Romans 5:7-9

For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.

One Day, Even Our Sinful Intelligence Will Be Glorified

No one "camp" or "group's"theology is perfect because those camps and groups are made up of persons whose sinful shadows remain in pursuit of their substance which is in Christ. And no regenerated person claims that they have such a complete knowledge of the divinely revealed truth presented to us in the canon of Scripture. So we creatures of God stumble along, confident in the areas where grace has given us light, and with our hands out in front of us feeling for familiar objects that might be scattered in a room where the Spirit has not yet decided to break through our blindness and deafness to enlighten our souls to those hidden truths.

When we consider the resurrection of our bodies, to be united with our redeemed souls, we so often consider the mending of our physical brokenness to the fault of ignoring the fact that our minds and mental brokenness will also, one day, be mended...for it too is most certainly broken in this age, but in the age to come, we will have the capacity to learn without the hindrance of our personal sinfulness and without the inherited brokenness caused by sin.

1 Corinthians 13:12 "For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known."
