Who will be resurrected from the
dead?
We live in a day of false
prophets, many claiming the annihilation of the
wicked (this is the belief that the wicked die, never
to rise again). However, the Bible says
something completely different...
-
EVERY PERSON
will rise from the dead...
Romans 14:10,
"But why dost thou judge thy brother? or
why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we
shall ALL
stand before the judgment seat of Christ."
Isaiah 26:19,
"Thy dead men shall
live, together with my dead body shall they
arise. Awake and sing,
ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the
dew of herbs, and the earth
shall cast out the dead."
John 5:28-29,
" Marvel not at this: for the hour is
coming, in the which ALL
that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
And shall come forth; they
that have done good, unto the RESURRECTION OF
LIFE; and they that have done evil, unto the
RESURRECTION OF DAMNATION."
It is our own
sin that puts us in the grave, Christ's work
of atonement can deliver us...
Romans 6:23,
"For the wages of sin is death; but the
gift of God is eternal life through Jesus
Christ our Lord."
- Every person will rise
again and go to one of two places.
Eternity only has two addresses--life (heaven)
and damnation (Hell, the lake of fire).
Wherever you end up, you will live there
forever! This fact is found in both the
Old and New Testaments...
Daniel 12:2, "And
many of them that sleep in the dust of the
earth shall awake, some to everlasting
life, and some to shame
and everlasting
contempt."
Matthew
25:46, "And these shall
go away into everlasting
punishment: but the
righteous into life
eternal."
All people
of all lands of all times shall stand
before their Creator in judgment...
I
Peter 1:17, "And if ye call on the
Father, who without respect of persons
judgeth according to EVERY MAN'S work, pass the
time of your sojourning here in fear:"
-
- It doesn't matter where
your remains are, God will put you back
together; Is there anything to hard for the
Lord? No, of course not! Do you
remember when Lazarus died, stunk with rot
after four days, yet Jesus raised up Lazarus
healthy and whole?
John
11:39, "Jesus said, Take ye away the
stone. Martha, the sister of him that was
dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he
stinketh: for he hath been dead four days."
John 11:43,44,
"And when he thus had spoken, he cried
with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And
he that was dead came forth, bound hand and
foot with graveclothes: and his face was
bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto
them, Loose him, and let him go."
Oh listen my friend,
Jesus will raise you up just as He did
Lazarus. The question is--will you be
the living or the living dead?
Revelation 20:6
speaks of the resurrection of the living...
"Blessed
and holy is he that hath part in the first
resurrection: on
such the
second death hath no power,
but they shall
be priests
of God and of Christ, and shall reign with
him a thousand years."
Revelation 20:12-15
speaks of the living dead...
"And
I saw the dead, small and
great, stand before God; and the books
were opened: and another book was opened,
which is the book of life: and the dead
were judged out of those things which
were written in the books, according
to their works.
And the sea gave up the dead which were
in it; and death and hell delivered up
the dead which were in them: and they
were judged every man according to their
works. And death and hell were cast into
the lake of fire. This is the
second death. And whosoever
was not found written in the book of life
was cast into the lake of fire."
Do you want your name in the Book
of Life?
There's only one way to get it
there.
REPENT of your unbelief and turn
to the Lord Jesus Christ in faith.
Admit to God your a sinner, deserving of hell-fire.
Ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and come into
your heart as personal Savior.
Jesus answered and said unto them,
"This is the
work of God,
that ye BELIEVE on him whom he hath sent."
John 6:29
Quite
a few people nowadays make a joke of hell. They
take God's name in vain regularly. They really
have no use for the Bible in their life. They
may have some religion, but they can take it or leave
it. Maybe you are one of these people.
But you know what? The truth of the coming
Judgment still remains, no matter how much you deny
it. Like the fabled ostrich with his head
in the sand, your time is running out like the sand
in an hourglass. You are headed for an
appointment my friend...
Hebrews 9:27, "And as
it is appointed unto men once to die, but after
this the judgment:"
Get
right with the Lord Jesus and live now and forever!
The scoffer thinks that he hates Bible-believing
Christians; however, It is truly the Lord Jesus that
he hates. Oh, my. Get saved while there
is time. REPENT YE AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL!
"Verily, verily, I say
unto you, If a man keep my saying,
he shall never see death."
-Jesus Christ-
John 8:51
