DESCRIPTION

H.J. Vine preaches about the transformation of believers' bodies from
their current state of humiliation to future bodies of glory,
emphasizing the importance of using our bodies in a way that honors God.
The resurrection of Jesus serves as a promise and evidence of this
future transformation, with believers' bodies being likened to seeds
sown that will bear fruit in resurrection life. The sermon highlights
eight distinctions that will mark our future bodies for the praise of
God, including being quickened, raised, incorruptible, glorious,
powerful, spiritual, heavenly, and immortal.

Thus Paul wrote to the believers at Corinth, for they were in danger of
using their bodies in a wrong way (1 Cor. 6:18-20).

A day is approaching when the bodies of the redeemed will be altogether
for the praise of God's glory. They are bodies of humiliation now: they
will be bodies of glory then, for Christ will have come and raised or
changed them.

The resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ is the pledge and proof of
this, as 1 Corinthians 15:20-23 shows, "Christ the Firstfruits,
afterward they that are Christ's at His coming."

The burial of a believer's body is spoken of as seed sown, and the fruit
is borne in resurrection. Dead and buried it will burst forth soon in
resurrection life! The sleeping time will give place to the glorious
awaking! The eighth day, or the first day of the week, often speaks of
the resurrection day, and eight distinctions, or glories, are to mark
our bodies for the praise of the living God soon, as this chapter
clearly shows

1. A quickened body (vv. 36, 45).

2. A raised body (v. 42).

3. In incorruption (v. 42).

4. In glory (v. 43).

5. In power (v. 43).

6. Spiritual (v. 44).

7. Heavenly (v. 49).

8. In immortality (v. 53).

"When this corruptible shall have put on incorruptibility, and this
mortal shall have put on immortality," we may truly say, God will
eternally be glorified in our bodies.

Oh! for grace to glorify Him increasingly in them now, as we await the
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
