For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ’s at His coming,

 Results:

 

            Will raise us up with Jesus:

 

1 Corinthians 15:22-23

22     For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

     23     But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ’s at His coming,

     

2 Corinthians 4:14

14     knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and will present us with you.

     

            This supports the previous verse’s statement … we know that we will be raised from the dead just like Jesus. He was the first fruits (which for the people under the Old Covenant belonged to the Lord), but we will one day join Him. Before we made Jesus Lord of our lives, we were dead in Adam. When we were born again (or, from above), we were made alive in Christ. Those of us who are physically dead when He returns (actually the real person never dies) will come to life again physically. He was the first fruits, but He wasn’t the last.

 

If you could hear God speak to you, I believe this is what He would say:

            "You can have confidence in Me that I will complete what I have started in you. I will not leave you as orphans, but I will come to get you shortly. I will complete what I have started in you. You will be lacking nothing. Your body will be changed in an instant. The glory that is Mine shall be yours. Do not look at things as they are in the natural, but as they are in the spiritual. For you shall soon know My glory when I return to greet you in the clouds.”

 

            110. I am confident that He who raised the Lord Jesus from the grave, will raise me also and present me to the Father.
