“Eternal life” is in the here and NOW. Our Savior Jesus Christ has “abolished” death…that is, rendering it idle…. and has brought life and “immortality” to light. “Immortality” = undecaying of the mortal body. His life is to appear in our mortal flesh…but we have to BELIEVE this.
2 Timothy 1:10 KJV
(10) But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
We are to change our minds…. “repent”….and turn back to Him so that our sins may be blotted out when the times of refreshing shall come from the FACE of the Lord.
Our sins are remembered in our mortal flesh. We are perishing away in our sins as the mortal body decays the “older” we get. “Aging” is decaying away to the grave because of sin.
But the life of Jesus (Christ within us) is to appear also in our mortal bodies (the hope of glory) and the sins are blotted out…..the times of “refreshing” shall come from the “face” of the Lord who is UNCHANGING. He shall have a “church” without spot or wrinkle….both inside and out.
Acts 3:19-23 KJV
(19) Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
He shall send Jesus Christ…as we are transformed into His image in the here and now…in our mortal flesh as His life appears.
(20) And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
The “heaven” is the air in which words travel to our ears. Right now, we hear Jesus Christ preached in the “heaven”…the air in which His words of life and spirit travel. Some preach Him in contention...some sincerely....but nevertheless, He is preached.
We HEAR Jesus being PREACHED to our ears. Some hear and believe while others do not….but we all hear Jesus being preached in our ears no matter what. The “heaven” must receive Him….we hear His words of life and spirit in our ears right now. But we must BELIEVE and fulfill His words….the times of the restitution. His life can only be revealed in us if we hear and believe and DO what He says.
(21) Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
We are to change our minds and be converted…renouncing the hidden things of dishonesty….not handling the Word of God deceitfully any longer.
2 Corinthians 4:1-7 KJV
(1) Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
(2) But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
But if the good news of is “hid”…it is hid to them that are “lost”…that is, PERISHING away to the grave.
(3) But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
(4) In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
(5) For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
(6) For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
We have this treasure in “earthen vessels” so that the excellency of the power may be of God and not of us. It is the power of God that keeps us alive in the here and now…and not our own fleshly efforts of obeying man’s commandments and doctrines which do not redeem us.
(7) But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
We are to hear the Word of Truth the good news of our salvation and BELIEVE it so that we should be the praise of His glory who first trusted in Christ.
Ephesians 1:12-14 KJV
(12) That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
We are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession. We shall live to the coming age in which He shall gather all things in Him. We shall display His glory because we shall continue to LIVE in the here and now by the power of God who will keep us standing. This world that is obsessed with youth and life extension shall behold us holding forth the Word of life and will glorify God.
(13) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
(14) Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
The earnest of our inheritance is put in our “earthen vessels”….we are sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise.
The evidence which is “open” is “eternal life”….as we hold for the Word of life to this dark world which shall become His kingdom. We are to be to the praise of His glory….for we shall “continue many days” because of having “eternal life”…in the here and now.
Jeremiah 32:13-18 KJV
(13) And I charged Baruch before them, saying,
(14) Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both which is sealed, and this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.
We shall inherit the earth….for He shall gather all things in Him and we have an inheritance in this.
(15) For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.
(16) Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the LORD, saying,
There is nothing too hard for Him….as His power will keep us standing in the here and now displaying His glory.
(17) Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:
We are NOT redeemed by the traditions of our church fathers. Their things cause us to perish away to the grave.
(18) Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, is his name,
