The Choice is Yours
No More SufferingOne of the things that marks this life is that while there are many good things to enjoy and be thankful for, it is a life that involves suffering and death. Somethimes this is through "natural" causes, other times through war, famine or criminal acts. |
No More Death
Death is an ememy and it comes because of the curse of sin but through the death of Jesus for our sinns and through his glorious resurrection, death has been defeated. Consider what the Bible says...
"When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory." "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" (1 Corinthians 15:54-55).
Jesus has conquered the power of death having suffered in our place and suffered death himself...
Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil—and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death (Hebrews 2:14-15).
To all who put their hope in Christ, Jesus death brings personal victory over the power of death.
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" (John 11:25-26).
