Die

Shall never die

John 6:50  

But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which a man may eat and not die.

John 11:26  

And whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

In Adam all die

1 Corinthians 15:22  

For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.

I die daily

1 Corinthians 15:31  

I die every day—I mean that, brothers—just as surely as I glory over you in Christ Jesus our Lord.

To die is gain

Philippians 1:21  

For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

Anointed once to die

Hebrews 9:27  

Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,

2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Thoughts on This Verse....

God told Solomon that the Temple would be a place his people could come and be assured that their prayers would be heard if they honestly and humbly would seek God. This promise is true still, to this very day, for while God's physical Temple isn't standing, his spiritual one is found in the gathering of his people (cf. 1 Cor. 3:16; Matt. 18:20). What a great blessing and what a powerful gift for us today! We know that when we gather with believers and humble ourselves before God and seek his presence he will hear us. Rather than wait for a grandiose, world-wide effort to start, why not get together regularly with others who will join us in this prayer effort?
