•                 of us will die

  For all can see that wise men die; the foolish and the senseless alike perish and leave their wealth to others.
  Psalm 49:10

• We will all die because of                .

  For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!
  Romans 5:15

  There are two kinds of death

  1.                                          death

     "Cursed is the ground because of you; By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return."

     Genesis 3:17, 19

  2.                                               death

  Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

  Rev. 20:14-15

• Jesus                                          both 'deaths' by his death and resurrection

  Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death--that is, the devil--
  Hebrews 2:14

  And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
  Col. 2:13-15

• When I die I will either be in Heaven or Hell

  Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, Hebrews 9:27

• As a Christian, I will be in                                with Jesus

  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. According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
  1 Thess. 4:14-15

• A Christian's view of death is amazing!

  For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. . . I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.

  Philip. 1:21,23-24

Because of Christ . . .

. . . death is not to be                               

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Psalm 23:4

. . . there is                                                          and                                                              for us

Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.
Daniel 12:2

After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. . . These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Revelation 7:9, 14

THINK IT THROUGH

• What if you died today -- are you ready?
• How will you be remembered after you die?
• What legacy will you leave behind?
• What are you doing to ensure that now?
• Have you ever thought about Heaven as your life's ultimate goal?
