I made your body to be the house for your spirit. Do not be confused. Your body is not “you” any more than your house or apartment in which you live is “you.” You are a spirit . . . a living, eternal being. You exist separately from your body. I placed you within your body before you were born. You will not always remain there, so do not identify yourself as your body just as you should not identify yourself by the house or apartment in which you live. Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations. Psalm 139:15-16 My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be. Ephesians 1:4-5 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 1 Corinthians 13:12 Now we see but a dim reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
