“the
forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.”
Some relevant Bible verses
“the forgiveness of sins”
Matt 6:12-15 - Forgive us our debts, as we
also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver
us from the evil one.' 14 For if you forgive men when they sin against you,
your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men
their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Luke 7:36-50 – Jesus anointed by a sinful
woman - vv47-50: Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven-- for
she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little." 48 Then
Jesus said to her, "Your sins are forgiven." 49 The other guests
began to say among themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?" 50
Jesus said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."
Matt 18:15-35 – A brother who sins against you
& the parable of the unmerciful servant – v22: forgive 77 times
Jer 31:34 – No longer will a man teach his
neighbour, or a man his brother, saying,`Know the LORD,' because they will all
know me, from the least of them to the greatest," declares the LORD.
"For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no
more."
Mark 3:28 - I tell you the truth, all the sins
and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them. 29 But whoever blasphemes against
the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin."
Romans 12:17-21 - Do not repay anyone evil for
evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. 18 If
it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19
Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is
written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. 20
On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty,
give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his
head." 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with
good.
1 Cor 5 – Expel the immoral brother
“the resurrection of the body, and the
life everlasting. Amen.”
1 Cor 15:12-58 – The resurrection – spiritual bodies
– v49: “we shall bear the likeness of the man from heaven”
Romans 8:18-23 - I consider that our present
sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19
The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. 20
For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by
the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will
be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of
the children of God. 22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in
the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we
ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait
eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
1 Cor 15:20, 23 - Christ, the firstfruits - cf.
Ex 23:16 - Celebrate the Feast of Harvest with the firstfruits of the crops you
sow in your field. "Celebrate the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the
year, when you gather in your crops from the field.
1 Jn 3:2 - Dear friends, now we are children
of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when
he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
1 Cor 15:35-37 - But someone may ask,
"How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?" 36
How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. When you sow,
you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of
something else. But
God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its
own body.
Phil 3:20-21 - But our citizenship is in
heaven. And we eagerly await a Saviour from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21
who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will
transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
Mk
12:18-27 - Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him
with a question. 19 "Teacher," they said, "Moses wrote for us
that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must
marry the widow and have children for his brother. 20 Now there were seven
brothers. The first one married and died without leaving any children. 21 The
second one married the widow, but he also died, leaving no child. It was the
same with the third. 22 In fact, none of the seven left any children. Last of
all, the woman died too. 23 At the resurrection whose wife will she be, since
the seven were married to her?" 24 Jesus replied, "Are you not in
error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? 25 When the
dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like
the angels in heaven. 26 Now about the dead rising--have you not read in the
book of Moses, in the account of the bush, how God said to him,`I am the God of
Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? 27 He is not the God of the
dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!"
1 Cor 15:42-44 - So will it be with the
resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised
imperishable; 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. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
John 11 – the raising (resuscitation) of
Lazarus
John 17:3 - Now this is eternal life: that
they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
John
10:10 - The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that
they may have life, and have it to the full.
John 11:25-26 - Jesus said to her, "I am
the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he
dies; 26 and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe
this?"
1 Cor 15:58 - Therefore, my dear brothers,
stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of
the Lord, because you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain.
1 Timothy 4:3-4 - They forbid people to marry
and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received
with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. 4 For everything
God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with
thanksgiving,
Rev 21:1-5ff - Then I saw a new heaven and a
new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there
was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down
out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her
husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the
dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his
people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 He will wipe
every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying
or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." 5 He who was seated
on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said,
"Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."
Jn 5:28-29 - "Do not be amazed at this,
for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29
and come out--those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have
done evil will rise to be condemned.
