Rapture: if we die by ric gustafson
Our journey on this earth will some day end. Either we will experience death. Or we will experience the Rapture firsthand. Some people consider death terrifying. We are afraid to speak about death. God's Word is not. Around 900 times it is mentioned in Scripture. God's Word describes death as a transition into something new.
Death means separation. God's Word speaks about 3 kinds of death. The first is physical death. Our souls and spirits are separated from our bodies. Spiritual death is the separation of man from God. The third is the second death. This is when those judged at the Great White Throne judgment are banished to Hell. Those who are believers in God and Jesus will never die again.
We face the future with fear or with faith. With faith, we will not fear. Satan the Prince of Death has been defeated. Death is a journey not a destination. Death is a shadow not a reality. Death is lonely but we are never alone.
