Ephesians 2:2
King James Version
2 Wherein in time past ye walked
according to the course of this world,
according to the prince of the power of the air,
the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
We laugh.
We joke.
We think they're cool.
Many like zombie films.
Not knowing it's close to the truth.
Why are the young obsessed with zombie films?
We are all zombies.
All living dead.
UNLESS, and UNTIL, we are saved.
Wherein we believe in JESUS.
We come to life.
For these reasons:
Romans 8:5-8
King James Version
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind
the things of the flesh;
but they that are after the Spirit
the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death;
but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God:
for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Romans 8:13
King James Version
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.
We are zombies, because of sin.
We need to be born again, that GOD's SPIRIT may be in us.
Romans 8:10
King James Version
10 And if Christ be in you,
the body is dead because of sin;
but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
John 3:3-7
King James Version
3 Jesus answered and said unto him,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again,
he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him,
How can a man be born when he is old?
can he enter the second time into his mother's womb,
and be born?
5 Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
A born again becomes a new creature in CHRIST.
2 Corinthians 5:17
King James Version
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ,
he is a new creature:
old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become new.
Believers will have a new, glorified body.
Right now, we are in flesh.
But one day, we will have a spiritual body.
When we are resurrected by CHRIST.
JESUS was raised from the dead.
Believers will experience that, too.
1 Corinthians 15:35-58
King James Version
35 But some man will say,
How are the dead raised up?
and with what body do they come?
36 Thou fool,
that which thou sowest is not quickened,
except it die:
37 And that which thou sowest,
thou sowest not that body that shall be,
but bare grain,
it may chance of wheat,
or of some other grain:
38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him,
and to every seed his own body.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh:
but there is one kind of flesh of men,
another flesh of beasts,
another of fishes,
and another of birds.
40 There are also celestial bodies,
and bodies terrestrial:
but the glory of the celestial is one,
and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
41 There is one glory of the sun,
and another glory of the moon,
and another glory of the stars:
for one star differeth from another star in glory.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead.
It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory:
it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.
There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 And so it is written,
The first man Adam was made a living soul;
the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual,
but that which is natural;
and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy;
the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy:
and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy,
we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren,
that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God;
neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery;
We shall not all sleep,
but we shall all be changed,
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.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption,
and this mortal must put on immortality.
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.
55 O death, where is thy sting?
O grave, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin;
and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God,
which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren,
be ye stedfast, unmoveable,
always abounding in the work of the Lord,
forasmuch as ye know that your labour
is not in vain in the Lord.
GOD is a LIVING GOD.
We, in the flesh, are dead from sin.
We need JESUS, that we may live.
And have ETERNAL LIFE.
