Death Has No Hold On Me
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
(1 Corinthians 15:26)
Thought For Today:
I often wonder what people would think if, when a saint of God was dying, you got a phone call saying, "Come quickly, so and so is dying; it's time to rejoice, we are going to have a party and have a great time!" That's not how it works, is it? Yet, it ought to. Scripture states, "Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints" (Psalms 116:15). One of the reasons sin should not have dominion over you is because it is the sting of death (1 Corinthians 15:56). Both death and hell will be cast into the lake of fire (Revelations 20.14). If you are a true saint of God, you will not fear dying, because you are going to live and declare the works of the LORD (Psalms 118:17). Death and hell already know where they are going; do you? Paul said, "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain." What about you?
