If a fish could sprout wings it could fly, and if a bird could grow gills it could live under the
sea, likewise as impossible as this is to happen, so is it equally impossible for us in our own
strength or determination to change our mortal bodies into the immortal bodies needed to live
in eternity.
As today’s scripture verse tells us, our mortal bodies WILL DIE and cannot either enter
into or survive in eternity because they have to be changed from one form to another, but how is that
possible? Well the answer is in the example that Christ set for us in His victory over death
when he rose from the grave and was transformed from His mortal body into an immortal body. Likewise:
“Our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die;
our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies.”
1 Corinthians 15:53
The question is 'How is this possible?' and the answer is that it starts with the
“The RENEWING of your MIND” (Romans 12:2) and that the first step of
that renewal begins by -Changing Your Mind About Who God Is & Your Relationship To HIM-
You see, that is the exact definition of the word REPENT. When we repent before God,
we see ourselves for who we really are – in a sinful, fallen mortal state that as Jesus said
“That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is
spirit” (John 3:6) We must start our transformation now by being
“Born Again” (John 3:3) and in changing our mind and agreeing with God
that we need transformation, then that transformation starts in us and:
“If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become new.”
2 Corinthians 5:17
If you are reading this and it does not make sense, that is understandable. In the above verse when
Jesus was talking to the top Rabbi of the day about being “Born Again” even
He did not understand Jesus’ words! Hopefully this is the day that YOU understand it,
and if so your transformation from mortality to immortality will happen!
The Bible says, “Today is the favorable time; behold, TODAY is the day of
salvation!” (2 Corinthians 6:2)
Will you be transformed today?
