I Don’t Want To Die

There are two absolutes, death and taxes. The Bible refers to death as the last enemy to be destroyed. What makes death so bad? Does being a Christian make death any easier? The fact is, we are all trapped in a body that is dying and this can lead to a lot of fear and anxiety. This podcast deals with the inevitable subject that no one wants to talk about but everyone must face.

(1 Corinthians 15:26 KJV)  The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

 (Hebrews 9:27 KJV)  And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

 (Genesis 2:16 KJV)  And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

 (Genesis 3:24 KJV)  So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

 (Galatians 5:1 ESV) For freedom Christ has set us free…

 (2 Corinthians 3:17 ESV)  Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

 (Galatians 5:13 ESV)  For you were called to freedom…

 (1 Peter 2:16 ESV) Live as people who are free…

 (John 8:36 ESV)  So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

 (2 Peter 3:13 KJV)  Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

 (1 John 2:15 KJV)  Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

 (2 Corinthians 4:16 KJV)  For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

 (1 Corinthians 15:32 KJV)  If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.

 (Isaiah 57:1 KJV)  The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.

 (Ecclesiastes 3:11 ESV)  He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.

 (Romans 8:21 KJV)  Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

 (Romans 8:22 KJV)  For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

 (Romans 8:23 KJV)  And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
