God wants you

Acts 13:33-34  God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

Here God is telling us, that on the day he raised Christ from the dead, Christ became his begotten Son.  Christ died in his body just like people do every day.  But Christ was resurrected from the dead.  He was the first person to ever die, and be resurrected never to die again. The bible has stories of people who died and was brought back to life, but later they all died again. Christ did not, nor will he ever face death again.

Romans 1: 1-4  Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood.

Christ became the begotten Son of God, when he gave his life on the cross, and God raised him from the dead.  Christ received a new resurrected body. 

This was a mystery (secret) held in the mind of the Godhead and never before revealed to the people, until he revealed it to the apostle Paul.  If we will dare to believe in Jesus Christ as Lord, God has made a promise to those that believe that they also will be resurrected from the dead and also become sons (children) of God. 

This does not mean, we’ll become Gods, but God has promised us to become his children in the next life after our corrupt bodies die.  Even better for those who believe and are still alive when God calls his new sons (and daughters), they will not have to face the death of their human bodies.

Paul says this to all who believe: 1 Corinthians 15: 50 – 54  Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.  Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 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.  55) O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

The above promise God made to all those that believe, if you don’t accept Christ, you will not be part of this miraculous event.  All those that do believe, will at that point become children of God in the next world.

Galatians 3: 26 – 29  For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.  For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.  There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.  And if ye be Christ’s, then are you Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

This was the mystery that only Paul received from God.  It was not just for the gentiles, but also for the Jews.  It was the creation of the “Body of Christ”.   When we believe in Christ, we become part of that body.  God only knows when the body of believers will grow until it’s the size he is looking for.  When that happens, the trumpet will blow, and all the believers that have died will arise first and receive their new immortal bodies.  Then the believers that are still alive, will be caught up in the air to meet the Lord and the rest of the body, and that is when they will receive their new immortal bodies.

After this event, the seven year wrath of God will be poured out upon the rest of all mankind.  The unbelievers.  One fourth of the earth population will die within the first three and a half years.  The rest will perish in the second half.

All this happens after the body is called up, because the body is not called to wrath.

I Thessalonians 5:9  For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.

All it takes to be part of this body, is to believe.  Romans 3: 3 – 5  For what saith the scripture?  Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.  Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.  But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

Right now, the door is still open, and the Holy Spirit is calling.  Now is the time for salvation.  All it takes is to believe in Jesus Christ.  We know from historians, that the man Jesus Christ did live around that era, and was put to death.  Our calendars even verify his existence separating AD from BC.  The bible tells us that if we seek, we shall find.  Seek him today while there is still time.
