DEATH
IS NOT THE END
Read:
1st Corinthians 15:12-19, Bible in one year: 1st
Chronicles 1-2, Luke 13:10-30
Everything in this life will come to an
end one day. However, the life of a man does not end inn death, it continues in
eternity, either with God in Heaven or with the devil in the place of torment.
Those who believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and live by the
expectation of experiencing the same someday, have the hope of eternal life. The
Bible in 1st John 3:2-3 says:
“Beloved,
now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we
know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as
he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he
is pure.”
Jesus Christ promised that He will come
back to take us home after preparing a place for us. Here are His words in John
14:2-3:
“In
my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I
will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be
also.”
Those who have this hope in them will
conduct themselves in a way that is expected of saints.
“LORD,
who shall abide in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that
walketh uprightly, and workerh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his
heart.”
Psalm
15:1-2
This scripture reveals the condition to
be met by those who will triumph over death, while Revelation 21:1-7 gives a
brief description of the eternal life of bliss awaiting those who give their
life to Jesus Christ, what awaits them is the second death. This is described
in Revelation 21:8:
“But
the fearful, the unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and
whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their
part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second
death.”
I pray that an eternity in the Lake of fire will not be your portion in Jesus’ Name.

Father,
let me find eternal rest in Your kingdom in Jesus’ Name.
