THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. Part 71.

1Corinthians 15:24-26 (KJV) "Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death."
Revelation 20:13-15 (KJV) "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
John 5:21-29; 6:39-58; 10:10; Hebrews 2:14-15; Revelation 1:18; Philippians 1:20-23; 1Corinthians 15:54-57;

Today we continue our study series titled THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS to enable us to walk in the fullness of the resurrection power.

79. The second resurrection which the bible does not mention or call resurrection is the resurrection of all unbelievers. The second resurrection is the resurrection of all unbelievers beginning from Adam to the post millennial reign of Christ in Revelation 20:7-15. Unlike the saints the resurrection of the unbelievers is only once at the end of age to face the white throne judgement and to suffer the second death for those whose names were not found in the book of life. Apart from the book of life, there are other books called the books of works from which they shall be judged. While the resurrection of Christ and the first resurrection all received eternal life by either grace of faith in Christ or by the law but those of the second or last resurrection will be judged both by what is written in the books of works and the book of life.

They shall all be judged according to their works, not by grace and not by faith. In this we see the justice of God. The primary law of the earth is the law of sowing and reaping established in Genesis 8:22. It is therefore fair for God judge them by that law also knowing the fact that not all shall know God through Christ or the old testament law. The bible says God is revealed to all in creation and by creation. So all those outside the law and outside grace also have equal opportunity to make heaven. If by their works they did not reject God in their heart but had the fear of God in their heart in their dealings with men their names will remain in the book of life. But if by their works they rejected God in their heart and died that way, their names would have been removed from the book of life. God is not a respecter of persons. He does not have more respect for those under the law or under grace above those who were not under the law.

The bible says in Romans 2:11-16 (KJV) "For there is no respect of persons with God. For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel."

Many might not make it at the white throne judgement that is why in this dispensation of grace God has commanded us to preach the gospel of salvation by grace to all nations and to all men to avoid their facing the white throne judgement. So that the gospel they have heard can be a witness for them or against them at the last resurrection. Romans 1:18-32; 2:1-16; 2Chronicle 16:9; Acts 1:8; 10:34-43; 17:22-32; 1Timothy 2:1-5; Matthew 24:14; 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20;

The bottom line of all what we are saying is that God wants you to begin to see yourself in the eyes and light of all that the resurrection of Jesus has done for you and has made you. And no more in your fleshly natural sin nature so that you can begin to enjoy the fullness of the blessings of the mystery of the resurrection power which includes eternal life and freedom from sin, sickness, diseases, poverty, demonic oppression, fear, doubts, anxieties and death.

If you need healing the bible says In Matthew 8:17 that Jesus Himself took all our sicknesses and diseases. Therefore you can receive your healing now by faith in the name of Jesus. Just lay your hand on the affected area of your body and say this prayer. Father God in the name of Jesus I believe that Jesus died for my healing. I believe He took all my sickness and diseases on the cross. If He took them, then I cannot have them. Therefore I resist and I reject every sickness in my body and I confess Jesus today as my healer and I receive my healing now. Thank you Jesus that I am healed. 1Peter 2:24; Ps 107:20.
Now begin to do what you couldn't do before because of the sickness. You are healed in Jesus name.

Jesus is coming very soon. Are you ready? Heaven is real, hell is real. The time is very short. Choose Jesus today.
You can become a born again child of God today. The bible says If you shalt confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the dead, you shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10; John 1:12.

Say this prayer: O God have mercy on me. I come to you today in the name of Jesus. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that He died for me. I believe that you raised Him from the dead for my salvation. I accept Jesus in my heart today and I confess Him today as my Lord and Saviour. Thank you Father that today I am saved In Jesus name.

If you prayed this prayer of Salvation, please go to a nearby bible believing Church in your area, so you can grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus.

Grace be with you.
