Have Christians already been translated into the kingdom of heaven?
Yes, Scripture says believers have already been translated into the kingdom of heaven. Their citizenship is in heaven, and from there they look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will change their vile body to be fashioned like His glorious body.
Les teaches that Colossians says we have already been translated into the Kingdom of Heaven. He explains that our conversation, or citizenship, is in Heaven, and from that same Heaven where the Lord is now waiting, we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Les emphasizes that Christ shall change our vile body, this one prone to sin and death and disease, so it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body. He points out how plain and simple this is, contrasting it with gobbledygook. He also notes that even Abraham had a concept of resurrection, believing God would resurrect Isaac if his life were taken.
