“If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.” Colossians 3:1-4 (NKJV)
We died with Christ Jesus: 2Timothy 2:11(NKJV); Colossians 2:11-13(NKJV)
“Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptised into Christ Jesus were baptised into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection,” Romans 6:3-5 (NKJV)
We are hidden with Christ in God: Galatians 3:26-27(NKJV); 1 Corinthians 15:20-22(NKJV)
“Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.” John 6:53-57 (NKJV)
We appear with Christ in Glory: Colossians 1:27(NKJV); Romans 6:8-11(NKJV)
“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (NKJV)
All the above verses and much more explain very well that we should be united with Christ Jesus now itself through immersion baptism, so that we receive the remission of sins and have the Holy Communion and live a new life with Him in God. This way you already enter into the Kingdom of God, which is at hand, so that when the Rapture comes we will leave the earth to be with the Lord having our own immortal bodies too. So we look forward for that blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen.
