He also prayed, "21That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, as we also are one: 23I in them, and thou in me; that they may be made perfect in one: and the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast also loved me."
How are we to be One? By having our eyes unveiled to see the Truth, and believe it. Because the Truth is Spirit, and No One sees the Spirit with their own eyes, and lives, but only the ones to whom the Son reveals the Spirit.
This is the Resurrection.
So then, if the Spirit lives in those who remain, though our bodies are corrupted, is it so impossible to believe that our bodies can be restored? If we can witness and believe that all things hold together, by the power of one Will, which is outside of our control, is it so hard to believe that is God's Will? If we have a Will, to live and to Work under the Sun, is it so hard to believe that from where we come there is also a Will, to Work, and to have purpose?
All of these are the unseen. The Will is not seen, until it is seen, and believed by those who witness it.
Those who testify that we come from "Nothing", according to their observation, does not our Will, and Our Purpose Come from Nothing, as well? Is a Father truly like a Son, and a Son like a Father?
The only answer, if any be honest, and if any may testify to the Truth, is "Yes, and Amen". Such are the promises which are ours, who are in Christ Jesus.
Iesous said, "and lo, I am with you always, even until the end of the age".
The Nicene Creed says, "we look for the Resurrection".
So then, when One observes the Truth, and confesses it, they are saved. The Truth is that Yahovah is our Saving Cry, which is what the name of Iesous means, making His Name above every other Name. Without the Knowledge of this Truth, the Holy Spirit remains despondent from you, and there remains enmity between you, and the Father, because of disobedience.
Belief in the Truth frees you to believe that YHWH raised the Son from the dead, as the Firstfruits, and so we wait with expectancy for the revealing of the Sons and Daughters of God.
If only in Spirit, then the present body is our only promise, and God's promises are fulfilled. If in Spirit, and in Body, then we maintain the hope of a future Body, which is empowered, and quickened by the Spirit, and YHWH's promises abound the more.
To the disbeliever, your view is myopic, and you've chosen to focus your attention not on the Truth, but on wishful thinking, hoping not to face the judgment of YHWH, and to escape His fear.
You don't see, or understand that the fear of YHWH is the beginning of Wisdom, because the fear of YHWH is the fear of your own self. Fear of who you are deciding to be, and to ally your own Will with. Because the perfect Love of YHWH "casts out all fear", and you learn to understand that whoever is in Christ Jesus is "a new creation", and there is "therefore, now, no condemnation for those," who are in Him. In His friendship, in His Grace, and in His Truth.
All unseen.
