Understanding The Bible |
"He Did It For Us"
Part 3
By Joan A Deering
The two passages below describe what will happen
in the future.
We don’t know when but it will happen as
God has promised in His word.
Throughout the Bible we are told about why Jesus
came as a person.
He died on the cross and rose again and
right now He is with His Father in heaven.
He’s coming back and the verses below describe some of what will happen when
He does. He will come for those who believe Him and what He did.
The next parts of what “He Did it For Us” will give further details about
what is to come in the future. It’s important to know because the decision
we make about Him now will determine our future. Please consider these
truths:
1 Thessalonians 4:16-26
For the
Lord
Himself will descend from heaven with a shout,
with the
voice of
the archangel and with the trumpet of God,
and
the dead
in Christ will rise first.
Then we
who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds
to meet the Lord in the air,
and so we shall always be with the Lord.
Therefore comfort one another with these words.
1 Corinthians 15:22-26
For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all
will be made alive. But
each in his own order:
1.
Christ
the first fruits,
2.
after that
those who are Christ’s at His coming,
3.
then comes the end, when He hands over the
kingdom to the God and Father,
when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power. For He must
reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.
4.
The
last enemy that will be abolished is
death.
