We are now children of God!

Not yet revealed

what we shall be

when He is revealed,

we shall be like Him,

for we shall see Him as He is

1Jn 1:2-3

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, (even) his everlasting power and divinity; Rom 1:20

It has been this way since the Creation!

God’s Invisible attributes can’t be seen

His Eternal Power and His divinity…

Only perceived through things that are made

Can only be perceived through things made

But someone will say, "How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?" 36 Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies. 37 And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain —perhaps wheat or some other grain. 38 But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body.

All things made on third day:

Reveal everlasting power divinity & resurrection

Wheat

This is not a Mystery! Glory

to God & Resurrection

So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. 43 It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. 44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45 And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 1 Cor 15:42-45

Sown Raisedin corruption; in incorruption

in dishonor; in glory

in weakness; in power

a natural body; a spiritual body

We Understand Perceived through

Eyes of Heart…

Seen Unseen

However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven. 48 As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man. 1 Cor 15:46-49

Which Heavenly Man? Phil 3:20; 1Jn 3:1-2

first man Adam living soul

LAST ADAM LIFE-GIVING SPIRIT

first comes natural then SPIRITUAL

first man is of earth earthy

SECOND MAN is of HEAVEN

as the earthy earthy

as is HEAVENLY HEAVENLY

have borne image of earthy

also BEAR IMAGE of HEAVENLY

will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, Phil 3:21

When He is manifested we will be like Him.

We will see Him even as he is 1Jn 3:2-3

The Lord Jesus Christ will fashion anew

The body of our humiliation

Conformed to the body of His glory.

According to the working in which

He is able to subject all things to His power

Phil 3:20-21

Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Cor 4:16-18

As we move to our Sowing we see … unseen

There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 1Cor. 15:40-42

Glory to God for the things that are made

Glory to God for the things not yet made!

So also is the Ressurection of the Dead

Terrestrial & Celestial

There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory. 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. 1Cor. 15:40-42

Glory to God for the things that are made

Glory to God for the things not yet made!

So also is the Ressurection of the Dead

Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed — 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory." 1Cor. 15:51-54

We shall not all sleep all be changed

in the twinkling of an eye

at the last trumpet

dead will be raised incorruptible

and we shall be changed

Corruptible must put on incorruption

mortal must put on immortality

Death is swallowed up in victory!

Lord Himself will descend from heaven

With a shout,

With the voice of an archangel,

With the trumpet of God.

The dead in Christ will rise first.

Those alive caught up with them in clouds

Meet the Lord in the air.

Therefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Th. 4:18looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God. …Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, 2Pet. 3:12, 14who eagerly wait for Him Heb. 9:28be like men who wait for their master, … you also be ready, for the Son of Man is comingat an hour you do not expect. Lk. 12:36-40

eagerly waiting for the adoption, theredemption of our body. But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance. Rom 8:23-25eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, 8 who will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1Cor. 1:7-9

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ who will transform… , Phil 3:20-21
