From the Standpoint of God’s Choice of us, we are Taken Out Of the world; but from the Standpoint of our New Life, we are NOT of the world at all, but From Above.
As the People of God, Heaven is not only our Destiny, but our Place of Origin.
This is an Amazing Thing, that in you and me there is an element that is Essentially Other-Worldly.
So Other-Worldly is it that no matter how this world may progress, that element in us can NEVER become like it.
This Life We Have as God’s Gift has NO correspondence with the world, but is in Perfect Correspondence With Heaven.
