       Verse 4: “When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory” (ESV). The verse points out for us that while we may be seated with Christ in Heaven, we are also still separated from him in the physical sense. We still live on this earth, and we still live in our human flesh, that flesh which is affected by the sin-nature. It’s that sin nature that tries to draw us away from living like Christ, living in a way that is pleasing to God. So, while we have that spiritual unity, there is also that separation in the sense that we are not holy in this life. We will still make incorrect decisions, no matter how much we don’t want to, and we will struggle in this body to the end. That’s just the way it works. We are still under the curse of sin, the one that God warned Adam about in the Garden, remember, “for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die” (Genesis 2:17, ESV).
