Bible Study Death You Are Defeated. Thank You Lord Jesus.

[JAG ..]

Death is the separation of the body from the soul. Uncle Sin fathered it
but Death was never God's original plan. Adam and Even were created
to live but the Serpent loves Death and he slyly maneuvered Eve into
embracing guaranteed rot. Satan is a crafty little devil, Rot-Monger,
Death-Dealer, liar ~ and a murderer too.

Satan and Death are ugly. And chilly. A human corpse feels cold and stiff
like clay. Thanatos son of Nyx, life grubber, has no warm heart, and if you
escape the crematorium the worms will eat you in spite of the formaldehyde.
You'll not be saved from the creepers. . When you die they don't prop you up
on the sofa in the Living Room ~ even though they love you ~ they are strongly
inclined to put you in a place where they are not: underground. So? So you
need to connect with someone who has the power to undo the work of the
worms. His name is the Lord Jesus and He was sent by the Father to do
exactly that. And He did. So after the worms finish up, later on you're going
to desperately need a new glorified body to replace the one the worms ate.
The Lord Jesus promised He'd give you one. Do you want it?

You'll desperately need a new glorified body so you can enjoy living joyfully.
You don't want to forever say goodbye to Joy. Joy is your friend. Love your
friends and keep them near. The Lord Jesus died for you on the Cross so
you could have Happiness and Gladness Of Heart and Joy ~ now and
throughout Eternity.

But you have a Joy-Problem. Alas, unforgiven sin is the big Joy-Killer. We must
all have forgiveness of sins ~ then after forgiveness comes Joy. "When you were
dead in your sins . . . God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,
having canceled the charges of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us
and condemned us, He has taken it away, nailing it to the Cross." Col. 2:13-14
Results? Joy.
"You love Him [Jesus] . . . you believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible
and glorious Joy, for you are receiving the end results of your faith, the salvation
of your souls." 1 Peter 1:8-9

Now you no longer have to worry about your soul perishing. John 3:16's "perish"
is a permanent Joy-Killer. You don't want it. You don't want to perish. You want
Eternal Life and you want perpetual Joy, Happiness, and Gladness Of Heart and
all three are yours when you believe in the Lord Jesus as your Savior. You were
created to be eternally creative and joyful and you don't want to forever say goodbye
to Joy, Happiness, and Gladness Of Heart ~ the good news: With Jesus as your
Savior, Joy will be your eternal friend. Death no longer has the power to steal your
Joy, thanks to the Lord Jesus' death on the Cross.

So?

So Satan and Death! You were not victorious. You lost the war. "The one who believes
in Me, will live even though they die"__The Lord Jesus. We're coming up out of those
graves smiling, ready for Eternal life. Ready to explore Andromeda. Journey out to the
Eye Of Sauron galaxy. Paint landscapes on Sagittarius' most beautiful planets ~ enjoying
Eternal artistic creativity as we explore the Universe. Where will you be as we the people
of God are strolling down Hallelujah Boulevard in some magnificent city on the edges of
Orion? Death for us is not like the death of the family dog. We die but we live again. Thank
You Lord Jesus for being the kind of Person that went straight into the pain for all of us.
"They came to the place called the Skull, they crucified Him there along with the
criminals ~ one on His right, the other on His left" Luke 23:33 Results?
"For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich,
yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty
might become rich." 2 Cor. 8:9

Death and Satan! You have been thwarted, overpowered, beaten, broken, and conquered.
You're toast, Death. You been pulverized. Thank You Father, thank You Holy Spirit, thank
You Lord Jesus.

Rom 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Rom 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
Rom 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
Rom 13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
Rom 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

1Co 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Co 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1Co 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
1Co 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
1Co 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
1Co 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1Co 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
