We believe that Jesus died and came back to life. We also believe that through Jesus, God will bring back those who have died. They will come back with Jesus.
Death is an unknown thing, we are much in the dark about the state of the dead, the state after death, yet there are some things concerning those who die in the Lord that we ought not to be ignorant of it.
If these things are really understood, they will be sufficient to allay our sorrow over our lost ones, we should be able to comfort those who mourn for the death of their closed ones, relatives and friends that died in the Lord, to be able to dissuade them from excessive grief and sorrow.
Those who have died in the Lord are actually retired out of this troublesome world, to rest from all their labors and sorrows, and they sleep in Jesus. Their souls are in the Lord’s presence. If we understand this, then we must not be immoderate in our sorrows because happy are those who die in the Lord. They have rest from their hard labors and works. Though they were laid in their last earthy resting place, weary and worn out, but such shall not be their awakening when the fullness of time come !
When the fullness of time come, those who died in the Lord shall be raised up from the dead, and awakened out of their sleep, for God will bring them with Him. They shall be awakened from their deep slumber and the Lord will give unto them the fullness of their redemption. They wake up in beauty and glory with a glorifying body. What an awaking! Through the divine power of our God, we will put on the wedding garment of incorruption.
Unlike the Gentiles, who had no hope of a better life after this life, we Christians have a most assured hope, the hope of an eternal life after this life, which God has promised us. This hope is more than enough to balance all our grief which we suffer in this present life.
The death and resurrection of Christ are fundamental articles of all the Christians to give us hope of a joyful resurrection, for Christ, having risen from the dead, has become the first fruits of those who slept. His resurrection is a full confirmation of all that is said in the gospel which has brought life and immortality to light.
Those who “sleep in Jesus”, their souls are now before the throne of God praising Him day and night.
Blessed are those who “sleep in Jesus”!
Some people say there is no God, some believe that man came from Evolution. Some believe that when they died, everything will come to an end.
These are all godless concepts. These are the people who anti-God, anti-Christ, living a life full of the flesh.
Praise God for the Rapture! We know the Bible talks of this day coming and what an awful day it will be in this world. The Bible assured us that it is the truth.
We know that Man is incapable of ruling his own life by His own strength so it is either God or the Devil, Christ or the Flesh who is ruling over their life.
God in His love and mercy has given us Christ to save us from our sins.
According to the Bible,
- There is a God.
- It is God who created us.
- He has provided us a Savior (Christ) to deliver us from sin and gives us eternal life.
- We are to live for Him and to serve Him only. Since Jesus Christ died to save us from our sins, we must die to self-will and live to glorify Him only. He, in turn will give us abundant life on this earth.
- We are to obey God’s commandments. All mankind will be judged for the way they live on earth, the unsaved will be judged at the Great White Throne Judgment and the saved at the Judgment Seat of Christ.
- He promises to give us spiritual victory and a holy living. All Christians must abstain from moral impurity.
- He promises to give us spiritual freedom, the fruit of the Spirit and an abundant life.
Jesus Christ is our King! We are to be faithful to God, His son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. We must also be faithful to our country, and our leaders because they are all set up my our God.
Victorious life is not speaking of a life without temptation or a life of sinless perfection.
“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” (I John 1:8)
A victorious life is,
- A life of peace and joy in the Lord.
- It is a life of constant fellowship with the Lord.
- It is a life of victory over sins—even the so called “little sins,” such as anger, jealousy, fault-finding, irritability, selfishness, complaining, lack of love and compassion, envy, greed, unkind words, wrong thoughts, worry, anxiety.
- A life that glorifies Lord Jesus
God has made provision for every Christian to live this kind of life. Every believer can have this kind of victorious life, it is supposed to be the normal Christian life. The life of victory is by God’s grace.
Just as eternal life is a gift, so the victorious life is also a gift. It cannot be earned; it is the gift of God.
The Bible says, “Thanks be to God who GIVES us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (I Corinthians 15:57)
When you surrender to Christ and take Him as your Victory, you have entered the life of victory.
