Search the scriptures for in them you think you have everlasting life but these are they that testify of me. John 5:39
If you do not eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood you have no life in you. John 6:53
This mortal must put on immortality. 1 Corinthians 15:53
There is a spirit body that is imperishable and immortal that we receive in the first resurrection and then we will be alive again.
1 Corinthians 15:42 “So it will be in the resurrection of the dead. What is sown perishable is raised imperishable. It is sown in dishonor, raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, raised in power. It is sown a natural body and is raised a spiritual body.”
The wages of sin is death but gift of God is everlasting life. Romans 6:23
This is the promise he has promised us everlasting life. 1 John 2:25
“Salvation ready to be revealed on the last day.” 1Peter 1:5
The last day is when Jesus returns. “ and I will raise him up at the last day” John 6:44
“In the hope of everlasting life which God who does not lie promised before the beginning of time.” Titus 1:2
To be alive again is a hope, a promise, not a present reality and happens at the return of Jesus.
Everyone who sees the son and believes in him will have everlasting life and I will raise him up on the last day. John 6:40
Hebrews 9:15 that those who are called may receive the promise of everlasting inheritance.
Daniel 12:2 many that sleep in the dust shall awake, some to everlasting life….. See John 5:28-29 Isaiah 26:19 1 Corinthians 15:52-53 Matthew 24:31 Luke 20:35-36 1 John 3:2 Philippians 3:20-21. 1 Thessalonians 4:16 Job 14:14-15 Acts 24:15 John 6:39-40 everlasting life is not given until the last day
1 Peter 5:4 John 14:2-3 2 Timothy 4:8 James 1:12
Hebrews 9:28 John 3:16 Psalm 17:15
Salvation is receiving immortality, to live forever, and it is a hope, a promise, a gift, dependent upon faith and obedience to GOD and submitting to GOD and HIS love working in us. If this everlasting life is a hope, a gift or promise then we don’t have it now but are to receive it when Jesus returns, at the last day, when he appears a second time, when we see him as he is.
1 Timothy 6:16-17 “who only has immortality and dwells in the light light which no man can approach unto.”
Psalm 13:3 the sleep of death
John 11:11-13 Lazarus was asleep
1 Thessalonians 4:23-14 those who have fallen asleep
Daniel 12:2 many who sleep in the dust
Ephesians 5:14 Awake thou that sleep, arise from the dead.
Deuteronomy 31:16 Behold thou shalt sleep with thy fathers.
2 Samuel 7:12 and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers.
1 Kings 2:10 David slept with his fathers.
1 Kings 11:43 Solomon slept with his fathers.
Job 7:21 Now shall I sleep in the dust.
Psalm 90:5 You carry them away as with a flood, they are as a sleep.
Matthew 27:52 bodies of the saints which slept arose. Which proves there were saints, Christians, before Christ.
John 11:24 I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
Scripture compares sleep with death because a sleeping person resembles the dead. Some people will sleep a perpetual sleep and never awake. Jeremiah 51:39 Jeremiah 51:57 Psalm 76:5
When you sleep you are unconscious and unaware as is death and with death the only thing that can awake you is to be raised from the dead and only then are you alive and conscious again.
Christians that have died have fallen asleep in Christ, who was the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep, and unconsciously await the resurrection when Jesus returns. At the return of Jesus a small remnant of the elect haven’t fallen asleep but are alive and remain and are changed from flesh to spirit.
This information I give you here is the truth of GOD about life and death and the condition of each state. I give many scriptures proving that Christians who have died are like being asleep, totally unconscious. They rise from the sleep of death by a resurrection of the dead when Christ returns and not before. Jesus died the same death as all humans do. Jesus was human. GOD created all life after their own kind and all human are the human kind with a human spirit in a mortal body and Jesus was exactly like us in this way , Hebrews 2:17 , but unlike us Jesus was totally filled with the spirit of GOD , the saints have only a portion of GODS spirit. Jesus was created by GOD to be the messiah and is the only human who was created this way. After all the proof given above Jesus died , lost consciousness for 3 days and 3 nights then his human spirit was placed back into his body by GOD and he was alive again. All of this information is foundational, a truth for the ages. If you read some modern translation that seems to say anything against this truth it is a mistranslation, a lie. If you still believe anything contradicting this truth then you are deceived. You have resorted to paganism and fables.
In Ezekiel 37:1-28 is the account of the valley of dry bones. Take note the question GOD asks Ezekiel in verse 3, “can these bones live ?” Then verse 5, “I will make breath enter you and you will come to life.” Verse 9, “breath into these slain so that they may live.” This is describing the resurrection of the house of Israel in the second resurrection. 1 Samuel 2:6 Deuteronomy 32:39 Romans 4:17 Job 33:4 John 5:25 John 5:21 Genesis 2:7 Job 33:4 Job 27:3 Psalm 104:29 Psalm 146:4
The breath of life is our human spirit and when combined with the body is call a living soul. A soul is the complete whole person, not a third part, there is no third part. Jesus had to breath to live else he would be dead. This was the breath of life in Jesus, the human spirit. Jesus did indeed have a human spirit because it is what makes us all human.
Here is an analogy; a flashlight with batteries in it can function but if the batteries are removed they can do nothing and neither can the flashlight. The batteries are your human spirit, your body is the flashlight. It is the batteries that cause the flashlight to work but they must have a flashlight in order to work. Your human spirit and body operate in the same way. A disembodied spirit cannot do anything because it needs a body to operate in. How can a disembodied spirit see, hear, feel, taste, talk or smell when all these things are rotting to dust ? In the resurrection we are a disembodied spirit placed into a spirit body that is then immortal. Our hope as Christians is this resurrection where we will live again. Any teaching or belief that doesn’t agree with this truth is a lie. This lie destroys the gospel message about what salvation is. I have shown plainly from the scriptures that death is unconsciousness, no life by any definition you care to use. To live again is a hope, a gift, a promise and not a present reality until Christ returns, appears a second time, on the last day when we see him as he is. This is the core of the gospel message.
