like case by the
thought of the
outcome Of them all in the "far more
exceeding and, eternal weight Of
glory" This glory Is certainty, for
be goes on to add: 1--WE know that
IL the earthly house of our bodily
frame be dissolved, we have build
Ing from God, an house not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens" There
are so many things which Christian
may know IT, he will only take Gods
word for them, and this thing, so full
Of comfort, is one Of them. We who
are in the present body groan in it
for many reasons, but our desire Is II
we are Christians not merely to be
rid of it but to be clothed upon," l..
e., to receive our new resurrection and
glorified body. In other words, the hope
So before the: regenerated man is not
desth but that. which sooner or later
follows death, the resurrection and all
that it implies. 1T is sthen that what is
mortal shallsba swallowed up of life.
- Assurances of Resurrection.
After speaking of .the hope set be-
fore the Christian the inspired writer
goes on to show. how assured it is in
verses to 8. "He; that wrought US
for this very thing is God" he says.
The very object God had in view in
the salvation of any man and all his
work Of grace in him was to this very
end. A great .theologian has said;
THE. end of Gods way are corpo.
riety," thought which Paul sets be:
fore US here as applied to the resur.
rection from the dead. Moreover, God
has not only wrought us to this end,
not only is this Gods purpose con.
corning us Christians, but he has
given us pledge of it in the dwell.
Ing of his holy spirit within us. The
holy spirit in every believer is an
earnest" or foretaste of this thing,
his indwelling certifies to our resur-
rection, SO that I'VE are always con.
fdent' or of good courage concerning
1t.
Wherefore, says the apostle, I'VE la
bor," or rather we make it our aim
or ambition, that whether present or
absent we may be accepted of him."
Paul was always looking for the re-
turn of the Lord Jesus Christ, and II
he, Paul, were present in the flesh on
the earth when he came, he wanted to
be found accepted or well-pleasing in
his sight. 1t was possible, however.
that he might be absent from the
earth and from the body when the
Lord came, but in that case also he
wanted to be accepted of him. Wheth.
er he were present in the body or abb
sent from the body he expected to
stand before him. 1--WE must all ap
pear before the judgment-seat OF
Christ" he says, that everyone may
receive the things done in his body
whether 1t be good or bad" The ref
erence here is to Christians. They
will not have to stand before Christ's
judgment-seat in order to have it de-
termined whether they are lost or
saved, that is determined the moment
the Christian takes Jesus Christ by
faith to be his savior, but they must
render an account to him Of their
stewardship as Christians in order to
determine the matter of their re-
wards. 1t was for this reason that
Paul wished to be found well-pleasing
to him, and this reason sets before
us the power Of the Christians hope
to produce a holy life.
