13 And
Moses said to God,
Behold,
when I come to the Israelites
And
say to them,
The
God of your fathers has sent me to you,
And
they say to me,
What
is His Name?
What
shall I say to them?
14 God
said to Moses
I AM
WHO I AM and WHAT I AM,
And I
WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE;
And He
said,
You
shall say this to the Israelites,
I AM
has sent me to you!
15 God
said also to Moses,
This
shall you say to the Israelites,
The
Lord, the God of your fathers,
Of
Abraham, of Isaac, and Jacob,
Has
sent me to you!
This
is My Name For Ever,
And by
this Name I am to be Remembered
To All
Generations.
(Exodus
3:13-15, AMP)
What
is the most Fundamental Name of God?
I
AM.
What
does His Name mean?
I
means that He is the Self-Existent One;
The
One LIFE;
That
apart from Him there is No LIFE;
He is
the Life giving Spirit.
Listen:
45
Thus it is written,
The
First man Adam became a living being--
An
individual personality;
The
Last Adam (Christ)
Became
a Life-giving Spirit--
RESTORING
THE DEAD TO LIFE.
46 But
[it is] not the spiritual life
Which
came first,
But
the Physical and then the spiritual.
47 The
first man [was] from out of earth,
Made
of dust—earth minded;
The
Second man [is] the Lord
From
out of Heaven [Gen. 2:7.]
48
Now, those who are made of the dust
Are
like him who was first made of the dust--
Earth
minded;
And as
is [the Man] from Heaven,
So
also [are those] who are of Heaven--
Heaven
minded.
49 And
just as we have borne the Image
Of the
[man] of dust,
So
shall we
And
let us also bear the Image
Of the
[Man] of Heaven.
50 But
I tell you this, Brethren,
FLESH
AND BLOOD CANNOT
(BECOME
PARTAKERS OF ETERNAL SALVATION)
AND
INHERIT OR SHARE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD;
Nor
does the Perishable--
That
which is Decaying--
INHERIT
OR SHARE IN THE IMPERISHABLE
(The
Immortal).
51
TAKE NOTICE!
I
TELL YOU A MYSTERY—A SECRET TRUTH,
AN
EVENT DECREED
BY THE
HIDDEN PURPOSE OR COUNSEL OF GOD
WE
SHALL NOT ALL FALL ASLEEP [IN DEATH],
BUT WE
SHALL ALL BE CHANGED (TRANSFORMED).
52 IN
A MOMENT,
IN THE
TWINKLING OF AN EYE,
AT THE
(SOUND OF THE) LAST TRUMPET CALL.
FOR A
TRUMPET WILL SOUND,
AND
THE DEAD [IN CHRIST]
WILL
BE RAISED IMPERISHABLE--
FREE
AND IMMUNE FROM DECAY--
AND WE
SHALL BE CHANGED (TRANSFORMED).
53 FOR
THIS PERISHABLE [PART OF US]
MUST
PUT ON THE IMPERISHABLE [NATURE],
AND
THIS MORTAL [PARTOF US]--
THIS
NATURE THAT IS CAPABLE OF DYING--
MUST
PUT ON IMMORTALITY (FREEDOM FROM DEATH).
54 AND
WHEN THIS PERISHABLE
PUTS
ON THE IMPERISHABLE
AND
THIS [THAT WAS] CAPABLE OF DYING
PUTS
ON FREEDOM FROM DEATH,
THEN
SHALL BE FULFILLED THE SCRIPTURE
THAT
SAYS,
DEATH
IS SWALLOWED UP
(UTTERLY
VANQUISHED, FOREVER)
IN AND
UNTO VICTORY. [Isa. 25:8.]
55 O
DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY?
O
DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING? [Hos. 13:14.]
56 NOW
SIN IS THE STING OF DEATH,
AND
SIN EXERCISES ITS POWER [UPON THE SOUL]
THROUGH
[THE ABUSE OF] THE LAW.
57 BUT
THANKS BE TO GOD,
WHO
GIVES US THE VICTORY--
MAKING
US CONQUERORS--
THROUGH
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
58
THEREFORE, MY BELOVED BRETHEREN,
BE
FIRM (STEADFAST), IMMOVABLE,
ALWAYS
ABOUNDING IN THE WORK OF THE LORD--
THAT
IS, ALWAYS BEING SUPERIOR
(EXCELLING,
DOING MORE THAN ENOUGH)
IN THE
SERVICE OF THE LORD,
KNOWING
AND BEING CONTINUALLY AWARE
THAT
YOUR LABOR IN THE LORD IS NOT FUTILE--
NEVER
WASTED OR TO NO PURPOSE.
(1
Corinthians 15:45-58, AMP)
Upon
natural death,
Or
the Second Coming of Christ Jesus,
I
AM, by His Infinite Power,
Changes
(Transforms) those who are Born Again,
Heavenly
Minded;
Having
forsaken SIN;
Walking
in the Light of His Word;
Abounding
in the Work of the Lord,
Into
Spiritual Beings;
No
longer of the dust of the earth,
But
into the Image and Nature of the Son of God,
FOREVER!
We are
all born Dead to God,
The
only LIFE;
Born
with a Sin Nature;
Incapable
of pleasing God.
Unless
we are Born Again,
Born
of the Spirit of God,
We
remain DEAD to the spiritual;
DEAD
to LIFE.
We
remain simply Decaying dust,
And in
the End,
Our
physical body returns to dust,
And
our spirit goes to Hell,
Having
Refused God's offer of Salvation;
Having
Refused to Love the Truth.
(2
Thessalonians 2:10)
