By No Human Hand

Where does death come from?

Where does death return to?

How does it take a soul?

No human being knows.

Should we not consider death?

Death is tied to each living being.

Our destiny is death.

There is no escape from it.

Actual death itself is another story.

The body dies, the spirit or soul does not.

God created the soul of man to be eternal. 

Eternity with God is secured through the cleansing blood of Christ, redemption by a spotless Lamb who is able to satisfy God's wrath toward sin.

The other Eternity is with Satan in Hell for rebellious sinners who refuse the salvation that only comes from Christ.

This should terrify every breathing soul!

Job 34:20

    [20] In a moment they die;

        at midnight the people are shaken and pass away,

        and the mighty are taken away by no human hand.

Job 27:20

    [20] Terrors overtake him like a flood;

        in the night a whirlwind carries him off.

2 Peter 2:6

[6] if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction, making them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;

James 4:14

[14] yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.

Job 7:7

    [7] “Remember that my life is a breath;

        my eye will never again see good.

Matthew 16:26

[26] For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?

Job 27:8

    [8] For what is the hope of the godless when God cuts him off,

        when God takes away his life?

Psalm 49:7-9

    [7] Truly no man can ransom another,

        or give to God the price of his life, 

    [8] for the ransom of their life is costly

        and can never suffice, 

    [9] that he should live on forever

        and never see the pit.

Luke 12:20

[20] But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’

Romans 8:1-4

Life in the Spirit

[1] There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. [2] For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. [3] For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, [4] in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

Colossians 2:13-14

[13] And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, [14] by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.

1 Timothy 2:3-6

[3] This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, [4] who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. [5] For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, [6] who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.
