       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). We don’t get to physically be with Christ right now, right at the moment we immediately believe in him, believe in what he accomplished for us. That doesn’t come till later. And that later, why, we don’t actually know when that will be. Paul said, “When Christ who is your life appears.” We often don’t think about this verse as being a reference to the Rapture of the Church, but really, if you stop and think about it, it seems that it’s a fair reference to that event. It seems fair because, that’s when we are going to get our new resurrection bodies, when Christ appears in the sky, calling those of us who are alive up to be with him. Even if we die before that event takes place, before the Rapture, we will still obtain our new bodies, those sin-free bodies, at the Rapture. That’s the way it works.
