1 Corinthians 15:53
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1 Corinthians 15:53
This corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. The so-called “oneness” of destiny: the current mortal frame must be transformed into an eternal, incorruptible form. It completes the logic: transformation is necessary for participation in the kingdom.
This reinforces the doctrine of resurrection and the final victory over death. It highlights the continuity between life before and after glory while marking the essential change that enables eternal life.
Let this future reality shape present priorities. Invest in things that outlast death—character, faith, love. In aging and illness, trust God’s design for transformation and lean on the hope of incorruptibility. Use your time and resources to bless others, knowing that God is preparing you for incorruptible life.
