Peace in Christ.
Rather, it should be asked, “what should be the hope of a believer?”
We are to have a LIVING hope. We are to have a hope for LIVING in this mortal body (hoping for the redemption of this mortal body) as Jesus died for us already and was resurrected from the dead by our God and Father.
Why would we mortally die if Jesus already died for us in our place? The “death” we are to experience now is always dying to sin in order to manifest His eternal life in this mortal body.
This is the keeping of the “daily sacrifice” of our Lord as we die daily to sin in our mortal body so that His life might manifest outwardly in our mortal flesh. We ALWAYS bear about the dying of the Lord Jesus in our mortal body (the keeping of the “daily sacrifice”) so that the life of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal body.
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.
This is in contrast to earthly-thinking men who are preaching a dying hope. They preach a covenant with death and an agreement with the grave. Death seems to be a friend for them rather than an enemy that is defeated in Christ Jesus via the keeping of His “daily sacrifice” in our mortal bodies.
This is not about mortally dying first and “going to Heaven” (as currently preached by earthly men) as this is good news for us in the here-and- now. The word of men has been preaching a dying hope and not a living one.
1Pe 1:3-5
(3) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a LIVING hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Jesus is in Heaven and His body is incorruptible, and undefiled, and fades not away.
It is this life that He possesses now that we are to expect here in this earth as it will manifest in our outer mortal flesh for this dying world to see and it will bring praise to God. As He lives, we shall live (and not die). He will transform our humiliated-by-sin bodies unto His glorious body.
(4) To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
But we are to have faith in this for it to be made manifest.
Those who are preaching a die-and-go-to-heaven hope have completely missed the message of the true good news. The good news has been hid from the eyes of their understanding …and so His people perish in the mortal body without this knowledge of the gospel.
(5) Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Our Savior has abolished death…rendering it idle…in this earth. He has brought life and immortality to light through the good news.
2Ti 1:10 KJV
(10) But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
Again, what are we hoping for? What are we waiting for? The redemption of our mortal body in the here-and-now….and not in the “here after”.
We receive the Spirit first in this mortal body as an “earnest” before the redemption of the body.
By having received His Spirit, we then slay the deeds of the flesh so that the eternal life that Jesus is currently living in Heaven is made manifest in this mortal body in this earth. It requires to always sow after the Spirit and dying to the flesh in order to reap everlasting life in this earth.
Rom 8:23-25 KJV
(23) And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
We are saved by hope….hope for the manifestation of the life of Jesus in our mortal body which is the “purchased possession” as our body is not our own. Hope that is seen is not hope.
(24) For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
(25) But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
The manifested-outward redemption of our mortal bodies will then be seen by all in this dark and dying world….and it will cause those who will see and believe (in the outside world) to praise God above…unto the praise of His glory. We are to be to the praise of His glory who will see our mortal bodies transfigured into His.
Eph 1:13-14 KJV
(13) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
(14) Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
The whole creation is awaiting for the manifestation of the sons of God….those people who have eternal life made manifest in their outer mortal flesh.
Those who are made manifest as the sons of God (by having the life of Jesus being made manifest outwardly) are visibly instrumental then in bringing praise and glory to God from the outside world. The true gospel will then be listened to by them.
Rom 8:19 KJV
(19) For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
We first receive the earnest of the Spirit. If we then slay the deeds of the body THROUGH THE SPIRIT which is given to us, we shall live….having eternal life in this earth.
But if we continue to live after the flesh even after receiving His Spirit, we shall mortally die.
Rom 8:12-14 KJV
(12) Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the 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.
Our mortal bodies are dead already because of sin….but the Spirit shall make alive our subject-to-death bodies if we live according to the Spirit and not according to the flesh.
Rom 8:11 KJV
(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 your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
The wages of the sin is death….death to the mortal body. The word of earthly man preaches we are to die first. Clearly, the good news is hid to them as this message of the redemption of our mortal bodies is not currently being preached in this earth.
Rom 6:22-23 KJV
(22) But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
(23) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The Sin is still being served by the worshipping and serving of man’s commandments as codified in their church handwritings of ordinances. They are used as a basis to judge others (supposedly in God’s authority) who do not keep them.
There is only One Judge. There is only One Lawgiver. We are still then serving the sin if we continue to judge others via man’s codified handwritings of ordinances.
Jas 4:11-12 KJV
(11) Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
(12) There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
The keeping of the “daily sacrifice” is being actively removed and man’s church handwritings of ordinances is being set up in it’s place and being used to judge others. Therefore, sin is still being served and death is guaranteed among church goers.
We must destroy the body of sin. We must no longer serve the sin. IF we are "dead" with Christ (from sin), we shall also live with Him....and this is for the here-and-now.
Rom 6:5-9 KJV
(5) For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
(6) Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
(7) For he that is dead is freed from sin.
(8) Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
(9) Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
Rather, it should be asked, “what should be the hope of a believer?”
