◄ As the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself. ►

Our Savior Jesus Christ … has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. § I am the resurrection and the life. § Because I live, you will live also. § We have become partakers of Christ. § Partakers of the Holy Spirit. § Partakers of the divine nature. § “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. § Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come! …[He] lives forever and ever. § The blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality. § Now to the King eternal, immortal… be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
