If you have been fully restored, then your body won’t die, because it would be imperishable (1 Cor 15:42, 1 Cor 15:52). Do you think that is true?

I believe that those Baptized in Christ will never taste death - they died to sin in Baptism, never to die again. They will be transitioned into Heaven. And their body will be a heavenly body, indestructible. However, those not saved will die at death, and face a second death at their judgement. This really is the deal of the century! Nothing to lose and everything to gain.

I believe we have lost the power of the Protestant Reformation. Luther was ecstatic when he discovered that we cannot “earn” our way to heaven - nor do we need to. Jesus paid the price for us. He said, “I have come that you may have life, and have it in abundance.” (John 10:10)

So we are no longer to live in grief over past sins, or fear of current sins, but in the abundance of Jesus’ Grace. It really is far more than we deserve or could ever do for ourselves - but there it is - and Luther re-discovered it after years of lost celebration, and I fear we are in danger of losing it again. Celebrate Life In Christ! Free of guild or shame. He loves YOU!! Just as you are.
