Continuing in Luke, I arrived at a portion of scripture that spoke louder to me today than ever before; confirming my present mindset, and reassuring my confidence in the Holy Spirit's living and active work within me:
Luke 20:
34And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
35But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
36Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
... not the children or offspring of this world; which is presently under the ownership of Satan himself. If I am recreated, inside and out, in the image of my Lord and Saviour, rather than simply superficially imitating perceived notions of Godliness, then my life will illustrate the kind of life that we will enjoy as active citizens in the kingdom of God; filled with benevolent mercy and grace. I reckon it to be so now as it will be then.
