But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead, dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead, shall also quicken your mortal bodies, by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. (a)
Romans 8:11 (GNV Translation Ed. 1599)
Greetings friends in the might name of Jesus
The Lord is for the body; and though at death it is cast aside as a despised broken vessel, a vessel in which is no pleasure, yet God will have a desire to the work of his hands will remember his covenant with the dust, and will not lose a grain of it; but the body shall be reunited to the soul, and clothed with a glory agreeable to it. Vile bodies shall be newly fashioned; Two great assurances of the resurrection of the body are mentioned. The resurrection of Christ: He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken. Christ rose as the head, and first-fruits, and forerunner of all the saints, The body of Christ lay in the grave, under the sin of all the elect imputed, and broke through it. O grave, then, where is thy victory? It is in the virtue of Christ’s resurrection that we shall rise. The indwelling of the Spirit. that the same Spirit that raiseth the soul now will raise the body shortly. Source Matthew’s Bible Commentary
(a) Read Acts 2:24 1 Corinthians 3:16, 6:14, 19, 15:42; Philippians 3:21
Friends, as we have seen God’s word is truth, He does not lie. In fact it is impossible for Him to do so, because He is all righteousness. However, again it is stressed that the only way for this to happen, that is to say to be resurrected unto eternal salvation, (as opposed to being resurrected and cast outwards into the darkness) is to accept Christ as your Savior. The day of judgment draws near friends. Many, upon many of the prophecies made in reference to the end times are coming to fruition. And even if it is still a few lifetimes away, do not be deceived, it will happen. Will you be caught napping, and unaware?
Yesterday it was posted to seek the Lord while He may be found. I urge you all that have net yet done so to get it done today. There is no shame in this action, no matter what the world (aka, the ruler of this world Satan), may tell you. Likewise there is no other way as we have seen previously that Jesus is the way to the Father.
Pray with me friends:
Father, today, I have come to realize that I am a sinful creature. I am flawed, but I want to become aright, I am broken, and I need to be made whole again. I confess my sins, and accept Jesus as my Savior, as an atonement for my sins, and welcome Him into my heart. Amen.
Friends as we have written before, if you prayed with me in all sincerity, you’ve not only done the right thing, but the best thing you’ll ever do in your life. You’re next step is find Christian brethren, and a place wherein you can learn and grow in Christ. Purchase a Bible, and begin to dedicate yourself to rising a few minutes earlier in the morning, and begin to read. This road you are now on it is a long one, and it might be added often at times a difficult path. but to quote the poet Robert Frost:
“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference”
However all praise be to God, that He has created this path for us upon which we might tred, as it continually changes us, and helps us grow into the creation He had intended for us.
