Immortality

"For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality"- 1 Corinthians 15:53 (NIV).

Death can be a scary topic, but it shouldn't be for Christians. Dust turns to dust and returns to the ground, but your spirit returns to God. It was He who gave it (Ecclesiastes 12:7). Every soul belongs to and returns to God, but the soul who sins will die (Ezekiel 18:4). Through His one time sacrifice and death, Jesus was victorious over death. Death has been swallowed up! "O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?" (1 Corinthians 14: 54-55). Immortality, eternal life in Christ Jesus, is a free gift to those of faith. Christians are pardoned from the wages of sin: death (Romans 6:23). Christians, do not fear that which can kill your body; your soul is safe. Instead fear Satan, who can lead you into a life of sin that will destroy both soul and body (Matthew 10:28).
