You’re Seriously Deceived If… (Poem, Part 1)

(See the series here) 

Heaven experienced a major rebellion, 

And as a result, lost a third of The Lord’s angels. 

It clearly does not need or want another one!

So about ‘angel-like’ recruits, He’s being careful. ¹

 

In exactly which ways, and to what extent, we do not know,

How His saints one day will and will not like angels become. 

But to ensure none will reflect rebellious traits of His foe, 

In designing heart-mind tests, He’s taking great precautions. ²

 

So f-a-r from Heaven, life on Earth is His testing ground.

Here, to us He allots adequate time,

To encounter, then navigate His tests that surround,

Most when, as adults, we are at our prime.

 

In wisdom, He designed, then created us in His image.

As tripartite beings, we’re spirit, soul and body,

But with a major catch regarding our …‘trinity marriage’:

Only our spirit and soul last for eternity! 

³

 

Our body is a mere draft copy,

Of another one He has for us in reserve.

And just like His, it is not earthly,

But for eternity, it is designed to serve.

 

But of our next body that will be eternal,

(Get this…) He has two versions from which He will choose,

To be our …‘spirit-soul forever apparel’.

He gives us opportunity His choice to skew! ⁴

Imagine that!

He promises in several Bible places,

His choice will reflect our spirit-mind test results,

To ensure not another revolt surfaces,

And that to His Throne, there’ll be no future insults. 

 

Our spirit and soul twins are avant-garde, (cutting edge)

And created forever to be inseparable.

If in life, they show Him little regard,

Tell me why in His Kingdom should they be admissible?!

 

As your twins are today is how they’ll be forever,

That is unless you give your spirit to Him as Savior,

And then commit to renewing your soul’s character.

That starts a new life chapter, passing His tests with fervor!

 

But if you don’t, then with a stern face and His heart full of love,

Please here His strong, clear message after lucifer’s attempted coup:

‘If what I say, you do your best to ignore or get rid of,

You’re seriously deceived thinking I’d spend forever with you!’

 

‘Whom do you and your life say I, Jesus, am?’

That is His most important test we all must pass,

Fail this one, you will fail …His final exam.

Soooooo…

Failures or passes, in life, which will you amass?

³

 Adam and Eve were created as glorified (illuminescent), immortal beings. Their glory light was suddenly extinguished when they sinned, and they immediately became mortal, bodily-speaking, capable of dying. However, their twin spirit and soul remained immortal. Hence, all their offspring (us!) are born in this exact, same state.

 I regard the soul as comprising our min, will, emotions, intellect and emotions. The Bible reveals it is not the same as our spirit, though the spirit may have mirroring aspects/functions. See: Hebrews 4:12. See also: A Tale of Two Saviors
⁴ The differences are simple, yet stark. One version is lucent, luminous, glowing like the stars forever. See: Daniel 12:2-3 and Matthew 13:43. The other version is just an un-lit body, like a proverbial star that’s lost its light. Into one or the other of these body-versions, our fully-functioning spirit and soul will be eternally assigned. According to The Bible, you’re seriously deceived if you think otherwise.
