12/12 ~ From New Testament Letters
🕊️ (In the Order Believed Written)
50 - I’ll tell you this {mere} flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor can the perishable inherit the imperishable! {The fading away cannot inherit the enduring. You mean we are not inherently immortal!?} 51 And listen! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep (in death, opposite of life and living, Eccles.9:5,10} but we shall all be changed! 52 In a moment! In a mere twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet, for the trumpet will sound. And the dead will be raised imperishable, and we too (who remain) shall be changed. 53 For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then, shall come to pass, the saying that’s written, “Death is swallowed up in victory!” 55 “O death, where has gone your victory? O death, where is your sting?” 56 The sting of death is sin [hamartia - missing the mark] and the power of that sting is the law. {God iS life, and “is perfect”. An iron/unbreakable measuring rod.} 57 But thanks be to God! Who gives us - the victory - through our Lord Jesus Christ! {Perishable and perishing/entropy/imperfection remedied by what’s called God’s Great Plan of Salvation, “the Way”. The way that includes writing his law upon heart, mind and psyche, collectively and individually. Humanity and paradise/perfection sealed.}
58 Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast and immovable! Always abounding in the Lord’s work, knowing that, in him, your labor is not in vain.
