All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. (1Co 15:39-45)
Those who have received Jesus Christ by faith and are accepted into the Beloved, are made holy, and we are now all awaiting that blessed hope and the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. Should we die before that event, we will be with Him where He is, and awaiting the resurrection and our new glorified bodies. Those who are alive when He returns for His own, will be caught up to meet those who are asleep in Christ and join the Lord in the air for the marriage supper of the Lamb, and the Judgment seat of Christ.
Until that day, when we get new glorified bodies to replace these tabernacles we are in now, we are here as His ambassadors and ministers of reconciliation. We are commissioned and commanded by the Lord of Glory and the Commander of the Lord's Army to do His will and work in this lost and dying world, in the world but not of it. We are to minister to those who are hurting and in need, on mission for Him as He directs and provides. We are to disciple one another in the Word of GOD that we all may grow thereby and become conformed to the image of His dear Son. We are to love one another as Christ loved us, that all may know that we are His disciples. We are to take the Gospel with us and proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ as we go, teaching all nations all that He has commanded that they might hear and believe and in believing have life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
