Life and Death

    We know our bodies, our earthly tents, will wear out. All of us, every single one, will die. There is no getting around it. What happens after we die? Our culture wants to avoid the subject. Live life to the fullest! Party on! Life is short! Live it up! It is as if there is nothing after our short lives on earth. The eternal part of us lives on. Our soul, which is our mind, our will, and our emotions moves on. Where?  With Jesus, we have the definitive answer.

"Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life and will bot be judged, but has crossed over from death to life." John 5:24

    When sin entered the world man was separated from God spiritually. And that is the second death. Without Christ, our soul will be eternally separate from God. There is spiritual death, or the second death. With Christ our soul lives on and we are filled with His Spirit! Without Him, there is darkness and eternal hell.

Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who is victorious will not be hurt at all by the second death.  Revelation2:11

     Believe what the Spirit of God says. Believe in Jesus. We have already crossed over from death to life. We will never, not ever, be separated from the love of Christ. Eternity awaits.

Jesus,
Your truth speaks out. We have a choice. Let everyone hear the words You speak. We pray for those who do not know You. And we thank You for the gift of eternal life.
Amen
