Why do We Have to Get Old Anyway?
Though our outta self is wasting away (old age), our inner self is being renewed day by day. This is why we don’t lose heart. There’s a hell to shun and a heaven to gain. We have hope, not like the world or unsaved people, because we know where our souls will end up after death. Because of the fall in the garden, mankind was introduced to sin, good and evil have become. Before the fall, there was only good, and now due to the disobedience of mankind to God, the aging process has begun. Our outward man is perishing. From the death burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, there has been a new download for anyone willing to have the ultimate aging process stop. We go on to live after death because we are spirits, and spirits don’t die. Where we spend eternity must be decided before death on earth. Our inner self, or inward man (human spirit), is being renewed day by day because of the Life Giver. Sin is the cause of natural death, and eternal death. It is vitally important to have this sin issue corrected by the blood of Jesus. The new recreated human spirit is the real you. The only way for entry into heaven is to get the sin washed away from your spiritually dead human spirit. Once we’ve received Jesus as Lord and Savior, that act gets us clean from all the wrong doings we’ve ever committed. Do not lose heart, the way has been made.
