die
Death, physical, Summary:
(1) Physical death is a consequence of sin (Genesis 3:19) and the universality of death proves the universality of sin. (Romans 5:12-14).
(2) Physical death affects the body only, and is neither cessation of life nor of consciousness.
( See Scofield) - (Habakkuk 2:5).
( See Scofield) - (Luke 16:23).
(Revelation 6:9); (Revelation 6:10).
(3) All physical death ends in the resurrection of the body.
See "Resurrection" (Job 19:25).
( See Scofield) - (1 Corinthians 15:52).
(4) Because physical death is a consequence of sin, it is not inevitable to the redeemed. (Genesis 5:24); (1 Corinthians 15:51); (1 Corinthians 15:52); (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17).
(5) Physical death has for the believer a peculiar qualification. It is called "sleep," because his body may be "awakened" at any moment. (Philippians 3:20); (Philippians 3:21); (1 Thessalonians 4:14-18).
(6) The soul and spirit live, independently of the death of the body, which is described as a "tabernacle" (tent), in which the "I" dwells, and which may be put off. (2 Corinthians 5:1-8); (1 Corinthians 15:42-44); (2 Peter 1:13-15).
(7) At the believer's death, he is "clothed upon" with a "house from heaven" pending the resurrection of the "earthly house," and is at once "with the Lord". (2 Corinthians 5:1-8); (Philippians 1:23); (Luke 23:43).
