some passages about Glory (about N.C.)


If you were to look through my Bible you would see that there are several places where "about N.C." shows up in the margins. I put this next to verses about the New Creation. If you know me you probably know that I love North Carolina, and I confess that I often think about how awesome NC is going to be in Glory when I read Scriptures about the redeemed universe. It is going to be even better than it already is...

So, here are some passages that would be a great place to start learning more about the hope that has been promised us. The new heavens and the new earth are to be given to Christ as an inheritance. And the crazy thing is that the Spirit tells us that we are co-heirs with Christ.

So, read these passages. If you aren't going to read them now, write them down so that you don't forget. It's worth the time.

Genesis 1-2
Isaiah 11:6-9; 60; 65:17-25; 66:22-23
Matthew 5:5
Mark 12:25-27
John 14:2-4
Romans 8:18-25
1 Corinthians 6:3; 15:35-49
Hebrews 1:11-12; 12:26-27
2 Peter 3:13
1 John 3:2
Revelation 21-22

This is heresy, my friend.

There's a lot to say to remind you that your state is not so great, but I'll just post 2. #1 1860, #2 Asheville.

Love you long Tim,

Matt

As convenient as your acronym is, I think if you ever make it to Dorset England you might change your mind.
