My Lovely Genesis

Lately, while on my breaks at work, I have been reading through 1 Cor. I know I have read bits and pieces of it, but reading it all the way through was a real eye opener for me. God has shown me that He is a faithful God so many times over the past few days. Right when I need it most, when everything inside of me has been stretched, and I am about to break down and cry; He’ll send me a break. A breath of fresh air, an enduring promise.

When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”

“Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Cor. 15:54-57

“Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.”

1 Cor. 15:51-52

Reading that gives me such joy. Such hope and peace in my heart. I can almost sense the joy and excitement Paul has in sharing this.
