A real life peanut is not on its shell however, it is in the seed, for the shell serves as a cover.The same truth also applies to Man; a real man is not the outward man (body) but the inward man (Spirit).
The farmer has no regard for the shell of the peanut because he breaks it to remove seeds and cast it's shell out to be burnt, while he keeps the seed in his store. This is also the same with God and it is rather unfortunate that man pays less attention in nurturing what is valuable and imperishable which is the SPIRIT. Instead, man pays attention to the BODY which is invaluable and cannot last long because it can be destroyed by worms- from the soil it came and to it, it will return back. Then from eternity the SPIRIT comes from and to it, it will also return back to but in two different places of destinations, that is heaven or hell.
A fact to be known is that, there will be no difference in the way we are on the earth and the way we will be in eternity, but the only thing that will make us differ from our earthly beings is only the BODY. Our earthly bodies will decay but the eternal ones will not. In eternity, our bodies will be imperishable. For those who will spend their eternity in hell fire, their imperishable bodies will enable them endure pain and fearful sorrow for ever. And for those who will be in heaven, these imperishable bodies will enable them to endure a 100% joy and peace of the Holy Spirit which will enable God's glorious light to penetrate on them and cause their faces to shine like the sun.
The fact remains the reality, and let him who has ears hear what the Holy Spirit is saying.
