But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of
it: or in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Ro. 5.12 Wherefore, as by one man sin
entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for
that all have sinned: 2. SEPARATES SPIRIT AND BODY Ec 12.7
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall
return unto God who gave it. Ro. 8:11
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in
you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal
bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 3. DOES NOT END CONSCIOUS EXISTENCE Ma. 17.3
And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. Lu 20.36
Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and
are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. Lu. 23.43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto
thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. 4. CERTAINTY OF DEATH Ec. 9.5
For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any
thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is
forgotten. Ze. 1.5
Your fathers, where [are] they? and the prophets, do they live for ever? He. 9.27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the
judgment: 5. IS DESIRED Job 7.15
So that my soul chooseth strangling, [and] death rather than my life. Lu. 2.29
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy
word: 2 Ph 1.23
For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be
with Christ; which is far better: 6. DEATH OF THE RIGHTEOUS 1Co 15:54 So when this corruptible shall
have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then
shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in
victory. Ps 23.4
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear
no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Ps 116.15 Precious in the sight of the LORD [is] the
death of his saints. Re. 14.13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto
me, Write, Blessed [are] the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea,
saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do
follow them. 7. DEATH OF THE WICKED Pr. 11.7 When a wicked man dieth, [his] expectation
shall perish: and the hope of unjust [men] perisheth. Pr. 24.20 For there shall be no reward to the evil
[man]; the candle of the wicked shall be put out. He 2.15
And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime
subject to bondage. 8. PREPARATION FOR DEATH De. 32.29 O that they were wise, [that] they understood
this, [that] they would consider their latter end! Ps. 90.12 So teach [us] to number our days, that we may
apply [our] hearts unto wisdom. Ro. 8.38-39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor
life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor
things to come, Nor height, nor depth,
nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. |
