DEATH ABOLISHED FOREVERMORE!

2 Timothy 1:10
King James Version (KJV)10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel

The above verse says Jesus has abolished death. If medical research or a pharmaceutical firm found a pill to abolish death it would be the biggest breakthrough in world history and trillions would be made, if it was ever made available. Well, guess what folks, Jesus has already done it--the pill is called the Gos-pill, get it? (not a literal pill--just a joke) It is a substance though, called Faith!

Hebrews 11:1 KJV
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

All we have to do in order to never die is believe, If you want to fly to London just step into the provided airliner. It would be very silly to try and buy a pair of wings to cross the Atlantic, that wouldn’t work! Jesus did all the excruciating, agonizing and humanly impossible work at the Cross, so we can have Eternal Life with Him in Heaven. (Way better than anything on earth)

John 3:15 that whosoever believeth may in him have eternal life.


Of course we are not discussing physical death here, that will happen to all of us eventually. (Except for those believers who are alive when Jesus returns at the second coming)
Death, eternal spiritual death, in its ultimate form, has been legally abolished and destroyed. Religion cannot destroy death, only Absolute Life can destroy death.
Life Himself defeated it eternally on its own turf then rose again after confiscating the keys of hell and death off satan.

Revelation 1:18 KJV
I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen;and have the keys of hell and of death.

The Good News is that not only will we live with him in our spiritual form, but we will eventually get a brand new body just like the one Jesus had after the Resurrection.

John 11:25-26 (Message)
“You don’t have to wait for the End. I am, right now, Resurrection and Life. The one who believes in me, even though he or she dies, will live. And everyone who lives believing in me does not ultimately die at all. Do you believe this?”

The sad part is that we have an enemy who does his best to blind our eyes and hearts to the awesome, stupendous, magnanimous deal that God has purchased for us and He is freely offering to all who will receive it.


How would you react, if an eccentric looking homeless man handed you a million dollar cheque, (or check) written on a tattered old faded and stained check form. Maybe we would be very suspicious of its veracity and neglect to bank it or cash it. If so and the check just happened to be legitimate, we would miss out on the money.
Well many forget to bank the Gospel in their hearts by believing in the risen Jesus.
So like the man who doubted the old stained check, all they perceive the prescription for defeating death to be, is an old outdated religious sects superstition written in an old beat up Bible.
Even worse a million dollars is absolute garbage, compared to Eternal Life in Gods Heaven of Love. It’s not about how good or bad we think we are, its how good God is and how much he loves to provide Eternal Passage to Heaven. When we call Him Lord Jesus and believe He rose from the dead, well, that’s how we step on board with Him Forever.

GALATIANS 2:19-21 MESSAGE What actually took place is this: I tried keeping rules and working my head off to please God, and it didn’t work. So I quit being a “law man” so that I could be God’sman. Christ’s life showed me how, and enabled me to do it. I identified myself completely with him. Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not “mine,” but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I am not going to go back on that.
Is it not clear to you that to go back to that old rule-keeping, peer-pleasing religion would be an abandonment of everything personal and free in my relationship with God? I refuse to do that, to repudiate God’s grace. If a living relationship with God could come by rule-keeping, then Christ died unnecessarily.---WORDS OF PAUL OF TARSUS IN TODAYS ENGLISH


Romans 10:11-13 (MSG)
11-13 it’s exactly the same no matter what a person’s religious background may be: the same God for all of us, acting the same incredibly generous way to everyone who calls out for help. “Everyone who calls, ‘Help, God!’ gets help.”

Isaiah 1:18 (NKJV) | In Context | Whole Chapter
18 “Come now, and let us reason together,”
Says the LORD,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.
