"On the Road to Life Eternal"

As I closed out yesterday's post, I wonder how many would suggest that my closing verses of Scripture were not well chosen. I doubted myself after choosing them; but then, after the church service yesterday morning, I realized that it was perfect. What Paul was describing in those few verses is the change that takes place with us, in us, and for us, when we accept and believe in Jesus Christ; there is a spiritual significance to that change which cannot be denied, nor put down; and thus, it is lived out in us! When Paul speaks about what we have become and what we will ultimately be, he does so to always be reminded and to remind us what is at stake on this road that we are on; not necessarily for us, but for those around us. Therefore, to prove my point I will close with the later verses of 1 Corinthians 15 which express the same message that I wanted to get across: Eternal Perspective Must Come To Life In Us!!! "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 steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord." (1 Corinthians 15:54-58)
