The choice we are given is to either believe or not. The natural man cannot accept the things that come from God. Faith is gifted to our spiritual selves through an act of grace that lends itself to faith which we then bolster through aligning ourselves more and more with the will of God despite the sinful desires of the flesh, which we have hopefully come to recognize as ploys from the enemy of life (Satan), and paths that lead to death. Armed with that knowledge, like a former smoker who knows that one cigarette will lead to addiction and death, with the help of the Holy Spirit of God we become better and better equipped to deal with the desires of the flesh that are at odds with the desire of the Spirit. The corruptible will not put on the incorruptible until after the resurrection and judgement of all. Then sin will be no more, and even death shall be banished. Come Lord Jesus!!!
Revelation 21:1-2, "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no more sea. And I, Yahchanan, saw
the holy city, YHWH Shammah, coming down from YHWH out of heaven, prepared as brides adorned for their husbands. And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying: Behold, the tabernacle of YHWH is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they will be His people, and YHWH Himself will be with them, and be their Father.
Ezekiyl 48:35, "The distance around the city will be eighteen thousand measures; and
the name of the city from that day will be: YHWH SHAMMAH (YHWH Is There)."
Revelation 21:4-8 And
YHWH will wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there will be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, nor will there be any more pain, for the former things have passed away. And He Who sat upon the throne, said: Behold, I make all things new. And He said to me: Write, for these words are true and faithful.And He said to me: It is done! I am Aleph and Tau, the Beginning and the End. I will give to him who thirsts of the fountain of the water of life freely. He who overcomes will inherit all things; and I will be his Father, and he will be My son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and worshipers of false gods, and all liars, will have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone--which is the second death."
