Our future glory

“becuase we know that the One who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in His presence.” 2 Corinthians 4:14
Many people – even Christians – are uncertain about what the future holds. It doesn’t come as a surprise that many of these are uncertain about whether God really did raise Jesus from the dead. They suggest, maybe He didn’t really die at all, or maybe He was raised as a spirit. The Bible gives watertight proof that Jesus did actually die, and that He was raised in bodily form from the dead, never to die again.
The resurrection of Christ is a guarantee of our own future glorification. We can be absolutely sure of it. When God saves us, He sees the end from the beginning. Right now, He sees us as already being glorified, in heaven, with Him (c.f. Rom. 8:30, ‘glorified’ is past tense). What God begins, He completes (Phil. 1:6).
Jesus is referred to in the New Testament as being the ‘firstfruits’ (1 Cor. 15:20, 23). It is not insignificant that the resurrection occurred on the day that the Feast of Firstfruits was being celebrated in Israel. The firstfruits is a token that represents the rest of the harvest that is coming. We are that harvest – along with all believers, all over the world, from Pentecost until the Rapture. I am looking forward to that day! How about you?
