On Truth and Falsity

                               Jesus is the Truth

Jesus promised His disciples, and all other believers saved by His grace, that He would make a special place for them in Heaven and that He would return just for His Church, and He will receive His Church to be with Him in Heaven forever. This will be the Rapture of His Church. John 14:1-4 (KJB).

Thomas became perplexed by Jesus' promise because he did not understand where Jesus was going or the way to get there. Thomas seemed to be somewhat of a materialist, and so he spoke as if Jesus were talking about a road that led to some city. John 14:5 (KJB).

Jesus told Thomas, and all of His believers saved by grace, that He is the only way to get to Heaven. John 14:6 (KJB). Jesus would bring Thomas, and all others saved by His grace, to be with Him and His Father in Heaven. Only believers saved by grace receive the gift of eternal life in Heaven. When believers saved by grace die, their souls and spirits immediately go to Heaven. II Corinthians 5:5-9 (KJB). But Christ will save every believer's body also at the Rapture of the Church. Romans 8:10-11; I Corinthians 15:51-57 (KJB). The Holy Spirit washes with the blood of Christ the souls and spirits of all believers saved by grace completely clean of all sins and evil the moment they repent and believe, and so their souls and spirits can go directly to Heaven when they die. I Corinthians 6:11; I John 5:18; Hebrews 10:12-14 (KJB). But believers saved by grace retain their fleshly natures which will cause them to sin. Romans 7:17-20 (KJB). This means that in order for God to save their bodies, the Holy Spirit must wash the fleshly natures of believers clean of all their sins and evil with the water that flowed from Christ on the cross as they daily repent of them. John 13:1-13; I John 1:9 (KJB). This means that the Holy Spirit thoroughly cleans and saves forever the souls and spirits of all believers saved by grace the moment they repent and believe, but the Holy Spirit will also sanctify the entire Church so that the bodies of all believers will be completely cleansed and made perfect at the Rapture of the Church. John 5:24; Ephesians 5:25-27 (KJB). But some believers will backslide and fail to daily repent of their sins and evil, and so their fleshly natures will be filthy with sin and evil when the Rapture happens. But Christ will deal with those backsliders, and He will cause them all to repent just before He Raptures His Church. Ephesians 5:25-27 (KJB).

Even so, God will never forever save the earthly bodies of any humans. The earthly bodies of all humans must die because of sins and evil and return to the dust from which God made them. Genesis 3:19; I Corinthians 15:50 (KJB). Christ will bring new and perfect bodies with Him when He comes to Rapture His Church. II Corinthians 5:1-4 (KJB). These perfect bodies will rise from the graves of all believers saved by grace, and "in the twinkling of an eye" all alive believers will instantly be transformed into their new bodies, and they will leave their dead bodies behind when they rise to meet Christ in the air. I Corinthians 15:50-57 (KJB). Christ will cause every believer to repent so that He can exclude all sins and evil from all of their new bodies that He will create for them. Christ will present His Church to Himself as being absolutely clean and perfect. The new bodies of believers will be a perfected form of their dead bodies. Ephesians 5:25-27 (KJB). God can never lose anything He has ever created. Ecclesiastes 3:14 (KJB). God does not lose the earthly bodies of humans when they die. He simply recycles them. Dead bodies decay and feed plant life which, in turn, provides oxygen and food for animal life. In this way, God makes certain that physical life continues.
