We Will All Be Changed

1Co 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.


Yes, it was written… Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul


Until God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life… man was NOT a living soul.
Jesus was a spirit brought to life in a human form.


We think about how humans reproduce and know that Jesus had NO human male seed to create Him. His creation was spiritual. A spiritual seed quickened in the body of a woman.


Both Adam and Christ were uniquely brought into existence.


1Co 15:46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
1Co 15:47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.


1Co 15:48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
1Co 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.


1Co 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.


Flesh and blood CANNOT inherit the kingdom of God. We are flesh and blood. We know that certain of God's chosen have been translated in their flesh and blood body to the kingdom of God. But what we might not realize is those translated were probably CHANGED. Just as Jesus when He rose from the tomb told others not to touch Him because He hadn't yet ascended to His Father. Perhaps that CHANGE that needs to take place in all who possess flesh and blood had not yet been made in Him. When He later showed Himself to Thomas and told Him to touch Him- He had a body and YET we know He was changed, He was spirit as well. Moses and Elijah appeared with Jesus remember….


Mat 17:3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.


They had a form of human beings to be seen as they were, and yet they were from Heaven.


Remember this…


Heb 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man


Angels- spirit beings that can take on human likeness and yet remain spirit beings.


We are not able to be spirit beings without our flesh and blood. Our flesh and blood, our earthy self is mixed with our spirit self the two are inseparable until we are changed in the day of Christ's return.


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.
1Co 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
1Co 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
1Co 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
1Co 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.


All glory and praise, all honor and thanksgiving to God!


The mystery of life eternal in Christ.


We will be changed. All glory to God!


The flesh and blood we possess, death that is our inheritance as human beings can be defeated in Christ! We lay up our treasures in heaven. When we inherit heaven we will inherit it with bodies that are not flesh and blood, but bodies changed into the mysterious spirit form that can take the shape of who we are and yet no longer are subject to death. Praise God for salvation in Christ! Praise God for the sacrifice He made to save us.


By the grace, by the mercy, through the righteousness of our Savior now and forever!


Amen.
