Death (means a “separation”) - 6

Walk in newness of life:

Romans 6:3-4

3 Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 

4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

Have received eternal life:

John 5:24 

“I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.

1 John 5:11-13 

11 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 

12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

Those who keep the word of Christ will never see death:

John 8:51 

I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.”

John 11:25-26 

25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; 

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

Death cannot separate them from the love of God:

Romans 8:38-39 

38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 

39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death:

Revelation 2:11 

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt at all by the second death.

Revelation 20:6 

Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.

The death of their bodies is called “sleepy” only:

1 Corinthians 15:58 

Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 

13 Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. 

14 We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
