335 - Les Feldick Bible Study Lesson 3 - Part 3 - Book 28 - Resurrection of the Body

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 3 * PART 3 * BOOK 28 RESURRECTION OF THE BODY Job 19:25,26 Jesus spoke of the resurrection in John Chapter 5, and He said: John 5:28 Now starting with verse 1: I Corinthians 15:1 "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, (And these Corinthians came out of their paganism because of Paul's Gospel.) which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;" Now what was Paul's Gospel? So Paul is speaking of that (the Gospel) which prepares us for that kind of eternity when he says: I Corinthians 15:2 "By which also ye are saved, (but you've got to know what you believe, so the next part of the verse says) if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain." I Corinthians 15:3 It wasn't an accident that Christ died for our sins, because God had already planned it back in the eons of pre-eternal existence. It was all in the foreknowledge and council of God according to Peter in Acts Chapter 2, and now verse 4: I Corinthians 15:4 Now let's just look at few scriptures all in connection of what he calls the Gospel in I Corinthians Chapter 15. Galatians 1:4 "Who (speaking of Christ in verse 3) gave himself for our sins (How that He died voluntarily of His own volition.) that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:" Galatians 1:6,7 "I marvel that ye are so soon removed (removed away from) from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another, (it's not something completely different, then we'd recognize it, and know it was a false gospel) but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert (twist it out of shape) the gospel of Christ." So Paul says, "You are being moved from the pure Gospel that I proclaimed to you, and you're listening to people who are twisting it. Now look what Paul puts on those kind of people. Galatians 1:8,9 Verse 9: "As we said before, so say I now again, `If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, (from this apostle) let him be accursed.'" Galatians 2:2a Peter and the eleven hadn't preached Paul's Gospel, and they certainly hadn't preached it to Gentiles. I tell people, "You show me in Scripture where Peter ever had a ministry among Gentiles, except Cornelius, and that was a one-time thing, for a one-time purpose." But Paul here makes it so plain that the Gospel that he preached among the Gentiles was the Gospel that we have adhered to even today. Now coming back to I Corinthians Chapter 15: Paul calls it this Gospel, my Gospel, the Gospel of the Grace of God, the Gospel of God, the Gospel of Grace, the Gospel of Christ, and those are all titles of this three pronged fact. I'm teaching and proclaiming an exclusivist Gospel because that's what this Book declares. Now people are going to an eternal Devil's hell by the millions. Yeah, God isn't fair, He's made the way narrow, and He's made it so hard, no wonder few people find it. Go into John's Gospel Chapter 10 where He uses the analogy of the sheepfold and the door. Paul goes on to say in verse 5, and remember this is the resurrection chapter, and he's speaking of the fact that He rose from the dead, and as proof of it: I Corinthians 15:5-8 (Now verse 8, and here we have a choice bit of Scripture) Paul is using that as an illustration, that he experienced His resurrection power and seeing the Lord in resurrection, as Paul, a Jew who was born before the due date. Paul was speaking of the delivery of the offspring. Israel could have experienced this new birth at the time of Christ's first coming, as He presented Himself as the King of Israel. So now God's time table puts the spiritual birth of that Nation clear to the end of the Tribulation. Now going on in verse 9: I Corinthians 15:9 Those Jewish believers back there in the the Book of Acts. Let's turn to Acts Chapter 26, and never forget that Saul of Tarsus who became Paul, was a religious zealot, a fanatic if there ever was one, when he was still Saul, and it was all for Judaism. Now look what Paul says in Acts Chapter 26. (Now back to I Corinthians Chapter 15. "For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church (assembly) of God. (Now verse 10, and what's the first word?) My, how this just speaks to hearts, and here Paul is writing to Gentile believers in the city of Ephesus. Believers who were quite a bit above and beyond the carnal believer in Corinth. He never finds real fault with the Ephesian believers. Ephesians 2:1-4 #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
