Life And Death

  Immortality

“And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.”

Acts 13:34

  “Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:  

  Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.  

  For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.  

Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Acts  6:8-11

  “And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.  

  But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.  

  Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.  

  For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.  

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”

Romans 8:10-14

  “So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:  

  It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:  

  It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.  

  And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.  

  Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.  

  The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.  

As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.”

1 Corinthians 15:42-48

  “And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.  

  Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.  

  Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,  

  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.  

  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.  

  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.  

  O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?  

  The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.  

  But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.  

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.”

1 Corinthians15:49-58
