Dear Arlene,

 

I agree with you on everything you said about the Bride of Christ. I too love the definition provided in www.ffruits.org which you provided a link to.

 

It is good to review our beliefs now, because there is probably little time left. Soon, I believe, we will be with Jesus and be judged at the Judgment Seat of Christ where we will be awarded whatever crowns we have earned through our good works unto soul sanctification while here, after our spirit salvation. The final glorification of our bodies to resemble that of our dear Saviour will complete our transformation, the first of the spirit and the last of the body being done for us by Christ.

 

The sanctification of the body by our works is necessary. It is a difficult concept for many to accept even though it is clearly spoken of in Scripture. The ffruits site by Lyn Mize given above is an excellent place for anyone to start reading, if unacquainted with this important, and presently urgent, concept. I pray that everyone reading this message, and the message by Arlene, will have their spirit stirred and turn to understanding this concept, NOW.

 

Thanks you again, dear sister in Christ, Arlene, for bringing up this topic which we all know makes anyone associated with it the target of those who prefer not to accept it, even though it is clearly spoken of in Scripture.

 

With lots of love,

 

Robert
