Matthew 27:51-53



As we know the bible teaches us that when we die our spirits go up to heaven and await the resurrection of our bodies in their incorruptible form. The Bible also teaches us that God breathed life into mankind, and also when he welcomes to heaven he will read from the book of life, and will speak our true name. Growing up this is what I knew to be true, but I had not thought about it for some time. 

Recently while pondering this fact another thought occurred to me, and that thought was about DNA. What I know about DNA is this, it is the language that tells our cells who they are and what their purpose in the body is. It is also known that over the course of our lives we replace our cells over and over and therefore we are not, physically, who we were before. The only constant in our form is the language that is written on every cell. We also know, for some still unexplained reason that this process of rewriting ourselves eventually goes haywire and we grow old and die. 

The amazing thing could be this. That our true name, the one God writes in the book of life, is our actual form itself, in written form. The same stuff we see on this plain of existence as DNA. When the time comes God will speak our true name, and our form into existence. When the world is remade, when sin and death are gone, all God will have to do is speak that one singular unique name and our bodies will be created again in their true intended form.
