Death is not the end - prose

Pro:14:32 But godly have a refuge when they die.  Man can only know (at least as of now), till he dies.  All his assets, all his achievements, all his accolades.  All his griefs, all his failures and all his loneliness.  Is only till he die. At least as far as he knows.  The greatest of the greatest can only say,  'Empty handed I came. Empty handed I go' But here is a man who claims to say Any one who believes in me Will live, even after dying.  That whosoever believes, shall not perish But have eternal life.  There need not be any fear of death if you believe in Jesus.  No uncertainty.  Your loved ones will be taken care of.  They will have His peace.  Believe in the Son of God.  And you will have eternal life (John:3:36)  What do you believe in Jesus?  That He died and rose again for my sin?  Well that is just the beginning.  Believe that He is enough. He is Elshaddai.  He will take c...

How does the reality of death, affect you?

Eccl:9:10 Whatever you do, do well. For when you go to the grave, there will be no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom.  Death being a certainty, the Qoholeth advises to do everything with a clear conscience. Nothing you have done or earned or valued, you would be able to take it with you.  You can echo with Thich Nhat Hanh who said, "I come here emptyhanded and I go emptyhanded." Beyond death you can take nothing material.

Deal with things in this life, which matters beyond death. You cannot make choices beyond death. Because there is no body involved. Living true to your conscience in this world is imperative. Because the One who controls death and beyond has instilled His glimpse in us, through the conscience. That is why there is a prick, or an urge to truthfulness, or an urge for ...

Death

Eccl:8:8 None of us can hold back our spirit from departing. None of us has the power to prevent the day of our death. There is no escaping that obligation, that dark battle. And in the face of death, wickedness will certainly not rescue the wicked.  Death is certain. The day of death a surity. All men who is born will face their day of death. There is no escaping it. Except you are Elijah the great prophet.  If it is a certainty, why fear it? Man has always lived with dread of that day. Why fear? Is it the pain that you would encounter? Or is it the pain of your dear ones? Is it the uncertainty that follows it? What will happen to me? What will happen to my dear ones?  The word of God says; yet it is a sleep. It is yet another ongoing journey. Your body will sleep. But your soul and spirit will carry on. Eternity is planted inside man. But the choices made here in this world determines that certainty. Whether it is spent in heaven, in the presence of your Cre...
