what will happen when I die
or if Jesus returns before I die? God teaches us how not to stay dead in our sins. How to beg forgiveness especially for the sin that has entrapped our soul to give in and even there, there is forgiveness for the truely repented and broken hearted in Christ Jesus. And it seems to me, that even in the truth of these filthy rags, that our testimony to the world, which was made necessary through salvation, by salvation, and because of salvation, that we wonder what manner of love have we in God? God who declares, in John 1:12-13, that it is only he that can give the new birth. The birth that bears a heavenly being promised by GOD for our acceptance made belief, in The Lord Jesus Christ and even to those who believed in his name. Bless the Lord who gives eyes to see and ears to hear. Today if you hear his voice harden not your hearts. ref. John 3:6-8;
:47 The first man, Adam, was of the earth and made of dust. The second Man is of the Lord from heaven. :48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Flesh and Spirit
:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
