We Shall ALL Be CHANGED

 


1 Corinthians 15:51

King James Version

51 Behold, 

I shew you a mystery; 

We shall not all sleep, 

but we shall all be changed,


Awaken to the TRUTH of CHRIST!

For us to meet Jesus up in the air, we have to don a new body. 

We cannot do so in our old bodies,of flesh, blood, and sin.

That is not acceptable to the Lord.

1 Corinthians 15:50 

King James Version

50 Now this I say, brethren

that flesh and blood 

cannot inherit the kingdom of God; 

neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.


Our old, defiled bodies must be changed.

In the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of the last trumpet, our bodies will be changed.

1 Corinthians 15:52-54 

King James Version

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.


That will be the time Jesus will appear in the sky, and His faithful -- the dead, and the living -- will come up to meet Him.

Why, then, this obsession with this flesh that we have?

Why the lust, the vanity, the greed, and idolizing bodies?

These bodies are not acceptable to God.

We are steeped in sin.


To be able to meet the Lord, we will need a spiritual body.

1 Corinthians 15:39-44 

King James Version

39 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.

40 There are also celestial bodies, 

and bodies terrestrial

but the glory of the celestial is one, 

and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

41 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.

42 So also is the resurrection of the dead

It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: 

it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:

44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. 

There is a natural bodyand there is a spiritual body.


That's why we have to become born again, so we may understand things of the Spirit.

Only the teacher of all things can make things clear for us.

We must be born of water and of the Spirit.

Only by following this command of JESUS can we enter the kingdom of God, in our changed bodies.

To be alive in Christ, we must be dead to sin.

1 Corinthians 15:34 

King James Version

34 Awake to righteousness, 

and sin not

for some have not the knowledge of God: 

I speak this to your shame.


Our mortal bodies hold us back.

These keep us obsessed with self, and idolatry.

We need to wake up to the Lord.

1 Corinthians 15:57 

King James Version

57 But thanks be to God, 

which giveth us the victory 

through our Lord Jesus Christ.


All who love Jesus, await this glorious moment.

Which can occur ANYTIME God chooses.

These have been prophesied.

And it shall be so.
