I am going there to prepare a place for you. Jesus told His disciples: “In my Father’s house are many rooms if it were not so, I would have told you. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed” (1 Cor. Believers will be given a resurrection body at the end of time “in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. The Christian is then “absent from the body and present with the Lord” (2 Cor. At that point, the person's soul is immediately ushered through “the gates of Heaven” (Genesis 28:17 Revelation 21:21). The third and final resurrection portal is entered when the body of the believer dies. “In His great mercy God has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade - kept in Heaven for you,” (1 Peter 1:3-4) and for all who have received Christ through faith (John 1:12). In other words, one must be saved, forgiven, justified and redeemed through faith in Jesus (Romans 3:21-26). Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth, unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. The second resurrection portal is an essential element of Christianity.
On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you” (John 14:19-20). Jesus said, “Because I live, you also will live. The second resurrection portal is necessary “so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith” (Ephesians 3:17). “If Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness” (Romans 8:10). If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him and he with me” (Revelation 3:19-20). Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. How does God enter the believer? Through a door that is, a portal. The Apostle Paul informed believers: “Christ lives in me” (Galatians 2:20), and “your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit” (1 Cor. When you receive Christ as your Savior through faith, (Ephesians 2:8,9) the God of the universe enters your body through a portal in your soul and takes up residence within you. The second resurrection portal is inside man’s soul. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost … but Christ has indeed been raised from the dead” (1 Cor. The first resurrection portal is an essential element of Christianity. “If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile you are still in your sins. Do you accept this fact of history and this fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies concerning the coming Messiah? (Psalm 16:10 Psalm 22:1-31 Isaiah 53:1-12). Christ had risen from the dead, just as He foretold (Matthew 16:21). When the women “found the stone rolled away” and then walked through the portal into the empty tomb, “they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus” (Luke 24:2). The first resurrection portal involves believing the historical fact that the crucified Savior rose from the dead. You’re telling me 12 apostles could keep a lie for 40 years? Absolutely impossible.” Watergate embroiled 12 of the most powerful men in the world - and they couldn’t keep a lie for three weeks. They would not have endured that if it weren’t true. Everyone was beaten, tortured, stoned and put in prison. How? Because 12 men testified they had seen Jesus raised from the dead then they proclaimed that truth for 40 years, never once denying it. Ryle said, “The resurrection is a fact better attested than any event recorded in any history, whether ancient or modern.”Ĭharles Colson said, “I know the resurrection is a fact, and Watergate proved it to me. The first resurrection portal is the opening to the tomb Jesus exited after rising from the dead (Matthew 28:5-7). | Bruno van der Kraan on UnsplashĪs Christians prepare to celebrate Easter, are you aware that Jesus Christ created three resurrection portals? The first portal is rooted in history the second is rooted inside man’s soul and the third is rooted in Heaven. A portal is “a doorway, gate, or other entrance.”
