God wants to give believers 100% heavenly life

 

God wants to give believers 100% heavenly life, but believers are rejecting it. God wants to give believers a life of perfect holiness. To those who believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross, God gives them the life of resurrection with Christ. However, those who do not believe in the present resurrection life are rejecting it.

According to the doctrine of justification by faith, believers are saved once they believe in Jesus, and then they must achieve sanctification. So they work hard to achieve sanctification. They must restore the image of God, or live a life that resembles Christ, or pursue righteousness, or strive to live a holy life, or examine whether they sin or not every day and try to keep the commandments, or try to live a life like light, etc.

God gives the grace of resurrection life to those who died with Jesus on the cross. God gives resurrection life. Just as Jesus Christ became the first fruit of resurrection from the dead, those who are in Christ also receive resurrection life. Although they are invisible, they will be clothed in an eternal body, a spiritual body. That is why the Bible calls them saints.

God gives 100% of His own to the saints. Therefore, the saints become completely one with God in Christ. The saints become those who establish the kingdom of God, become light and salt, become sons of God, become those who restore the image of God, become righteous, holy, and sanctified. This is not achieved through effort, but because they are in Christ. In a word, this existence is one who possesses resurrection life. Therefore, this is called the fruit of heaven. Those who do not bear fruit are those who do not possess resurrection life. Those who believe in the resurrection of the dead body or in the resurrection after death do not have the fruit of resurrection.

The fundamental reason why believers refuse to receive God’s 100% gift is because they do not believe in the present resurrection. Most believers believe that they are saved by believing in Jesus, but they do not receive perfect righteousness like God while they are alive. This means that whether or not they will receive salvation will be determined at the time of judgment after Jesus’ second coming.

Some people also say that this salvation is a prepared salvation, not a confirmed salvation. They say that God's seal is a promise, and that promise can change depending on human behavior. The most fundamental reason for thinking this way is that believers do not believe in the present resurrection. They think that the resurrection will take place after Jesus' second coming and at the time of judgment. In their opinion, those who are saved will go to the resurrection of life, and those who are judged will go to the resurrection of judgment.

The present resurrection is connected to the resurrection of Christ, but for the saints, Christ has already entered their hearts and become their master. Those who have entered into Christ through His return become beings with present resurrection life. Those who have not are still waiting for Christ’s return and the resurrection that leads to salvation.

In order to achieve the present resurrection, one must first become a person who believes that he died with Jesus. A person who is dead becomes dead to sin and the world. Therefore, a saint becomes alive to the kingdom of God.

And the reason why believers do not believe in the present resurrection is because they are weak human beings with flesh. They can fall into sin, and because their flesh will die someday, they also have fear of death, and because they live in the world, they cannot help but worry about various things necessary for living, so the present resurrection cannot come to them. The physical eyes cover the spiritual eyes. The present resurrection can come only when the spiritual eyes are opened through the Word (eye salve).

Romans 6:5: "For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall also be in the likeness of his resurrection:"

Why do believers become dead by uniting with Jesus? It is because they are sinners before God. In the Old Testament, sinners offered sacrifices through animals. Sinners transferred their sins to animals, killed the animals, sprinkled their blood on the altar (water baptism), and burned the animal's body in pieces (fire baptism). Therefore, sinners believed that they had received forgiveness of sins. However, if we consider the relationship between sinners and dead animals, the dead animals are sinners. Although the animals died in their place, it should be understood that the sinner died. However, most of the Israelites at that time thought that animals took their place in sins and that they had nothing to do with dead animals.

Even today, many believe that Jesus' death on the cross is the substitute for the sins of believers, but few believers think that Jesus who died on the cross is themselves. They thank Jesus and sing the song of the blood every day, but how many people think that they themselves died to the world and sin with Jesus? In other words, their faith is wrong from the beginning. No matter how much they say it is justification by faith, a faith that is wrong from the beginning is like a house built on sand.

Why must we die with Jesus? It is because all human beings want to be like God and are beings who have opposed God. This means that before being born into this world, people have already been spiritually opposed to God. We must carefully consider the metaphorical expression of the Garden of Eden in the Bible. Therefore, it is said to die physically, be born spiritually, and return to the kingdom of God. This is spiritual resurrection. Resurrection means returning to the previous spiritual life.
