Going Through the Change of Life                              (Sanctification)       1 Cor.15:50-58

Have you gone through the Change of Life yet? Lev. 17:11 states the spiritual dynamic that Life is in the Blood- The nature of the life is in the blood- Blood was either unclean or clean according to what the nature of the animal was- The blood of bulls & sheep could take away sin just because it was clean by divine choice  &  innocent by nature-   (Sanctification- 2 Cor 1:10=  Delivered- Delivers – will Deliver- )

(Luke 24:39)  "Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have."

1)     We Must be Changed (50)

Ø     A primal shift in our DNA the transformation of the old man into the new man.

Ø     Moving from a Blood based life to a Spiritual life- The Greek word Bio to Zoa

Ø     From life to death from carnal to spiritual from man centered to God Centered

2)     We Shall Be Changed (52)

Ø     The Promise of God- is the basis of hope- what a statement of faith “ WE SHALL BE CHANGED” It is going to happen as much as I some days doubt  it.

Ø     Why do I doubt it? I look at my failures,&  my short comings

Ø     A visual Illustration John 6:15-21They had rowed 3 or 3 ½  miles (now the sea of Galilee is only 6 miles across at it’s widest point and 12 miles board

3)     We are being Changed (53)

Ø     en-doo'-o;- to sink down into a garment- Jesus told his disciples to wait till they had been endued with power from on high

Ø     All through the bible the illustration is clothing-

(Isa 61:3)  “bestow a crown of beauty instead of ashes, oil of gladness instead of mourning, a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair"

Ø     The Clothes really did “Make the Man” they made the High priest,( Num 20:28)  they made the king,  They made Mordecai (Est 8:15) They Made Daniel (Dan 5:29) And they will make YOU (Eph 6:13-17- Loins= truth, Chest= Righteousness, Feet = Peace , Helment Salvation , Shield =Faith, Sword of Spirit)          >    Victory is only achieved through change and change is only

4)     Victory leads to Change- (54-57)  encountered through intimacy with god

Ø     3 Victories- Victory of Death– Victory of grave (Hell)- Victory of Soul

Ø     nee'-kos= Conquest – NIKE  Victorious life- victorious church- victorious faith
