John 11:25 I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he may die, he shall live.
There was a saying my mother would say, "I brought you in this world and I'll take you out." Looking at it now, this shows me ownership of creation. Although she would never harm us, she wanted us to know what kind of power she possessed.
In our Scripture, Jesus is assuring us He has the power to resurrect that which is dead and give it life again. This life He speaks of is eternal life. But even in the here and now, with those who believe in Him, they have the ability to live according to God's plan and have new life in this earth realm.
Although everyone will die a physical death, only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God as well as believe God raised Jesus from the dead, their spirits will be resurrected and will live in eternity with God.
Do you believe?
Your thoughts?
To live is Christ. To die is gain--eternal life!
