¹² Now if it is preached that Christ rose from the dead, how come some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

¹³ And if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been resurrected.

¹⁴ And if Christ has not been resurrected, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith is also in vain.

¹⁵ And so we are also considered as false witnesses of God, because we testify of God, who raised Christ, but whom he did not raise, if, in truth, the dead do not rise.

¹⁶ For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised.

¹⁷ And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain, and you still remain in your sins.

¹⁸ And also those who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost.

¹⁹ If we hope in Christ only in this life, we are of all men most miserable.

²⁰ But indeed Christ was raised from the dead, and became the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

²¹ For just as death came through a man, so also the resurrection of the dead came through a man.

²² For as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ.

²³ But each one in his order: Christ the firstfruits, then those who belong to Christ at his coming.

²⁴ Then the end will come, when he has handed over the kingdom to God, to the Father, and when he has annihilated the entire empire, and all power and strength.

²⁵ For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.

²⁶ Now, the last enemy that will be annihilated is death.

²⁷ For he put all things under his feet. But when he says that all things are subject to him, it is clear that he who subjected all things to him is excepted.

²⁸ And when all things are subject to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to him who subjected all things to him, so that God may be all in all.

²⁹ Otherwise, what will those who are baptized for the dead do if the dead do not rise at all? Why then are they baptized for the dead?

³⁰ Why are we also in danger all the time?

³¹ I protest that I die every day, glorying in you, brothers, through Christ Jesus our Lord.

John 6

44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day.

🚨

⚠️Every human being born is under sin! Therefore considered spiritually dead! You need an encounter with Jesus at some point in your life!

At the opportune moment, by understanding your condition as a sinner, having knowledge of the Holy Scriptures and realizing the need to repent of your sins... you can be forgiven by the blood of Jesus and receive Him into your heart as the only and sufficient savior through redemptive work of the cross!!!

Do not remain under wrath, be forgiven in Christ Jesus!👇

¹ And he quickened you, when you were dead in trespasses and sins,

² When you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, according to the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience;

³ Among whom we also all formerly walked in the desires of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and we were by nature children of wrath, like others also.

⁴ But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us,

⁵ Even though we were dead in our trespasses, he made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

⁶ And he raised us up together with him and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus;

⁷ To show in the ages to come the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

⁸ For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this does not come from you, it is a gift from God.

⁹ It does not come from works, so that no one can boast;

¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

¹¹ Therefore remember that you were once Gentiles in the flesh, and are called uncircumcision by those who in the flesh are called circumcision made by hands;

¹² That at that time you were without Christ, separated from the community of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world.

¹³ But now in Christ Jesus you who were once far off have come near through the blood of Christ.

¹⁴ For he is our peace, who made both people one; and, tearing down the wall of separation that was in the middle,

¹⁵ In his flesh he dissolved the enmity, that is, the law of commandments, which consisted of ordinances, to create in himself one new man of the two, making peace,

¹⁶ And through the cross reconcile both with God in one body, putting to death their enmities with it.

¹⁷ And coming, he preached peace, to you who were far off, and to those who were near;

¹⁸ Because through him we both have access to the Father in the same Spirit.

¹⁹ So that you are no longer foreigners, nor foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the family of God;

²⁰ Built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, of which Jesus Christ is the main

Ephesians 2:1-20

 

 

For those who, like me, have lost a loved one, we have this hope🕊

1 Thessalonians 4:13-17

13 Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who are asleep, so that you do not grieve like others who have no hope.

14 If we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we also believe that God will bring back, through Jesus and with him, those who slept in him.

15 We say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will certainly not precede those who are asleep.

16 For when the command has been given, with the voice of the archangel and the sound of the trumpet of God, the Lord himself will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
