SIN, DEATH AND BEYOND: M.M.NINAN<br />
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.<br />
This is only part of the story. The next event in history is at the end of the ages when there will<br />
be visible appearance of Jesus on the earth to separate the rest of mankind into two groups.<br />
Thus we have one group separated out <strong>and</strong> totally redeemed <strong>and</strong> they are part of the Son of<br />
God himself as how the husb<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> wife are one. They are one body.<br />
Eph 5:31 -32 "For this reason a man shall leave his father <strong>and</strong> mother <strong>and</strong> be joined to his<br />
wife, <strong>and</strong> the two shall become one flesh." This mystery is a profound one, <strong>and</strong> I am saying<br />
that it refers to Christ <strong>and</strong> the church;<br />
This is because,<br />
Rom 8:1-2 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.<br />
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin <strong>and</strong> <strong>death</strong>.<br />
Hence we see a second resurrection into life, outside of the Church <strong>and</strong> a judgment.<br />
Mat 25:31-45 "When the Son of man comes in his glory, <strong>and</strong> all the angels with him, then he<br />
will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, <strong>and</strong> he will separate<br />
them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, <strong>and</strong> he will place<br />
the sheep at his right h<strong>and</strong>, but the goats at the left. Then the King will say to those at his right<br />
h<strong>and</strong>, 'Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the<br />
foundation of the world; for I was hungry <strong>and</strong> you gave me food, I was thirsty <strong>and</strong> you gave me<br />
drink, I was a stranger <strong>and</strong> you welcomed me, I was naked <strong>and</strong> you clothed me, I was sick <strong>and</strong><br />
you visited me, I was in prison <strong>and</strong> you came to me.'<br />
Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see thee hungry <strong>and</strong> feed thee, or<br />
thirsty <strong>and</strong> give thee drink? And when did we see thee a stranger <strong>and</strong> welcome thee, or naked<br />
<strong>and</strong> clothe thee? And when did we see thee sick or in prison <strong>and</strong> visit thee?'<br />
And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my<br />
brethren, you did it to me.'<br />
