A stone cannot sin. We have the freedom, since the fall, to look downward/outward or upward/inward. That doesn't change with death of the body for if it did, our souls would perish.
I'm older and have many things to work on - many I will take to the spiritual world after I die and I'm sure more will be revealed to eternity.
"I'm older and have many things to work on - many I will take to the spiritual world after I die and I'm sure more will be revealed to eternity"
Nothing corrupt/corruptible/corrupting will enter God's kingdom.We need to be persuaded that He is able to keep that which we have entrusted to Him.
"Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy..."
What we really need to work on is what Jesus said we need to work on..."This is the work of God,that ye believe on Him whom He has sent" (John 6:29)...because if we don't do "that good part which will not be taken from us" then we will end up (or remain)"careful and troubled about many things"
I'm still aspiring to the dizzying heights of an unprofitable servant myself but when it's all over it will be 'all over but the shouting' for joy!
Wrong.
1 John 3:1-2 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.
