- The bodies of believers who have died in Christ will rise out of their graves first, and we who are still alive will be caught up together with then in the clouds. We will all be changed in the twinkling of an eye, when Christ will "transform the body of our humble state into conformity with His own body of glory."

The Lord shall change the outward fashion of our body; but this change will be more than a change of outward fashion: it will result in a real conformity of the resurrection-body of the believer unto the glorious body of the Lord.

Fittingly, the first mention of humilityin all the Bible comes in the escalating showdown between Egypt’s Pharaoh and Israel’s God, mediated through Moses. Moses first dared to appear before Pharaoh in Exodus 5, and spoke on Yahweh’s behalf, “Let my people go” (Exodus 5:1). To which Pharaoh replied, “Who is Yahweh, that I should obey his voice and ...
Put another way, humility embraces the reality that I am not God. Pride led to humanity’s fall when Adam and Eve desired to “be like God” (Genesis 3:5) contrary to his command. Humility would have obeyedhis command — which is what we will see below in Christ. Humility, then, is a creaturely virtue. It is a posture of soul and body and life that ack...
Let’s marvel, then, at this remarkable word from the apostle Paul — that Christ “humbled himself” (Philippians 2:8). Note first, confirming our definition above of humility as a creaturely virtue, that the eternal Son first became man (verse 7), then humbled himself (verse 8). The verb Paul uses to capture the action of the incarnation is not humbl...
So, first, he became man. Then, as man, came the creaturely virtue: “he humbled himself.” Paul confirms what we learned about humility in the negative example of Pharaoh in Exodus 10: How did Jesus “humble himself”? By becoming obedient. To humble oneself is to acknowledge God as Lord and to obey as servant. In order to do so, then, the Son had to ...
But his self-humbling does not stop at obedience. The apostle adds, “to the point of death.” Christ’s obedience was an all-the-way obedience. A true obedience. He did not obey for a time, as long as it was comfortable, and then try another path. No, he obeyed to the point of death. Real obedience endures in obedience. Christ did not begin in obedie...
God indeed does command our humility. His hand and plan conspire to humble us, whether through pandemics or through the consequences of personal sins. And there in our humbling, whether our own sin played a part in it or not, he invites us to humble ourselves — and in no small measure by learning from the self-humbling of Christ. The humility of Ch...
The humility of Christ, in his life and death and resurrection, also testifies to one of God’s clearest and most memorable promises in all the Scriptures: he humbles the proud, and exalts the humble. So it was with Christ. He humbled himself, and “God has highly exalted him” (Philippians 2:9) — literally, “super-exalted” (Greek hyperypsōsen). And s...
Dec 2, 2019 · God gave you your body, and He made it as He did on purpose. Those who modify their bodies for the sake of beauty should only do so out of love to Christ, love for others, contentment in Christ, and to glorify Him.
The Lord shall change the outward fashion of our body; but this change will be more than a change of outward fashion: it will result in a real conformity of the resurrection-body of the believer unto the glorious body of the Lord. The body of our humiliation; not "vile body."
We need to be humbled because our high-mindedness won’t do it for us. Left to our own devices, we tend to grow in pride and arrogance rather than in humility. Therefore, God, in His mercy and grace, develops humility in us. There are four ways He does this. Let’s look briefly at what they are. 1. God develops humility through suffering.
