~ Some Things Will Never Decay! ~
Incorruptible
God ~ “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” (Romans
1:22-23). “Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who
alone is wise, be honor and glory
forever and ever. Amen” (1
Timothy 1:17).
Incorruptible
Blood ~ “Knowing that you
were not redeemed with corruptible things,
like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your
fathers, but with the precious blood of
Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot” (1
Peter 1:18-19).
Incorruptible
Word ~ “Having been born
again, not of corruptible seed but
incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, 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 1:23-25).
Incorruptible
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, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to
be revealed in the last time” (1 Peter 1:3-5).
Incorruptible
Apparel ~ “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). Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded, in all things
showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity,
reverence, incorruptibility, sound speech that cannot be condemned, that
one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you” (Titus
2:6-8). “Grace be with all those who
love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible
love” (Ephesians 6:24 NASU).
Incorruptible
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 crown” (1 Corinthians 9:24-25).
Incorruptible
Body ~ “Now this I say,
brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does
corruption inherit incorruption. 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. For this
corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on
immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has
put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: ‘Death
is swallowed up in victory. O Death,
where is your sting?
O Hades, where is your victory?’” (1 Corinthians
15:50-55).
