Once in my life, I was considered successful, but then later I was considered a loser. I was the same person and but only my circumstances changed. All who live in and of and for the world in the natural man are inextricably tied to the world and its ever changing circumstances so that the person is as a reed blowing in the winds of change. It is the reality of the truth in Christ alone, which is able to set men free from this life of slavery so that ones life is then transferred out of the temporal domain of darkness and into the eternal kingdom of light. Where once my life was according to the temporal and elemental things now my life is Christ and is eternal in the heavens. Even though people of the world look at one such as I and judge me a loser, they do so because they see only the temporal. No one can see eternal substance without the inner content of the Lord within as their new man. A person cannot have the constitution of the eternal life while still yet claiming and hanging onto the temporal because where ones treasure is there his heart will be also. Those who judge, and place value on the temporal have this as their place of habitation. It is their home, their domain and it is the domain of darkness. Those who reject all such things in favor of the surpassing glory of God are transferred out and into the domain of the kingdom of light so that their life and their living transcend all temporal and elemental things. There is a saying that no one can get your goat if they do not know where you have it kept. Likewise, no one can harm you, if your life is truly hidden in Christ, because they cannot touch you there. Sure, they can persecute, attack, steal and etc, but these things are only temporal and only touch and affect the temporal part of your being which is only a very small part of your life if indeed you have your life kept in the heavens with Christ in reality in spirit.
