1 | Christians ambivalent about death? | Phil 1:23 | Aixen7z4 | 97786 | ||
Comments: Heaven is a wonderful place. The main thing about it is, that tJesus is there. And we want to be with him! He also longs to have us there (John 17:24). It is the ultimate destination where every Christian will be whether through death or the Rapture. Some "Christians will fight tooth and nail to the very last breath to resist death"? Christians usually look forward to being in heaven and they are not afraid of death. They say, "O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?" They say, "The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ". They believe that it is better to die, because it means they will be absent from the body and present with the Lord. Sometimes they can't quite make up their minds about leaving, though, because they believe they are needed here, to lead others to the Savior, and to answer questions like this. |

2 | Christians ambivalent about death? | Phil 1:23 | JTB | 117149 | ||
There is nothing that we can do to add one second to our days. They are already laid out for us. But the option that the one who numbered those days has, is to extend them to us as a measured favor. We may never know how or why this happens, but it is God's preference. Leaving this world is not a priority for most people. Even christians. But to hold the promise of God's word for the time that comes for each of us is our duty. And to spread this news while we have the chance. Very simple. Words like "desideratum" are a nusiance to level thought patterns and layman terminology. The fact remains that this is a stupid question, no matter the level of vocabulary. |
