1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed but of incorruptible (seed) by (through) the word of God which liveth and abideth forever. (Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Rom. 10:17)
Does anyone know the definition of incorruptible? We are born again of incorruptible seed - which is spirit - That which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Is spirit eternal? Then the spirit born within us is incorruptible and eternal and THAT is what gives us eternal life.
incorruptible - aphthartos - un corrupted, not liable to corruption or decay, imperishable - That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
corruptible - phthartos - corruptible, perishing - That which is born of the flesh is flesh.
Bottom line: Our first birth is corruptible - this body will perish (unless the Lord returns first) but our second birth is incorruptible - NOTHING can corrupt the spirit born within us.
Anything we do in the flesh - in our walk, rather good or bad, will be judged at the judgment seat of Christ. Those "bad things" we have done and have not asked forgiveness for will burn, those "good things" we have done will remain. At the end of it all - we will be saved.
2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things [done] in [his] body according to that he hath done, whether [it be] good or bad.
1 Corinthians 3:13-16 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for he day shall declare it because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is (good or bad). If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss (of rewards) but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
I also know the following verses - no need to point them out and I know that we should walk worthy of our calling but the point is some will walk better than others. The "fire" will sort it out!
