No Physical Death

Let ‘s start with the quote “As He is, so are we in Christ” which indicates the immortality of human life. According to the Word, we should be the reflection of His image. Which means, if Christ can’t die, so we should be. Then, what does death mean to us?

Origin of Death:

“Romans 5.12(KJV)”- Wherefore, as by one-man sin entered the world, and death by sin; and so, death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned

The verse convey’ s that DEATH entered the world through SIN.

“Romans 6.2-11(KJV)”-

2 How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death?

4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection:

6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

7 For He that is dead is freed from sin.

8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him:

9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over Him.

10 For in that He died, He died unto sin once: but in that He liveth, He liveth unto God.

11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord

Here, it indicates that the DEATH entered through SIN and the SIN means Death. As Jesus removed the Sin, death has no room in our lives.

“2 Timothy 1:10 (GNB)” - He has ended the power of death

There is no point of removing/conquering death in Heaven as there is no Death in Heaven. Death had authority over human world and death was defeated by Jesus in human nature. As sin and death are defeated, we have the inheritance to live forever.

The intention of God on us is not to die. According to the old covenant, we had a ritual of renewing our Sins over a period of One year by a burnt offering. If any person dies after a burnt offering, it is determined that he/she goes to Heaven. There is no need of Him to come down if His intension was to die physically and go to heaven.

“John 3.16 (KJV)” - For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Whenever I’m low, I always love to read this verse as it gives me Energy like a red bull. Here, the God himself gave His best for us so that we should live an adequate everlasting life on earth.

- According to Hebrews 2:9 (KJV ), He tasted death for everyone. And He raised back to life by defeating(punishing ) the death at its roots.

In other words, when we are cooking a curry, we take a sip to know the taste and add the spices accordingly. We are not knuckleheaded to take another sip without adding the spices. Similarly, Jesus has added the required spices to destroy the death at its roots and to bring life and Immortality on earth.

What believers are doing when a person is dead?

- Since from my early age, I’ve heard pastor’s saying at funeral’s- Our Beloved person XYZ is Sanctified into God’s glory. When they say that death is glorified, so should be the sickness. Is it not that Jesus destroyed sickness & death on the cross?

- Death is an Enemy to Jesus, but, for us, it’s a soulmate. So, we need to see the death and sickness as an Enemy but not in any other way.

God made us head of death, but we see ourselves death as our head.

Psalms 115.16 (KJV)- The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth hath He given to the children of men.

Genesis 1.28 (KJV) - And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion

- We never give a chance to lose what is ours like Money, bike, house etc. Similarly, God has given this whole earth to us and blessed us to be fruitful and have Dominion. In the whole bible, it is no where recorded that He failed to fulfill His Word. It’s just we need to believe our inheritance is to live forever on earth.

- Through one man, SIN entered the world and took over our inheritance to live forever on earth. In the same way, one man, Jesus came down for us, brought back our inheritance to live forever on earth and fulfilled His Word again.

- If it’s hard to believe the No Physical Death, here are the three verses wherein you can paint your life with the belief of No Physical death.

2 Timothy 1.10 ( KJV)

But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

Isaiah 55.11 ( KJV)

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

John 11.25-26( KJV)

He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live ( Talking about the deceased)

And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

Conclusion-

According to the John 11.26, it is evident that whoever believes in Jesus, shall never die. Here, Jesus Himself gives us a challenge- Believest thou this?

It’s up to us of what and how we Believe.
