"But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul." (Hebrews 10:39 KJV)
"God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him." (James 1:12 NLT)
Now, for those who might not get the message, this title, "Unbreakable," does not, in any way, try to say that we don't have difficulties and sicknesses, and even suffer death in this body, because we will have, by all means, just like everyone else, be subject to all those things! The great and awesome difference for us that serve the Lord, is that we have eternal life; it is our soul that is unbreakable; it is surely not this tent; which just like everything else on this earth, withers and is subject to decay, death, and destruction!
Get the message? I hope we all can agreed that is true, because there is really no other way to describe how it works. These bodies are going to be remaining here on this dying planet, like everything else. Even if we get raptured, this body will be dissolved, and as we meant to Lord in the air, we will have a new body that is eternal, totally free from decay and destruction!
So it is totally clear, this current body will never be unbreakable; as a matter of fact, it breaks and will get hurt like everyone else. The big difference for us, who belong to Christ, is that we have no need to worry about it or feel threatened, as if the end is near. Hope that helps clear any doubts or misunderstandings...
""For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."" (Jeremiah 29:11 NLT)
