Blessings of Perceiving Truth

Leave a comment

 

Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance
 
rising up to God.
 
But this fragrance is perceived differently 
 
by those who are being saved
 
and by those who are perishing.
 
To those who are perishing,
 
we are a dreadful smell of death and doom.
 
But to those who are being saved,
 
we are a life-giving perfume.
 
2 Corinthians 2:15-16

Blessings of Coming Transformation

…We will not all die,
 
but we will all be transformed!
 
It will happen in a moment,
 
in the blink of an eye,
 
when the last trumpet is blown.
 
For when the trumpet sounds,
 
those who have died will be raised to live forever.
 
And we who are living will also be transformed.
 
1 Corinthians 15:51-52

The Lord himself will come down from heaven,
 
with a loud command,
 
with the voice of the archangel 
 
and with the trumpet call of God,
 
and the dead in Christ will rise first.
 
After that,
 
we who are still alive and are left
 
will be caught up together with them in the clouds
 
to meet the Lord in the air.
 
And so we will be with the Lord forever.
 
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

Blessings of a Great Harvest

…if Christ has not been raised,
 
then your faith is useless
 
and you are still guilty of your sins.
 
And if our hope in Christ is only for this life,
 
we are more to be pitied than anyone in the world.
 
But in fact,
 
Christ has been raised from the dead.
 
He is the first of a great harvest of all who have died.
 
1 Corinthians 15:17, 19-20
