The Plan
(Wheaton, Ill.: Crossway Books, 2011), 20
He came to redeem your life
When God created the angels, he made them souls without bodies, and when he created animals, he made them bodies without souls. But he created us as a unique integration of body and soul together.
Death separates what God has joined. It is the undoing of our nature, and that is why death is such a terrible enemy. But Christ went through death, triumphed over death, and came out of death. He came to redeem your life — soul and body — and to present all of you, without fault and with great joy, to your Father in heaven (Jude 24).
