1 Corinthians 15:50, Inherit the Kingdom of God

1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

This earthly body is not fitted for dwelling in heaven. This is the meaning of the statement “flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.” We shall be given a heavenly body fitted for our heavenly home when Jesus returns. This is the believer’s blessed hope. We shall be presented our heavenly mansion.

The heavenly body that is given to believers at the return of Christ will also be free an incorruptible body that is free from sickness, decay and degeneration. This is the meaning of the phrase “neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.”

In other words, God is working out a glorious transformation to come and we live with the great expectation of the glory to come. May it strengthen our hearts for present witness and service. Amen.
