Dear sister, from down under like me, the answer to how we died with Jesus is answered for us in Hebrews: And if I may say so, Levi, also, who receives tithes, paid tithes in Abraham. for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him. Heb 7:9-10 and... For both He who sanctifies and they who are sanctified are all of One, for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brothers, saying, "I will declare Your name to My brothers; in the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You." And again, "I will put My trust in Him." And again, "Behold Me and the children whom God has given Me." Heb 2:11-13 Since the Word tells us we are called the "children" of Jesus, and then the Holy Spirit writing through Peter tells us how we were conceived: ...having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the living Word of God, and abiding forever. 1 Pet 1:23 The incorruptible "seed" being the Holy Spirit, ...and the Word of God being the "ovum," so to speak, just like Levi being in the "loins" of his grandfather Abraham, many years before he was born, so were we in the "loins" of Jesus when he died on the Cross of Calvary, ...roughly 2,000 years before we were born...

Margo, Margo, Margo, ...please excuse me, ...but I'm tired of hearing the song you play on your "one" string guitar, ...you keep saying, ...for the past 17 months that you want to "discuss" the Word of God, ...but you refuse to answer my question about John 14:16: And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; I'm a Blood Bought, born again child of God, ...led 24/7 by the Holy Spirit, ...He doesn't lead me into sin, however, when I do sin, I don't become an "unborn" child of God, "...logically" speaking (as you say), that can't happen in the physical realm, ...so how can it happen in the "spiritual" realm, ...how does one become "unborn?" but, ...back to the question... Since Jesus promised me He would give me the Holy Spirit and He would abide (live) with me forever, if I'm thrown into the Lake of Fire, ...which means the Holy Spirit goes with me "forever," ...which also means He is NOT God, or, The Holy Spirit leaves me and is not with me forever, ...which makes Jesus a liar... Which one is it??????? Please, no diatribe, ...just answer the question, ...pleeeessse 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We find out the rewards after, not before, we do so. You are correct! However, ...after we "repent" and "change our minds" we discover that not only do we have "rewards" presently, ...but actually our "rewards" were given to us "before" we repented, ...even before the "foundation of the world!" Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as He (Father) hath chosen us in Him (Jesus) before the foundation of the world, that we should be Holy and without blame before Him (Father) in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself (Father), according to the good pleasure of His (Father's) will, To the praise of the glory of His (Jesus) grace, wherein He (Jesus) hath made us accepted in the Beloved. Eph 1:3-6 Brother, I don't know about you, ...but I bask in the spiritual blessing that I "now" enjoy being "in" Christ seated at the right hand of His, and my Father, ...on His Throne in the Heavenly Court...

Rom. 8:31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Rom. 8:37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
