When we see the Christian, or the sinner(Lost) die, we shed many a tear. Our loved ones go to meet the Lord, and we remain with our, sorrow and loneliness, because of their passing. Will the love circle be unbroken, will we be again reunited in Heaven, or in Hell?
“But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.” (Luke 20:35-36)
“But they which shall be accounted worthy.” The circle of life starts with love. It begins with conception, and then birth. This is the same with the spirit. Our lives are controlled by our decisions in life, weather they be decisions of lifestyle, or the decisions of religion. God, being the creator of all things, has set up a pathway to Heaven, it therefore is up to us weather we choose life, or death.
This pathway is narrow, with no faltering or deviation, from the center. No turning to the right, left or looking backward. But the pathway to hell, is wide, with many a pit fall, and as it is written, “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” (Mat 7:13-14)
To be accounted worthy of His salvation, we must be reborn in the spirit, which thereafter changes our way of life. This circle of family has two different paths, 1. The path to Heaven, and 2. The Path to Hell. As many believe, the parents are the roll model for their children. So as the parents live, so live their children. To be accounted worthy of His salvation we must believe, and do the works of the Lord.
“Neither can they die any more.” In this life, we die, and are buried. Even those that die at sea, are still remembered by God. No one is left unaccounted fore. We have the death of the body, and there is also a death of the spirit, not from existence, but from the face of God, this is called the second death, which Christians will not suffer. For we know that the spirit of man, once conceived, cannot die, but shall live for eternity.
“Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.” (Isa 26:19-21)
Those that die in the faith of Christ will also be gathered together with Him for ever more. But those that die in their sins and iniquity shall also be raised to spend their lives in torment and anguish, being worthy of their fate. “And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.” (Rev 20:13)
“for they are equal unto the angels.” Those that die in Christ shall live forever more.
“And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. (Rev 14:13)
“And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”(Rev 19:9-10)
“And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.(Rev 22:8-9)
“are the children of God.”
“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:” (Rom 8:16) God has given all men the power to become His Children, but only threw faith in Christ. This circle of family cannot be broken, if all believe in Christ. This is not saying that all families shall go to Heaven together, but that threw faith in Him they can. But do not misunderstand, The Bible states the fact that, “We will be known as we were know.”
This as being an overcomer with the word of God. For as it is written and promised; “To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.” Our circle, after entering into the kingdom of Heaven, will be reordered into a circle of a new family.
“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” (1Jn 3:1-2)
“And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.” (Rom 8:23)
“being the children of the resurrection.” “And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.” This speaking of the resurrection of all the dead, the righteous(Saved) and the unrighteous(Unsaved.) (John 5:29)
“For he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.” (Rom 6:7-10)
For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me. (Job 19:25-27)
He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.
And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. (Isa 25:8-9)
Will The Circle Be Unbroken?
We must all look within ourselves to answer this question. Especially in these end days, where the children shall have the parents put to death, and the parents shall have the children also put to death. We live in a world of hatred of the family unit, and many have gone the way of Sodom and Gomorrah. So, for this circle to be unbroken, it first must be united into one. Just a thought. Ars.
