Jesus Christ appeared to abolish death and bring to light life and immortality through the gospel. Judgement unto glory, honour, immortality and peace is given to every man that worketh good according to the gospel.
At the sound of the last trump, we shall all be changed and the dead in Christ will put on immortality and incorruption. We put on the Lord Jesus Christ to wake out of sleep and cast off the works of darkness.
Put on the new man and let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another, doing all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. To Him that overcomes, He will give a white stone and a new name written, which is our new character in the Lord.

Jesus Christ appeared to abolish death and bring to light life and immortality through the gospel.
