Seeing The Realities Of Heaven Part 1

Since you have been Raised To New Life With Christ, Set Your Sights On The Realities Of Heaven, Where Christ Sits At God's Right Hand In The Place Of Honor And Power. Let Heaven Fill Your Thoughts. Do not think only about things down here on Earth. For You Died When Christ Died, And Your Real Life Is Hidden With CHRIST IN GOD. And When Christ, WHO Is Your Real Life Is Revealed To The Whole World, You Will Share In All His Glory. Colossians 3:1-4 Lesson here: To Be Conformed Into The Image Of Jesus Is A Process, That's Expected For All Who Are In The Body of Christ ( The Ekklesia, God's Called Out One's). "So We Have Stopped Evaluating Others by what the world thinks about them. Once I Mistakenly Thought Of Christ That Way, As Though HE Were Merely A Human Being. How Differently I Think About Him Now! What this means is that Those Who Become Christians Become New Persons. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME ANYMORE, For The Old Life Is Gone. A NEW LIFE HAS BEGUN! All This Newness Of Life Is From GOD, who brought us back to Himself Through What Christ Did. And God Has Given Us The Task Of Reconciling People To Him. For GOD was in CHRIST, Reconciling The World To Himself, no longer counting people's sins against them. This is The Wonderful Message He Has Given Us To Tell Others." 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 This New Lifestyle Is Real, It Must Be Obtained Now, Before We Die! "We Know That The Same God Who Raised Our Lord Jesus Will Also Raise Us With Jesus And Present Us To HIMSELF Along With You. All of these things are for Your Benefit. And As God's Grace Brings More and More People To Christ, there will be Great Thanksgiving, and God Will Receive More And More Glory. This is why we never give up. Though Our Bodies Are Dying, Our Spirits Are Being Renewed EVERY DAY. For Our Present Troubles Are Quite Small and won't last very long. Yet They Produce For Us And Immeasurable Great Glory That Will Last Forever!" 2 Corinthians 4:14-17 Conforming to The Image Of Christ Is OUR NEW LIFE!
