He that breaketh the least of these commandments, and shall teach men so, the same shall be called least in the kingdom of God. I think that's Matthew chapter 5. Either way, I don't want to be known as least. We get criticized, oh, you're such a legalist, oh, you know, why are you trying to fight? I don't want to be called least in the kingdom of God. I want to teach men that, oh, yeah, it's okay, you don't have to follow anything. You're like, Pastor Bergen, I thought you just said that it's just believing in Jesus. It is for your salvation, amen. Don't conflate the two issues. Salvation is just by faith, it's just by believing, it has nothing to do with your works. But being a good child of God, doing what we're supposed to be doing here, earning rewards in heaven, earning, yeah, because you're doing some work for that, God will pay you for that, God will bless you for that, God will reward you for that, but that's not what saves you, that's not what gets you into heaven. Two different issues. So, we're of all men most miserable, and even in verse number 32, he kind of brings up the same point. He says, if after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage eth it me if the dead rise not? Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die. If the dead don't rise, then what good is it? Let's just eat, drink, be merry, have fun, party it up, live it up, and then we're just going to die. But that's not the case. We have something else to look forward to. We have eternity to look forward to. This life that we have here is but a vapor. It's a short life that we have to live here. So we choose not to live to self, just like Jesus didn't live for himself. He came to be a servant. He came to minister, not to be ministered unto. And that's exactly how we ought to be living, is serving others, not ourselves, not expecting people to wait on us, not expecting people to serve us, but we're going to go out and we're going to serve them. Verse number 20, 1 Corinthians 15, 20, the Bible says, but now is Christ risen from the dead and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. Verse 23, but every man in his own order. Now this is going to explain the order of these resurrections. There's three resurrections. The Bible says Christ the firstfruits. So that's the first resurrection, he's the firstfruits, if you will. The first resurrection is referred to this next one we're coming to. I'm just putting them in order, right, because the firstfruits isn't considered the first resurrection technically in the scripture, but there's basically three. Christ the firstfruits, afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. So when Jesus Christ comes back, that's what's known as the first resurrection, because Christ was basically kind of by himself there in that first resurrection. He's the firstfruits. The major resurrection coming up next, that first resurrection, is at Christ's coming. So when Jesus Christ comes back, that's also known as the rapture, when those of us who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with him in the air, and that's when our bodies are going to be chained. We're going to get into that again a little bit later in 1 Corinthians 15. That's the first resurrection. The Bible says in verse 24, then cometh the end when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father, when he shall put down all rule and all authority and power. Then that's where the second resurrection happens. And there's more scripture that explains this a little bit in further detail. The Bible says, turn if you would to Revelation chapter 20. While you're turning Revelation chapter 20, and keep your place in 1 Corinthians 15, we're coming back to it. While you're turning Revelation chapter 20, I'm going to read from John chapter 5. John 5, 24, the Bible reads, verily, verily, I say unto you, he that heareth my word and believeth on him that sent me hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is past from death unto life. Amen. This is my favorite verse in the whole Bible. I love this verse. I explain this out so many all the time because it's got three verb tenses, past, present, future. It says, you believe on him, you have everlasting life right now. You get it immediately. You don't have to wait for it in the future. You get it right now. And he says, you shall not come into condemnation. You're not going to be condemned in the future because he saved you forever because he says, you've passed from death unto life. You've passed from death unto life. It's already done. It's already over. You put your faith in Christ, you've passed from death unto life. You have everlasting life. You shall not come into condemnation in the future. That's a promise from Jesus Christ. And God is a God of his word.
