How can we believe we will bear the heavenly image if we can't prove it?
We believe we will bear the heavenly image by faith, not by laboratory proof. Scripture declares that as we have borne the earthy image, we shall also bear the heavenly image, and it is the eternal Word of God, so we can trust it and believe it.
Les teaches that this is where faith comes in. We believe it, not because it can be laid out on a laboratory desk and picked apart, but because the Book says so. Verse 49 states, “and as we have born the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.” Although we remain earthy in our makeup and still function as physical earthly beings, once we become a believer we become heavenly connected and our citizenship is in heaven. The Word is eternal and supernaturally put together, so we can believe and trust it. Les also notes Bible-code claims but says they do not tell him anything more than he always knew: every letter of this Book is in exactly the right place.
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
