THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND RESURRECTION

TEXT: JOHN 5:25-29  
Key Verse: John 5:29-And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
Jesus Christ spoke about resurrection in our key verse and that all that are in the grave shall arise. The time is coming that all that are in the grave shall indeed arise. He puts resurrection in the first and second stages. You can see that the first resurrection is one of those that have done well. “Good” here is not referring to any human being that is doing good in this life. It is only those who are saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, who have the righteousness of God in Christ. These shall rise first in the resurrection of life eternal. They that have done well are they that are in Christ, who are washed by the blood of Christ and are led by the Holy Ghost to do good. 
Romans 8:14-For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 
Ephesians 2:10-For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. 
John 5:25-29
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
As for sinners, all the good they do are like filthy rags before God concerning eternal life. Sinners and hypocrites shall resurrect in the Second Resurrection, which is the resurrection unto damnation. When God created man, He breathed into his nostrils and man became a living soul. When one is in the right relationship with God, he is to live forever. When God made the first man, he had the righteousness of God in him. Therefore, he was to live forever but when sin came into him, he lost that privilege. Death came by sin and entered the whole world but Jesus came to restore eternal life with God. 
Thought for the day: Do all to be part of those in the first resurrection
Song for the day: By and by when the morning comes, when the saints…
Bible reading for the day: Genesis 6-8; Matthew 3

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
