The elect are Christ's.
God makes the elect alive and gives life when by His grace He saves them.
When Jesus returns to destroy His enemies, the saints whose bodies died, will be resurrected and given their new, eternal bodies.
(Note: There is no rapture in this passage.)
1 Corinthians 15:21-28
So you see, just as death came into the world through a man, now the resurrection from the dead has begun through another man. Just as everyone dies because we all belong to Adam, everyone who belongs to Christ will be given new life. But there is an order to this resurrection: Christ was raised as the first of the harvest; then all who belong to Christ will be raised when he comes back. After that the end will come, when he will turn the Kingdom over to God the Father, having destroyed every ruler and authority and power. For Christ must reign until he humbles all his enemies beneath his feet. And the last enemy to be destroyed is death. For the Scriptures say, “God has put all things under his authority.” (Of course, when it says “all things are under his authority,” that does not include God himself, who gave Christ his authority.) Then, when all things are under his authority, the Son will put himself under God’s authority, so that God, who gave his Son authority over all things, will be utterly supreme over everything everywhere.
And ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the
Spirit of God doth dwell in you; and if any one hath not the
Spirit of Christ -- this one is not His; and if Christ
is in you, the body, indeed,
is dead because of sin, and the Spirit
is life because of righteousness, and if the Spirit of Him who did raise up Jesus out of the dead doth dwell in you, He who did raise up the Christ out of the dead
shall quicken also your dying bodies, through His Spirit dwelling in you. Romans 8:9-11
for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all
shall be made alive, and each in his proper order, a first-fruit Christ,
afterwards those who are the Christ's,
in his presence,
Do those emboldened take place at the same moment?
The Spirit of God, the Spirit of Christ spoken of above is it also the Holy Spirit?
Now those who have had the Holy Spirit shed forth om them abundantly, are they presently inheritors of eternal life or they presently heirs of eternal life?
Exactly when do the heirs become inheritors? Is that relative to, each in his proper order?
Hebrews 1:2 YLT in these last days did speak to us in a
Son, whom He appointed
heir of
all things, through whom also He did make the ages;
Is eternal life a thing? What about glory? Is glory a thing? What about Jesus the Son? Was glory given to him? Did he inherit glory? When? 1 peter 1:21? When he was raised from the dead, to die no more, death having no more dominion over him? Rom 6:9? Are we joint heirs of that same glory? When will we inherit that glory? Phil 3:20,21 For our citizenship is in the heavens, whence also a Saviour we
await -- the Lord Jesus Christ -- who shall transform the body of our humiliation to its becoming conformed to
the body of his glory, according to the working of his power, even to subject to himself the all things.
Christ the first-fruit?
Is that the order being spoken of in 1 Cor 15:23?
Col 1:18?
