Most of us want to have a body. Our decaying human body in this world is compared to a tent.

“For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened; not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.”y
2Cor 5:4 WEB

At times we may be dismayed by our malfunctioning of bodies in this life, but we would not be without a body. The movie pictures of us in heaven as being bodiless spirits drifting here and there are not very satisfying. These bodiless pictures of heaven are from the occult, NOT from Scripture.

When we die,

“Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. ”
Eccl 12:7 WEB

But Job says he will see his Redeemer
in his flesh!

“26 After my skin is destroyed,
Then in my flesh shall I see God,
27 Whom I, even I, shall see on my side.
My eyes shall see, and not as a stranger. …”
Job 19:26-27 WEB

We will have a body.

“38 But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own. 39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds. 40 There are also celestial bodies, and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.”
1Cor 15:38-40 WEB

“42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption. 43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.”
1Cor 15:42-43 WEB

“51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.”
1Cor 15:51-53 WEB

Scripture tells us our body will be like Jesus body, 1Jn 3:2. But we will have a body.

“But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead

“dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.”
Rom 8:11 WEB

It will be a building as compared to our present
body as a tent.

“For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.”
2Cor 5:1 WEB

It will not rundown or decay. It will not hurt or malfunction.

You wouldn’t want to miss it for the world!
