The Last Enemy

"The Last enemy to be destroyed is death"

1 Corinthians 15.26

Really?

Death is an Enemy? 

Yes.

Does this mean we don't have to die?

Yes. 

That, according to the Bible,

we can conquer death?

Yes. 

Then why do we die?

Because we don't know that we don't have to.

Because we believe we must. 

Because no one told us that 

Life is about living,

not dying.

Jesus brought Life and Immortality to light

through the gospel.

2 Timothy 1.10 

But the graveyards are full of dead people
full of ministers, priests and saints who died
believing in Jesus!
My mom and dad believed in Jesus,
My grandmas and grandpas
believed,
yet they are dead.

Why did they die?

Because they didn't know.

Because they believed they had to die,

to Live!

They were deceived.

Programmed.

Deluded,
As are we,
and as will we too die,
if we don't get our minds around this ideal. 

The Bible is the Book of Life,

Not the Book of Death. 

The scriptures don't promise death,

or of going to Heaven or Hell. 

The gospel of Christ 

is a matter of life or death! 

Jesus, 

Who is the second Adam,
and who conquered death,
is the first born of many brethren.

He chose the tree of Life in the Garden

Rather than the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. 

But like everything else on Earth,

this Truth too, 

The knowledge of the Tree of Life

the understanding of the Perfect law of Liberty,

is obfuscated

because it is not loved.

It is hidden, 

because it is not chosen, 

not believed.

This is not a new teaching,
it is very old
and has gotten many killed.
A contradiction you say?
No, they will be given a new body
Time to brush it off,
to revive it.
