IS THERE FLESHLY SANCTIPICATION? (GOld)

If flesh and blood are sanctified in the sense that they are holy, then why do they die or enter a state of putrefaction at death?

Flesh and blood cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven, nor can they. corruption inherent incorruption- If there is no sin in the flesh and and blood nature of man, why should he go to corruption in death? There was no sin in Jesus, and when he was crucified and buried, he saw no corruption. The new and spiritual, holy life of Jesus is manifest in those born of God, and that is above the corrupt mortal life of the natural man, so that such no longer delight in their former life. But they are plagued with a sense of vileness, and they know that in their flesh dwells no good thing. What then is their sanctification? It is not in being free from pollution or sin, but in being plagued with it, in being dead to it in the sense they delight not in it, but abhor it, especially in themselves. They are sanctified by God the Father, and sanctification is in Christ Jesus. As they by faith see him as their life and hope, and though vile in their own eyes, yet beholding Jesus as their life and righteousness, they see that in him they are complete, free from sin, and holy, without spot or guile, and by the faith of Jesus are Justified from all things from which they could not be justified by the law of Moses. The Holy Ghost, the blessed Father, reveals this great truth to them, for he takes of the things of Jesus and shows them to the heirs of promise. These are therefore the people that worship God in the Spirit (the Holy Spirit bearing witness with their spirit, or the spirit-mind of Christ that is in them), rejoice in Christ Jesus (in his life and obedience), and have no confidence in the flesh (or in anything that is of man ). But while they are crucified with Christ and quickened together with him, and risen with him, their bodies are not yet risen from a state of corruption. As one before he comes to Jesus must know and feel the power of sin unto death in its reign under and by the law, before in spirit he can know what pardon, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost are, so before we awake in the likeness of Jesus with glorified bodies in the resurrection we must come down to death, the grave and corruption. The wages of sin are death, and therefore we must receive and suffer the wages of sin, death, in our mortal bodies. The resurrection of the dead, the saints, is just as necessary to complete salvation as any other part of redemption. If the dead rise not, then is Christ not risen, and if Christ be not risen ye are yet in your sins, and our faith is vain. The resurrection of Jesus from the dead guarantees the resurrection of all his people; nor can salvation be at all complete without it. How miserable would we be with hope only in this life? If we felt sanctified in body and holy here on earth with no trouble, but all joy, perhaps we would hope for nothing better, and would never find anything any better. This would be our heaven. But this is not our rest. We are absent from home while we are in the body of this death. To depart and be with Christ is far better. We have this hope of the resurrection. This hope is given to us in the new birth. Everyone born of God hath this hope in himself of the resurrection of his body from the dead, and none of them will ever be satisfied until they awake with his likeness, with bodies glorified and, of course, sanctified as without sin or any of its effects.
