Defining Death

Episode • Nov 26, 2019 • 3m

Hey everyone I’m Pastor Gary Hoban and welcome to episode 70 of Refinery Life radio /TV.

Our goal here is to release a 2-3 minute video / Podcast each day, designed to challenge you and get you to spend more time with God.

Today we are going to talk about, Defining Death.

2 Corinthians 5:8 (ESV)

8 Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

Perhaps the one thing that unites diverse cultures throughout history is the near universal belief in life after death.

The ancient Egyptians are a good example.

Archaeologists have revealed that the Egyptians buried their dead with pets, food, and even boats by which to navigate to the next life.

If nearly all world views hold to some sort of life after death, Christianity is the one that defines it with specifics.

For christians physical death is simply the temporary end of the life of the body.

God created humans to live forever, physically and spiritually.

But once sin entered the world, both body and spirit were subject to death.

It was necessary for both to be reborn.

Spiritual rebirth takes place ay the time we place our faith in Christ, while physical rebirth will occur at the resurrection of the dead after we leave the earth, or at the rapture for those who are alive when it happens.

Christians have no reason to fear death since their conscious spirit will always be in the presence of the Lord, that’s what our scripture today 2 Corinthians 5:8 tells us.

Make sure your fear of death is removed by faith in the Christ of Resurrection!

Until tomorrow

Stay in the blessings

I really want to encourage you to be diligent with your Bible study time, because God has so much more for us than we can get from just going to church once or twice a week and hearing someone else talk about the Word.

When you spend time with God, your life will change in amazing ways, because God is a Redeemer.

Theres nothing thats too hard for Him, and He can make you whole, spirit, soul and body!

You’re important to God, and you’re important to us at www.faithministries.com.au.

When it comes to prayer, we believe that God wants to meet your needs and reveal His promises to you.

So whatever you’re concerned about and need prayer for we want to be here for you! Or even if you just want to say Hi, you can contact us
