" If a man dies, will he live again? "
This is the question raised by Job, an upright man of God in the 18th book of the holy bible.
The following are the three prominent questions that Job pursues:
1️⃣ Job 14:4 - "Who can make the clean out of the unclean?"
2️⃣ Job 14:10 - " But man dies and lies prostrate. Man expires, and where is he? "
3️⃣ Job 14:14 - "If a man dies, will he live again?"
Let us examine the primary question. The holy bible teaches us that the ones who are born from man are sinners.
Psalms 148:6 - "He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away. "
The law which is given by God and violated by Adam and Eve, our foreparents.
Genesis 1:26 - Then God said, " Let Us make man in Our image".
In Genesis 2:7, it is clearly stated that man is created out of dust. But in Genesis 2:15-17, there revealed the incident that made man violate God's words. Thus a spiritual death had occurred in man.
Genesis 6:6 - "The Lord was sorry that He had made man"
Romans 5:12 - "Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned"
Psalms 14:1-3 is also underlining this notion.
Romans 6:23- "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord"
Here is the definition of sin - Committing something that displeases God, and staying away from performing the things that please God.
Analysing the 2nd question: Job 14: "But the man dies and lies prostrate. Man expires and where is he? "
Those who are born into this world will surely die irrespective of their state of living. The holy scripture provides a perfect guideline for a man to know how he should live in this world and to understand the events after his death.
When he is in this world, our Lord Jesus Christ has resurrected many deceased ones.
John 11:26 - "And everyone who lives and believes in me will never die".
From the analysis of all these scripture portions, there is one fact that we can make sure of. The spirit of one who believes in Jesus Christ will reach the eternal home.
Dear ones who glance over these words,
May you be blessed with these thoughts.
Romans 10:8,9- " But what does it say? 'The word is near you, in your mouth and your heart' that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from death, you will be saved".
May you be a blessing.
🙏Amen🙏
