As there is none other name under heaven by which men can be saved, so
there is no other way of everlasting life or immortality, save in Christ Jesus our Lord. When Immortality is Bestowed Christ said, "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live." John 11:25. He has turned death, that would have been eternal, into a little time of sleep, from which he will awaken the believer. In the resurrection of the last day immortality is bestowed, "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. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 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." 1 Cor. 15:52-54. "There is a blessed hope, More precious and more bright Than all the joyless mockery The world esteems delight. "There is a lovely star That lights the darkest gloom, And sheds a peaceful radiance o'er The prospects of the tomb." |
