June 24th - Morning | DEATH UNTO LIFE

Are dying or scared of death?

John 5:24
"I assure you, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.

Death is easily the greatest enemy of man. Voltaire the infidel told his doctor while on his deathbed, “I am abandoned by God and man. I will give you half of what I am worth, if you will give me six months of life.” The doctor replied, “Sir, you cannot live six weeks.” Voltaire said, “Then I shall go to hell, and you will go with me.” Misery sure does love company. Death was conquered by the Jesus on the cross. The Word of God testifies in 1 Corinthians 15:54-57 that, “When this (death) happens – when our perishable earthly bodies have been transformed into heavenly bodies that will never die – then at last the Scriptures will come true: ‘Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?’ For sin is the sting that results in death and the law gives sin its power - Thank God, who gives us victory over sin and death through Jesus Christ our Lord! We can enjoy life and not be scared of death if our trust is in Jesus.” You see, with Jesus Christ the victory is that we get to go from death unto life.
