he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. 

Believest thou this?” ‭‭John‬ ‭11:25-26‬ ‭KJV.‬‬

Point of Reflection:

Hanging over each and every one of us is the reality that one day

 our body will fail and we will depart this body.

 After that comes judgement and either eternal life or eternal damnation. 

The word of God declares in Hebrews 9: 27:

 "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:”

Acts 17:31 tells us the judge will be Jesus Christ

 and that He will overlook ignorance and judge in righteousness. 

 Justice, righteousness and holiness are the foundation of His throne 

and will be the hallmarks of His judgement decisions.

 He is qualified to judge by His suffering, death and resurrection.

Every authority, power and dominion has put put under His feet.

He has been exalted to the highest level in the universe.

He was given the Key of David, keys over life and death.

 He is qualified to give us eternal life because He is the resurrection and the life.

 He tasted death on behalf of every person, conquered death 

and is now qualified to impart eternal life to all who believe in Him.

That is why in Jesus Christ we can now declare that

 death is swallowed up in victory. (1 Corinthians 15: 54) and

 "O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory

 through our Lord Jesus Christ.” ‭‭1 Corinthians 15:55, 57 KJV

By the resurrection Jesus Christ is able to set you completely free from the fear of death.

 Satan has used the fear of death as a weapon to put many people in bondage all their lives.

 Many remain petrified and haunted by the prospect of dying. 

That is why His word says:

‭‭“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood,

 he also himself likewise took part of the same;

 that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.”‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭2:14-15‬ ‭KJV‬‬. 

When one believes in Jesus Christ as Lord, He deposits His Holy Spirit in us,

 which will regenerate and then merge with our own spirit.

 We are then "born again" and have the capacity to see and taste eternal life,

 be given a foretaste of eternity. ( See John 3:3-6; Ephesians 1:13-14).

 The Holy Spirit is given to us as, deposit,

foretaste and down payment for eternity. Glory to God!

In Jesus Christ you have victory over death because

 He is the resurrection and the life and 

death has no more power over Him and therefore over you. 

His Holy Spirit given to you as down payment gives you a foretaste of eternity.

 The Holy Spirit also vacuum packs your spirit,

 and seals it  and stamps it ready for eternity. Glory to God!

 You therefore need not have fear over death, but victory over it.

When you are ready-

Prayer: Thank you that you are the resurrection and the life.

 By your Holy Spirit I am sealed for eternal life and

 I have received a foretaste of eternity.

 Thank you for victory over death and assurance for eternal life. Amen.

Confession: I am a child of God, washed clean and cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ.

 By the Spirit of Jesus Christ in me, I have a fore-taste of eternal life and victory over death.
