 WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU DIE? IS THERE ANY EVIEDENCE? (PT 3)

 WHAT IS DEATH? [ 2 of 2]

The second type of death, we read about in Ephesians 2:1: “You were dead in trespasses and sins.”

This is a spiritual death. This is the death that Adam first experienced. The very moment Adam disobeyed YAHWEH ELOHIM (God) and took of the fruit of “the knowledge of good and evil,” he died - not his body but his spirit, and he was cut off from fellowship with ELOHIM.

Adam then knew what evil was. He experienced spiritual death - separation from YAHWEH the Almighty. And that death has affected the whole world.

Today we have a world of dead people. You see the crowds in the street. You say they are living, but the Bible says that most of them are dead. But YAHWEH is working to create new life within us. This is the most essential thing - to receive the life of Elohim, so that we are made alive in Messiah (Christ). We read also in Romans 5:

“Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so death spread to all men, because all sinned ...

Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned exactly as Adam did by violating a command . . . But the free gift is not like the offence. For if by the offence of the one man many died, how much more did the grace of YAHWEH, and the free gift of grace through the one Man, Yahshua the Messiah/Christ, overflows to the many.

Through the sin of Adam everyone in the world died, but through the death of the Master Yahshua Messiah, many are made to live.

Adam was made to live, but he died. The Master Yahshua (Jesus) came especially to die. Yes Yahshua Messiah died, but He rose again. And because He died and lives, all who put their trust in Him, will live also.

In the death of Yahshua Messiah, “the Lamb of Elohim,” the penalty of the sins of the world has been paid. Now a pardon is offered to every one who will receive it. And when we receive YAHWEH'S pardon and forgiveness, we also receive His life. It is called ETERNAL LIFE. This is the spiritual life that we are talking about.

The third type of death of which Scripture speaks, is eternal death. In Romans 6:23 we read:

 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of YAHWEH is everlasting life in Yahshua, Messiah our Master.” Sin still brings death

 Here the contrast is between ultimate life, and ultimate death.

Eternal life is YAHWEH'S the Almighty Elohim’s (God’s) life. Eternal death is the eternal absence of the living Elohim’s (God’s) life. Eternal death is the ultimate result of sin, and that means hell for ever.

We read in Revelation 20:14 of this ultimate fate:

 “Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death - the lake of fire.”

 We read in Matthew 25:46, that the lake of fire is a place of eternal punishment.

 So there are the three types of death mentioned in Scripture. We could describe each one basically as separation.

 Physical death is the separation of our soul and spirit from our body. Our soul and spirit flee, and our body is left behind - separation.

 Spiritual death is our spirit being separated from YAHWEH the living Elohim (God).

 Many people today are so greatly separated from YAHWEH the Creator. It is like a great gulf between them and Elohim (God). My friends here on FB, maybe you feel like that yourself. Maybe you are saying,

 “I feel so far away from Elohim (God.)”

 Ah, that’s because of this separation. But when you come to Messiah/Christ, you are reconciled to the Living Elohim. The gulf is bridged, and you are linked to the Almighty. His life then flows into you, and you come alive - spiritually alive.

 Eternal death is the ultimate separation. It is the total separation of man from YAHWEH the Living Elohim, and from everything that is of Elohim. It is separation from light, from love, from holiness, from righteousness. It is existence without hope, without peace, and without fulfilment. Think about it! Now the question:
