Change is Inevitable – According to God’s Word 1st Corinthians Chapter 15x Transfiguration = Change 1 a : a change in form or appearance : METAMORPHOSIS b : an exalting, glorifying, or spiritual change 2 capitalized : August 6 observed as a Christian feast in commemoration of the transfiguration of Christ on a mountaintop in the presence of three disciples 1st Corinthians 15 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, Php 3:21; 1Th 4:15-17 Matthew 17 Verse 1: And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, Verse 2: And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. 1st Corinthians 15 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. Zec 9:14; Mt 24:31; Joh 5:25; 1Th 4:16 Light travels at 186,000 Miles per second -- How far away is heaven? 1John Chapter 3 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 1st Corinthians 15 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. Isa 25:8; 2Co 5:4; Heb 2:14-15; Re 20:14 Key Word is (Must) – Why! God Cannot Look Upon Sin!! 1st Corinthians 15 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. Revelation 21 Verse 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 1st Corinthians 15 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? Isa 25:8; Ho 13:14; Heb 2:14-15; Re 20:14 How Many Victories Can you Count? Noah – Moses – Joshua – David – Daniel – Lot Job – John – JESUS – Paul – Peter- YOU!! 1st Corinthians 15 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. Ro 4:15; 5:13; 7:5,13 The Law Could Not Save Mankind Only the Blood of Jesus Is acceptable for salvaton 1st Corinthians 15 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Ro 7:25; 1Jo 5:4-5 John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 1st Corinthians 15 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. 1Co 3:8; 2Pe 3:14 II Peter Chapter 3 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. |
| By Gods Grace We are Free GALATIANS – Chapter 5 13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. As Christians – What are we allowed to do? What are we Not allowed to do? 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Do we love Our Neighbors in todays world? 15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. What does it Mean in this Scripture to be consumed? 16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. The Christian Walk is a battle – Some times --- Second by Second 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Manifest Means Apparent – Obvious – Visable 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Whydoes the Bible refer to these things as fruit? 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law Freedom As Christians – What are we free from? Sin Shame Worry Doubt Fear Despair Anguish Desparation Hopelessness …… 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. |
