Pearl:Translated

summary

A born again christian has already been translated, just like Enoch was according to the scripture.

verses

Enoch was taken up to heaven while he was still alive.

(Genesis 5:24 [KJV]) And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

(Hebrews 11:5 [KJV]) By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

Similarly God the Father has translated us into the kingdom of his dear son. Notice that it says hath translated, so it has already happened.

(Colossians 1:12-13 [KJV])
 [12] Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
 [13] Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

Notice also below that we, the born again believers in the lord jesus christ, are already sitting in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

(Ephesians 2:4-7 [KJV])
 [4] But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
 [5] Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
 [6] And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
 [7] That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
