The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Resurrection and the Life, #8
I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me! (Job 19:25-27—NIV)
The Lord Jesus Christ Himself is the Resurrection and the Life. He is going to raise every person from the place where his or her flesh and bones have rested in the ground or in the water.
There is no attaining to this resurrection. It is sure to all people. In the last days we all, while we are in our flesh, shall see God.
After the resurrection. It is not the resurrection that is so important. It is what takes place after our flesh and bones have been raised that is so critical in terms of our future. If we have done good we will enter eternal life in our body. The Scripture cannot be broken.
If we have done bad we shall have brought ourselves into a state of corruption and destruction. Whatever Christ decides our destiny shall be, according to what has been written in the books of record, shall happen to us while we are in our body. If we are thrown into the Lake of Fire it will be in our body.
No human body will be unclaimed. The human body was made by the Lord and it will spend eternity somewhere.
God so loved the world He gave His only son that whoever will choose to believe in Him may have eternal life. This means we can gain eternal life, the Being and Substance of Christ, in our inward nature, in the present world. Then, when the Lord returns, that eternal life will come down as a robe, or house, from Heaven and make alive our physical body—alive in the sense of being filled with the Being and Substance of Jesus Christ.
This is the white robe of the priesthood. This transformation will take place at the next coming of the Lord from Heaven.
Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear. (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.) (Revelation 19:7,8—NIV)
The righteous acts of the saints. The doing good by the saints—good behavior that results from the Virtue of the body and blood of Christ that they have eaten and drunk each day of their discipleship.
At the last judgment, at the end of the thousand-year Kingdom Age, all other members of mankind will stand before Christ and His saints, at the White Throne Judgment.
Then the books will be opened, and also the Book of Life. If any person's name is not recorded in the Book of Life he or she will be thrown in his or her body into the lake that burns with fire and sulfur.
To be continued.
