July 27th - The Sequel to this Life

"No ttial has overtaken you but such as is common to humanity; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tried beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the sequel also, to enable you to endure it.” (1 Corinthians 10:13)

The trials provide a contrast between good and evil during the ages. Evil reveals humanity’s failure when left to his own will, resources, and wisdom. At the end of the trials we experience in this life, humans die for missing the mark (sin)…and need to be saved from death or else we perish forever!

The good news is that God has prepared a SEQUEL to death and the present drama we experience in this life of trials. That sequel is the resurrection from death when God makes “all things new” and becomes "All in all".

“But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own order…so that God may be all in all.” (1 Corinthians 15:22-28)

"The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23) 

I look forward to the sequel - doing so provides peace in the trials of this life.
