Seek first of all His kingdom
and His righteousness, and
then all these things will
be given you besides.
(Matthew 6. 33).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
And this gospel (Best News Ever) of the
kingdom will be preached in the whole
world as a testimony to all nations, and
then the end will come.
(Matthew 24.14).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
As for you, you were dead in your
transgressions and sins, in which
you used to live when you followed
the ways of this world and of the ruler
of the kingdom of the air, the spirit
who is at work in those who are
disobedient.
All of us also lived among them at
one time, gratifying the cravings
of our sinful nature and following
its desires and thoughts.
Like the rest, we were by nature
objects of wrath.
But because of His great love for us,
God, Who is rich in mercy, made us
alive with Christ even when we were
dead in transgressions- it is by grace
you have been saved.
And God raised us up with Christ and
seated us up with Him in the heavenly
realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in
the coming ages He might show the
incomparable riches of His grace, expressed
in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
For it is by grace you have been saved,
through faith- and this is not from
yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by
works, so that no one can boast.
For we are God’s workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus to do good
works, which God prepared in advance
for us to do.
(Ephesians 2.1-10).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and
the exact representation of His being,
sustaining all things by His powerful word.
After He had provided purification for sins,
He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty
in heaven. So he became as much superior to
the angels as the name He has inherited is
superior to theirs.
For to which of the angels did God ever say,
“You are My Son;
today I have become Your Father”?
Or again,
“I will be His Father, and He will be My Son”?
And again, when God Brings His firstborn into
the world, He says,
“Let all God’s angels worship Him.”
In speaking of the angels He says,
“He makes His angels winds,
His servants flames of fire.”
But about the Son He says,
“Your throne, O God, will last for
ever and ever,
and righteousness will be the
scepter of Your kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and
hated wickedness;
therefore God, Your God, has
set You above Your companions
by anointing You with the oil of joy.”
(Hebrews 1.3-9).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood
cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable
inherit the imperishable.
Listen, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all
be changed-in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.
For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and
we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the
imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable
has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality,
then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed
up in victory.”
“Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm.
Let nothing move you.
Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you
know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
(I. Corinthians 15.50-58).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
For since death came trough a man, the resurrection of the dead comes
also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ will all be made alive.
But each in his own turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when He comes, those
who belong to Him. Then the end will come, when He hands over the kingdom
to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.
For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. The last
enemy to be destroyed is death. For He has put everything under His feet.
Now when it says that “everything” has been put under Him, it is clear that
this does not include God Himself, Who put everything under Christ. When
He has done this, then the Son Himself will be made subject to Him Who put
everything under Him, so that God may be all in all.
(I. Corinthians 15. 21-28).

He also says,
“In the beginning, O Lord, You laid the foundations of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of Your hands.
They will perish, but you remain; they will wear out like a garment.
You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed.
But You remain the same, and your years will never end.
To which of the angels did God ever say,
“Sit at My right hand
until I make Your enemies
a footstool for Your feet”?
Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will
inherit salvation?
(Hebrews 1.3-14).
