2 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man--and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things (Romans 1:23)

3 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man--and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things (Romans 1:23)

4 not liable to corruption or decay, incorruptible, is used of (a) God, Rom 1:23; 1 Tim 1:17 (AV, immortal ); (b) the raised dead, 1 Cor 15:52; (c) rewards given to the saints hereafter, metaphorically described as a crown, 1 Cor 9:25; (d) the eternal inheritance of the saints, 1 Pet 1:4; (e) the Word of God, as incorruptible seed, 1 Pet 1:23; (f) a meek and quiet spirit, metaphorically spoken of as incorruptible apparel, 1 Pet 3:4 (Vine, p 246) The word is used these seven times in the Scripture as noted by Mr Vine

5 God

6 God Now to the King eternal, immortal (incorruptible, JRM), invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever Amen (1 Timothy 1:17) Now to the King of the ages, [the] incorruptible, invisible, only God, honour and glory to the ages of ages Amen (1 Timothy 1:17) Darby

7 God 1) Notice Paul s contrast Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man--and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever Amen (Romans 1:22-25)

8 God 2) Foolishness of serving idols Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men's hands They have mouths, but they do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see; They have ears, but they do not hear; Noses they have, but they do not smell; They have hands, but they do not handle; Feet they have, but they do not walk; Nor do they mutter through their throat Those who make them are like them; So is everyone who trusts in them (Psalm 115:4-8)

9 God 3) Superiority of the incorruptible God! God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands Nor is He worshiped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings (Acts 17:24-26)

10 God His Word

11 God s Word Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever (1 Peter 1:22,23)

12 God s Word 1) God assures us it will not pass away because All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass The grass withers, And its flower falls away, But the word of the LORD endures forever Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you (1 Peter 1:24,25) Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away (Matthew 24:35)

13 God s Word 2) Man has tried to destroy His word Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, with a fire burning on the hearth before him And it happened, when Jehudi had read three or four columns, that the king cut it with the scribe's knife and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth (Jeremiah 36:22,23) Jehoiakim king of Judah

14 God s Word 3) Quote from Martin Luther He also wrote, St James' epistle is really an epistle of straw for it has nothing of the nature of the gospel about it" (Luther, M Preface to the New Testament, 1546) And In the first place it is flatly against St Paul and all the rest of Scripture in ascribing justification to works Besides, he throws things together so chaotically that it seems to me he must have been some good, pious man, who took a few sayings from the disciples of the apostles and thus tossed them off on paper Or it may perhaps have been written by someone on the basis of his preaching (Luther, M Preface to the Epistles of St James and St Jude, 1546)

15 God s Word 4) Will be there in judgment He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him--the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day (John 12:48)

16 God His Word Inward Adornment

17 Inward Adornment Do not let your adornment be merely outward-arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel--rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God (1 Peter 3:3,4)

18 Inward Adornment 1) Notice what is said of the virtuous wife Many daughters have done well, But you excel them all Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised Give her of the fruit of her hands, And let her own works praise her in the gates (Proverbs 31:29-31)

19 Inward Adornment 2) True Jews For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God (Romans 2:28,29)

20 Inward Adornment 3) The building up of the inner man For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height--to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all

21 God His Word Inward Adornment Our Crown

22 Our Crown Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable (incorruptible, JRM) crown (1 Corinthians 9:24,25)

23 Our Crown 1) Great effort to obtain this crown Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified (1 Corinthians 9:26,27)

24 Our Crown 2) Sacrifice is required You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules The hard-working farmer must be first to partake of the crops (2 Timothy 2:3-6)

25 Our Crown 3) Effort will be rewarded For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing (2 Timothy 4:6-8)

26 God His Word Inward Adornment Our Crown Our Inheritance

27 Our Inheritance Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you (1 Peter 1:3,4)

28 Our Inheritance 1) Some will not receive it! But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God (Ephesians 5:3-5)

29 Our Inheritance 2) Heirs because of what Christ did For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the

30 Our Inheritance 3) Jesus is the giver of this inheritance And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ (Colossians 3:23,24)

31 God His Word Inward Adornment Our Crown Our Inheritance Our Bodies

32 Our Resurrected Bodies Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed--in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed (1 Corinthians 15:51,52)

33 Our Resurrected Bodies 1) Death alive Adam Christ For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive (1 Corinthians 15:21,22)

34 Our Resurrected Bodies 2) All will be resurrected Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth--those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation (John 5:28,29)

35 Our Resurrected Bodies 3) Each will spend eternity somewhere! Then the King will say to those on His right hand, Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world Then He will also say to those on the left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life (Matthew 25:34,41,46)
