MEDITATION...

TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN

MEDITATING ON CEMETERY GROUNDS COULD BE HELPFUL IN REMINDING US HOW TEMPORARY AND FLEETING LIFE IS.

SOONER OR LATER PEOPLE WILL DIE AND WILL BE INCLUDED AS ONE OF THE DEAD.

AT FIRST LOOK, ALL IS VAIN AND WILL END.


UNLESS THERE IS SOMETHING THAT LIES BEYOND DEATH,
LIFE IN THE END HAS NO MEANING.


JOB 38:17 STATES:

"Have the gates of death been revealed to you, Or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?

MEDITATING ON THIS PASSAGE, IT REVEALS LIMITATIONS OF MEN'S ABILITIES BEFORE GOD.


ROMANS 6:23 STATES:

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in union with the Messiah Jesus our Lord.

MEDITATING ON THIS PASSAGE, IT REVEALS THAT SIN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DEATH IN THIS WORLD.

THE ONLY WAY TO LIVE FOREVER IS TO BE IN UNION WITH THE MESSIAH, JESUS OUR LORD.

Matthew 25:46 "These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

MEDITATING ON THIS PASSAGE WILL REVEAL THERE IS LIFE AFTER DEATH.
LIFE BEYOND DEATH IS ETERNAL. ONE WILL SOW WHAT ONE REAPS, IN ETERNITY.

Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned--

MEDITATING ON THIS VERSE REVEALS THE CONTAMINATION OF DEATH THROUGHOUT THE WORLD UPON MEN BECAUSE OF SIN...

Romans 6:21 Therefore what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death.

THINGS THAT ARE APART FROM GOD'S WILL IN THE END LEADS TO DEATH....

Romans 8:6 For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,

THE BODY WILL EVENTUALLY DIE...

BUT THOSE WHOSE MIND SET ARE UPON THE SPIRITUAL (IN RESONANCE WITH GOD'S WILL) OBTAINS LIFE AND PEACE.

Romans 8:13 for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

AS ONE LIVES IN ACCORDANCE TO WORLDLY DESIRES, AND UPON THE PROMPTINGS OF THE FLESH- IN THE END THESE THING LEAD TO DEATH.

IF ONE LEARNS TO CONTROL THE PROMPTINGS OF THE BODY AND SUCCEEDS IN DOMINATING ONE'S OWN DESIRES AND MASTERING THEM, SELF CONTROL AND DISCIPLINE OF ONESELF LEADS TO LIFE.

Galatians 6:8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

IF ONE FOCUSES ON ONE'S OWN TEMPORAL EXISTENCE AND LIVES FOR THE SAKE OF TEMPORAL THINGS THAT ARE OF THE FLESH, ALL ENDS EVENTUALLY IN CORRUPTION, AND DEATH.

FOR THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD ARE FLEETING, AND WILL END EVENTUALLY.

IF ONE FOCUSES ON THE SPIRIT, ITS EVOLUTION, ITS DEVELOPMENT, AND FINDING ONE'S TRUE SELF, IN RESONANCE WITH THE DIVINE WILL, SHALL INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE.

ETERNAL LIFE IS FOUND IN UNION WITH THE MESSIAH, THE CHRIST, AND IN RESONANCE WITH THE DIVINE WILL.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN.
