349 - Les Feldick Bible Study Lesson 1 - Part 1 - Book 30 - The Resurrection Complete

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 1 * PART 1 * BOOK 30 THE RESURRECTION COMPLETE I know you are probably getting tired of I Corinthians Chapter 15, but it's such a loaded chapter. The way we can enjoy that eternal existence is that every believer is to experience a Biblical resurrection. I Corinthians 15:1-4. I Corinthians 15:35 "But some man will say, `How are the dead raised up? Remember even Paul was also constantly bombarded, "Well how, if we're going to be resurrected, are we going to exist? I think the best illustration I can give of our resurrected body is The Lord Jesus in His 40 days after His resurrection. Job 19:25,26 So David also understood that there was resurrection. Philippians 3:20,21 from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself." Ephesians 1:13,14 "In whom (Christ of verse 12) ye also trusted, (placed your faith) after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: (see the core of eternal life is believing the Gospel)in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest (or down payment) of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory." The body. That even this body, this physical body, of which the soul and spirit are a part of, will be redeemed. But at death of course we'll be separated from the body. Just don't forget about that old body, and say, "Well all God's concerned about is soul and spirit. So if we're a believer tonight then the soul and spirit has already been redeemed, absolutely, but the body is still unredeemed, it's still in the flesh, and under the curse. But the very presence of the Holy Spirit in our life as a believer is God's down payment that He's going to complete the whole transaction. He's not going to just redeem the soul and spirit, but rather body, soul, and spirit together. Now in light of that let's turn to Romans Chapter 8 for a moment. And these are another series of beautiful verses. I think that very few people really understand what these verses are talking about. Let's begin at verse 18. Romans 8:18-21 Now verse 21: So come back to Luke 24, verse 36 and read about that account. Now verse 36. Luke 24:36 Now verse 37. But even with those words of comfort: Luke 24:37,38 Let's stop there for a moment. Could The Lord Jesus look right through their thinking? Remember what Luke 18:33 and 34 says? Luke 18:33-34a Luke 24:39-41 Isaiah 52:14 Luke 24:42,43 Luke 24:44,45 (now verse 45. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures." That, yes, the Son of God must come in flesh, and must suffer, and die, shed His Blood as the supreme sacrifice for men's sin, and then be raised from the dead. Luke 24:39 "Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit (or ghost) hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have." So let's begin with verse 3. God is conversing with Noah: Genesis 9:3,4 Every thing living in this economy, "The life is in the blood!" Whether it's in the animal kingdom, or the birds or humans the life is in the blood. So blood is the actual source of life that keeps that creature functioning. Let's begin with verse 50. I Corinthians 15:50 "Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption." Over here in His resurrection appearance, Jesus said, "Handle me, look at me, see me physically in flesh and bone." Blood! It is flesh and bone. Also remember what the Book of Philippians says: Philippians 3:21a "Who (Christ) shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body...." So our new body will be a body of flesh and bone, and that's going to make all the difference in the world. Now if we're going to go into eternity with flesh and bone, and no blood, yet the Book of Genesis tells us that life is in the blood, well, what is going to be the source of life in that eternal body? the last Adam (Christ) was made a (life-giving or) quickening spirit." When we see that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom, but rather only flesh and bone then what has to be that life-giving substance that will keep the eternal body functioning? The Spirit. And it will be the Spirit of God Himself. When we come into the eternal state of flesh and bone then the spirit will actually take over the role that the blood now has in our body. Life is in the blood in this physical existence. In the eternal existence life is going to be in the spirit. So this is the teaching that comes out of this great resurrection chapter. Always remember that the very core of our Christian belief is this power of resurrection. Ephesians 2:1 #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
