:49.120
If we've had faith in Jesus, if we've been truly born again by grace through faith in
00:01:53.500
Christ alone, then when we stand before God on that final day and we receive our glorified
00:01:59.260
bodies, we will still be finite in the sense that we won't be infinite like the creator,
00:02:04.360
but there are massive aspects of our finitude that will fall away because we will have these
00:02:10.660
new glorified bodies, meaning we will no longer ever, ever get sick.
00:02:15.620
We will no longer constitute change, physical change, in the sense that we are getting closer
00:02:27.180
And not only that, that's speaking to our finitude, but also our fallenness will be
00:02:36.040
So much of you and my own disappointment and frustration and anger and sadness and all
00:02:42.840
these things that we hate about the human existence, so much of it is related to our own
00:02:48.860
sin. Well, when we see him, 1 John says, we will be like him for we shall see him as he is.
00:02:55.580
Speaking of Christ, when we stand before him on that final day and receive our glorified bodies,
00:03:00.020
we will see Jesus, that is the sinless one, and we will be like him, that is we too at that moment,
00:03:06.280
sin will be no more we will be sinless as our sinless savior is sinless we shall be like him
00:03:13.320
when we see him for we shall see him as he truly is and so a day is coming brothers and sisters
00:03:19.460
where our own eternal blessedness is going to result from the fact that we will one day be
00:03:25.100
transformed from these lowly bodies into glorified bodies where sickness and sin no longer reside
00:03:32.640
both finitude and fallenness. Fallenness completely gone, no more sin, and finitude
00:03:39.680
gone in the sense that there's no more disease, death, or decay. Still finite in the sense that
00:03:46.200
we will not have infinite knowledge, infinite wisdom. God alone reserves that right. He's the
00:03:51.140
only infinite, truly infinite being because he is the creator alone. And even in heaven, we will
00:03:56.440
still be his creatures. But we will no longer be finite in the sense that we grow weary, that we
00:04:01.240
grow tired, that we, that we grow sick, that we grow diseased. All these things will be gone away.
00:04:07.980
There will be a goodness that we possess that is a shared goodness that God, God is allowing us to
00:04:15.240
share in his own glory, to share in his own blessedness. And the more we share in God and
00:04:21.520
his blessedness, the more blessed we too will be. Second Peter, to illustrate the point I've just
00:04:27.380
made. Chapter one, verse three through four says this, his divine power has granted to us all things
00:04:34.020
that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory
00:04:40.120
and excellence by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises so that through
00:04:46.780
them you may become partakers of the divine nature. Listen to that. Through them, through these
00:04:52.360
promises through faith in Jesus, you and I will become partakers. We'll become co-heirs. We'll
00:04:57.720
become sharers in what? The divine nature. And what is the divine nature? It's the blessed
00:05:05.200
nature of God. We too will become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the
00:05:10.760
corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. On that final day, brothers and sisters,
00:05:17.720
When we stand before God clothed in the righteousness of Christ with new glorified bodies, we will be freed from all sin.
00:05:25.460
We will be partakers in the divine nature and the divine nature is blessed.
00:05:30.860
And we too are blessed now and we will be blessed exceedingly even more then.
00:05:38.260
But real quick, before you go, do us a small favor, take a moment and leave us a five-star review if you enjoyed the show.
00:05:45.060
This is undoubtedly the best way that you can help us get this biblically faithful content to as many people as possible.
