When we receive the initial grace of justification we have union with God in Christ thru grace and the spirit! Amen?None, who have been born again shall have everlasting physical life until Christ returns to change our mortal body to immortal and from corruptible to incorruptible when the last trumpet sounds. From the Spirit sent from Christ within, those who are born again have eternal life from the moment we believe. It is our spirit through the power of the Holy Spirit that possesses eternal life because life comes from spirit. How can we be certain this is true? Because Christ has promised that when we have been born again having His Spirit in us, He shall be with us until we receive the promise of immortal & incorruptible body of flesh.
Acts 16:31 (KJV) And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
John 3:7 (KJV) Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
John 5:24 (KJV) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Joh 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
Joh 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
Eph 1:13 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,
Eph 1:14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
1Co 15:51 ¶ Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Co 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Joh 6:39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
Joh 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
All mortal bodies of flesh and blood are destined to die, but eternal life is not dependent upon having physical flesh, because life, both physical and spiritual comes not from flesh but from spirit. That's true of both physical and spiritual life, because our natural spirit gives natural physical life to our body of flesh and blood, and the Holy Spirit gives eternal life of spirit when we have been born again.
John 6:63 (KJV) It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
This is why Christ tells us, Ye must be born again to know and enter the Kingdom of God.
We can lose this grace and return to spiritual death by serious sin! Amen?
