Sense the beginning, when Adam and Eve bowed their knees in disobedience to that old serpent which is called the devil, death reigned In the earth. Before this time, there was only life, and goodness, love, and joy. But afterwards death, and sorrow, grief, and pain. But ohh the Gospel contains the good new of Salvation. For in Adam, all die but in Christ, all live. Even if they have fallen asleep on the earth, they still live, Matthew 12:26,27. Jesus defeated death by His death, burial, and resurrection. Now all anyone need do, is to call upon the name of Jesus. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved Romans 10:13. Saved from an eternity separate from all that is good. Saved, and if they go onto obey Him as Lord in the earth, from calamity, misfortune, pre-mature death, fear, anxiety, and worries of this life. All of these things are a part of death. Once again, death has been defeated
1 Corinthians 15:22
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made aliv
Matthew 12:26,27 And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
