death

But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead. He’s the first crop of the harvest of those who have died. Since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead came through one too. In the same way that everyone dies in Adam, so also everyone will be given life in Christ. Each event will happen in the right order: Christ, the first crop of the harvest, then those who belong to Christ at his coming, and then the end, when Christ hands over the kingdom to God the Father, when he brings every form of rule, every authority and power to an end. It is necessary for him to rule until he puts all enemies under his feet. Death is the last enemy to be brought to an end, since he has brought everything under control under his feet. When it says that everything has been brought under his control, this clearly means everything except for the one who placed everything under his control. But when all things have been brought under his control, then the Son himself will also be under the control of the one who gave him control over everything so that God may be all in all. (1 Corinthians 15:20-28, CEB)

Jesus is the first crop from the dead, then all of us who believe and have faith will be harvested as well. Then death will be put to death. At the coming of the kingdom, death will be no more. We will die a human death, but we will never die the final death.

All things are under God’s control and we will be with God forever. That is the promise, and we can trust in that.

Trust in God and know even if we die, we will never truly die.

Loving People. Loving God.
