The Glorious Life

The Glorious Life

Some Christians say things like, If you woke up this morning, then thank The Lord, or If the Lord has Blessed you with another day, then thank The Lord. 

I know what they are saying, but I wonder why they would say it. I know they think of being alive as a blessing. Believing they are blessed because they have another day to live on earth. Happy to have more time with their family and friends. 

But if you break it down, the sting of death, which is the curse of death, is not on Christians. Death is where our Glorified Life begins. Glorified bodies of immortality. Only after our lives on earth are over will we fully know, The Glorious Life. Our lives on earth are a blessing, but when we step into The Glorious Life is where we see our God in His Glory, we see His Glorified Son that died to give us Eternal Life. The carnal mind thinks of things of the earth, but The Spiritual mind thinks of the Spiritual. 

Philippians 3:13-21 

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:  Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) FOR OUR CONVERSATION IS IN HEAVEN; 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.

1 Corinthians 15:54-57 

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. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.  BUT THANKS BE TO GOD, WHICH GIVETH US THE VICTORY THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Let's all think before we say. Let us know and speak The Glorious Life.
