1 Corinthians 15:54-57
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.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Introduction
Death is the opposite of life, the departure of life. It is the separation of the body, soul and spirit. The body is destroyed and the spirit goes back to God.
What Are The Causes Of Death?
- Disobedience to God
James 1:15
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. -
Sin
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. -
Dishonesty
Ezekiel 22:13
Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.
- Pride
Proverbs 16:18
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Ambition for power
Act 8:19
Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
Who Can Conquer Death?
- Jesus Christ
1 Corinthians 15:15
Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
- Those Who surrender their lives unto Jesus Christ
John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
How Do We Conquer Death?
- By rapture
1 Corinthian 15:55
O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?
By living the life of holiness
1 Peter 1:15-16
15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
Conclusion
Jesus Christ died that you and I mighty live.
Thank You Jesus!
