Peace in Christ.
It is appointed unto men once to die.
Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many. He did not die multiple times for each of us as His one-time sacrifice covers us all who will believe.
Christ already mortally died once for me…and for each of us…. 2000 years ago. My appointment for death was made His. We now do not have to die mortally for Christ already did that for so we might live. His one mortal death is the substitution for many. His resurrection in the mortal flesh gives life now to our mortal bodies.
Heb 9:24-28 KJV
(24) For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
(25) Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
(26) For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world (age) hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
We cross over from death to life now. We do not come into the judgment. The judgment for our sins is death...death to the mortal body for the wages of the sin is the death. If we live after the flesh, we shall mortally die. This is the judgment: to die once because of our sins. Our body is good as dead because of sins...but the one-time sacrifice of our Lord has rendered death idle for us now who will hear and believe Him.
(27) And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after (Greek: meta = with, accompaniment) this the judgment:
We now die to the sin. That is the “death” that we are to die in this mortal body. We do not mortally die for Christ already did that for us 2000 years ago. His life shall appear in our mortal flesh when we die to sin…..being without sin…unto salvation. We keep His death in our mortal bodies...dying to sin...so that His life shall be made manifest in our mortal flesh unto salvation. He died once for us 2000 years ago, He now appears the second time in our mortal bodies when we keep His death in our mortal bodies.
(28) So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
We die to sin…..bearing about in the body (the mortal body) the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body…in our MORTAL flesh. This is having an age-lasting life (aka “eternal life”) in our mortal body which will not mortally die.
2Co 4:10-11 KJV
(10) Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
(11) For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
If the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in us, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also make alive our MORTAL BODIES by His Spirit that dwells in us. This making alive our mortal bodies is the receiving of an age-lasting life (aka “eternal life”). We do not mortally die but will continue to live to the very end of this age (the “last day” of this age) where we will then have this mortal body changed into immortal.
Rom 8:10-14 KJV
(10) And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
(11) But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken (MAKE ALIVE) your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
(12) Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
If we continue to live after the flesh (after receiving His Spirit), we shall die….mortally. The wages of the sin is the death….death of our mortal bodies under His judgment.
But if we do mortify (deaden) the deeds of the body, we shall live…..an age-lasting life. We are to die to sins so that His life shall be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
(13) For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
(14) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
We are to hear His word and believe on Him that sent Him. He comes to give us an understanding. We have all been deceived by false prophets…but the Son comes to give us the Word of Truth…and we are to hear and believe in what He says.
Hearing is active. Faith is doing. We who hear and believe on Him that sent Him to speak to our hearing ears have an age-lasting life and shall not come into judgment but is passed from the death to the life. He already mortally died for us so that we do not die but shall live an age-lasting life. We pass from the death to the life NOW in this mortal body.
Joh 5:24-25 KJV
(24) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth (present tense) my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath (present tense) everlasting (age-lasting) life, and shall not come into condemnation (judgment); but is passed from death unto life.
Some will hear and do good (dying to sin) towards what they hear and receive an age-lasting life in their mortal bodies while others shall be contentious and do evil (living after the flesh) towards what they hear Him saying.
(25) Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
All that are in the graves….the graves of the man-based churches who are preaching their covenant with death and their agreement with the grave…shall hear His voice.
Some will come forth and do good towards what they hear Him saying. They will be resurrected to life now in this mortal body while those who will do evil towards what they hear Him saying will stand up to judgment.
Joh 5:28-30 KJV
(28) Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
(29) And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
(30) I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
When we are “dead” to sins, we should live unto righteousness. Our mortal bodies shall live.
1Pe 2:24 KJV
(24) Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
Rom 4:24-25 KJV
(24) But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
(25) Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
