An House Not Made With Hands

The Finish

Paul names both dissolution and building together here, earthly house dissolved, a building of God awaiting, worth holding as honest acknowledgment of the body’s genuine, eventual dissolution, aging’s actual endpoint, alongside genuine, confident hope in this described, eternal alternative already, actually prepared.

This is worth examining against however much your own anxiety about aging has focused entirely on this earthly house’s genuine dissolution, without this further, confident hope Paul names directly, a building of God, not made with hands, eternal, already, genuinely waiting, not merely a distant, uncertain hope.

Notice we know, confident, settled language, not tentative hope but genuine, settled knowledge, worth holding as the actual quality of confidence this whole book’s final movement will explore more fully, not wishful thinking but genuine, settled certainty about this described, eternal building already, actually prepared.

Whatever dissolution your own earthly house currently, honestly experiences, receive today Paul’s own confident knowledge alongside it. We know, not merely hope, that a building of God, eternal in the heavens, genuinely, actually awaits, this settled confidence worth holding directly alongside this earthly house’s genuine, ongoing dissolution.
