Til death do we part

[Saint]

We die to sin
We die to death
We die with Christ
With Him we'll rest

Our lives are full of death
Yet we hide from it, frightened
Until we die one final time
To live with our Father, forever lightened

Death, our final victory
Holds us in fear
It tears us apart
And brings us to tears

But by His grace
And by His love
Hush now... for death comes quickly
And with it, Life from above.

Everyday, hundreds of Christians shrink from the thought of a physical death, but in all honesty both life and death, used together, are what Christianity revolves around. And why should we fear death? Jesus died so we could live forever, We died to sin so we could live with righteousness, and we die here, so we can live forever with our Father. Death, it would seem, should only be a fear if it is the second death.


Revelation 12:11 NIV
They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.

It sure is nice to see someone your age, so well studied in GOD'S WORD!

Just to see how well you face the facts. It is So obvious that the ONLY thing WE ALL have in common, is a Conciousness,that Anyone that even Beleives

in GOD(Get Over Death) ALMIGHTY; is at least on the right track, Hoping or Knowing that there IS better than this.

These 5 senses of Death on top of OUR ETERNAL CONCIOUSNESS, and a LIBRARY full of information, That OUR ENEMY

The king of Babylon(confusion) IS using, To try and have US doubt OUR FATHER, or try to confuse US, About Where OUR Minds came from.

After all OUR FATHER States; ALL SOULS BELONG TO ME!!!

Love & Peace Forever in CHRIST!!!Bro! Keep up the GOOD WORKS!

thanks man, i was little afraid that no one would see the significance of this, but i'm glad to meet someone who very much does. wisdom and knowledge to you, thanks

I don't. It is life I fear. Every morning I pray is the day I will meet Jesus and be reunited with my soul.

The way I've always seen it is, we live to die but most don't take the attitude of spending a lifetime to get ready or get more grounded in the mind or thoughts of Christ, so when the body and mind fails, the person's spirit will always be Christ centered if he prepared for it way beforehand.

For some people death is such a big thing when it's only just another change. If your ready to meet God it is no big deal.

 

[charisenexcelcis]

Rather than seeing life as a prelude to death, I believe that abundant life invades this temporary life. "The life that I live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God".

 

[Saint]

it's like when paul said, "Philippians 1:21-23-21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell. 23 For I am hard pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. 24 Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you.

according to John we have eternal life right now

according to John we have eternal life right now

but we aren't enjoying it in streets of gold, sadly enough

but we aren't enjoying it in streets of gold, sadly enough

But we can have a "streets of gold" frame of referance, realizing that the things that the world values greatly often have little value in the light of eternity.

The unknown. I think some are in unrest of what they can't see.

Christ stated I have FORETOLD you ALL things; that was directed toward the Fig Tree Generation!

Whats Unknown???

What is unknown is the unfathomable. "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it entered the heart of man all that god has prepared for those who love Him."

 

[Saint]

What is unknown is the unfathomable.

like God: job 11:7-9-7 "Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty? 8 They are higher than the heavens--what can you do? They are deeper than the depths of the grave--what can you know? 9 Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea

 

[OreoSoleil]

according to John we have eternal life right now

maybe he made that point - but he didn't mean it literally.

There is no suffering in Heaven -- there is no way the life here is even comparable to the life after I die.

Sorry; I was refering to the Current Situation!

It sadden me when i go to funerals and see 'chritians' and non-christians weeping
uncontrolably, because i see thesse people as being without hope, meaning they
do not understand the BIG PICTURE, that all this is only temporary, even death, which
too shall be cast into the Lake of Fire. So where is their faith (for the believers)? It is
written that the day of one's death is better than the day of one's birth (Eccl7:1);
therefore, should we not celebrate at funerals, especially for those we believe are
saved: knowing that their struggles are over and they are with the LORD? But, i think
christians mourn more so when they believe the person who died was not saved? My
dad passed away last Dec., and my mom, who has been in the church since her youth,
always talks about his soul. He very rarely went to church and didn't read the
Bible, so she is convinced he is lost, and it depresses her severly still. The point i
always stress to her it that we can never proclude the mercy of GOD since that is
HIS to give, nor can we judge which way a person is going to go (UP/Down). We can
beleive a person is in heaven or hell, but we can in no way so it is so. Besides, it is
written the Love covers a multitude of sins (1PT4:8), which again, is the LORD'S
right to forgive sin

Christians should not fear death, nor anything else except GOD: and to have fear is
a sign of insecurity, or wavering faith. If GOD allows satan to take me by any means,
I'm outta here! And GLORY TO GOD because my work is done and my bones shall
find rest. And, GOD Willing, my spirit shall return to Him.

i agree with you on the idea that we should be happy for our lost ones, and even death itself because we finally get to meet our Father, and that will be the best day of our lives, but i can also understand how we can miss our friends. and plus, Jesus wept.
