Death Comes First

Contributed by Gary Christensen on Mar 9, 2016

We think that Life comes first, and death follows. But, think of death happening first, then Life follows. It happens when we first believe. We were DEAD in sin, until God brings us the word of LIFE. The butterfly seems to DIE, then comes back to LIFE!

Death comes first. "Unless a corn of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone. But, if it dies, it brings forth much fruit." (John 12:24) Let's begin with a very basic Universal Principle: “First comes Death,.. then comes Life!” I know, it sounds backwards. We ...read more

Contributed by Joel Mcreynolds on Mar 24, 2016

After spending time in fasting and prayer, Esther acted courageously. Because God is in control, we can live courageously.

This has led some to cast it out, or think that it should not be part of the Bible. Esther in Church History 1. Not one commentary was ...read more

Facing Death In Christ

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 11, 2021

Why do many Christians fear death? Of course the act itself can be horrifying (such as crucifixion ...). But many fear death no matter what the cause. Should this be normal for followers of Jesus? What do we see in the Bible? How does that compare to what we feel?

The Penalty Of Sin Is Death

Contributed by James Linders on Jun 28, 2015
