The Three Aspects of Redemption

Romans 8:23 "And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our sonship, the redemption of our body."

Romans 6:6 "Knowing this, that our old man has been crucified with Him in order that the body of sin might be annulled, that we should no longer serve sin."

Philippians 3:21 "Who will transfigure the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of His glory, according to His operation by which He is able even to subject all things to Himself."

23:40  但另一個應聲責備他說，你既是一樣受刑的，還不怕神麼？
