Hey people! I have gd news 2 share(well, nt reali gd news 4 u guys.).
Erm, i said tat if somebody believes in the Lord Jesus Christ, he'll go to heaven and have eternal life, rite?
As i did my quiet time 2dae, i learnt tat b4 we go 2 heaven, Christ will giv us a new body! Here, tis is e passage written:
FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT ENTER HEAVEN
"Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption" (1 Corinthians 15:50 ).
All believers alive at the appearing of Jesus Christ will go to heaven without experiencing death. They will be translated and taken to heaven straightaway like Enoch and Elijah. However, their bodies need to be changed. That is why Paul informs the Corinthians that "flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God."
The reason is that if our bodies consist of flesh and blood, it is corruptible. Such bodies are fragile, weak, and liable to disease, subject to pain and death. Moreover, they cannot take the speed and force that will be necessary if we are to fly through the air. With our present bodies, it will surely be burnt and destroyed. Also, such a body cannot be suited to a world where there is no decay and no death. By the mighty power of God, He will give us a body that is very different from what we now have.
From the verse above, it is clear that all bodies of believers living at the time of the second coming of Christ will be changed. This change is mandatory for the believer to realize the promised blessings. The mortal or natural body cannot enter eternity so there is a need for it to give way to the glorified body. The dead in Christ will also be given a resurrected body which is also a glorified body. The believer's resurrected or glorified body will be more glorious than the present one. The new body is superior to the old.
The glorified body being the new body will be raised incorruptible. It is beyond death and decay. It will be a spiritual body and will not derive pleasure and enjoyment in eating and drinking, the pleasures of the eye, the ear, the taste, the touch; it will be awakened to more elevated and pure enjoyments than these. Such bodies as we have would impede our spiritual progress and be ill adapted to all that employments and enjoyments of that heavenly world.
"To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you." (1 Peter 1:4 )
U c? Cool rite? I noe tat some of u cant reali believe in Christ bcuz of mayb parents but those hu hav a chance, WAKE UP! THIS IS THE BEST THING GOD CAN EVER GIV!
Think about it, hu can live eternal? Hu can b like e angels? Hu can peform miracles without the help of God? Hu can?
Nobody can of cuz! But it is written in the Bible that:
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that who shall ever believe in Him, thou shalt not perish but have everlasting life.(John 3:16).
This is already a v. gd example on hu 2 believe(no offence). Erm, if u like hav any comments on tis, pls write on e tagboard.
And I am very sorry if I have offended some of you people, I meant no harm and please forgive me if I have offended you...
