“If a man die, shall he live again?” Job 14:14.
For the Christian the answer to that question is found in the words of Jesus:
“I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, though he die, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth on me shall never die,” John 11:25,26.
There is scarcely any other subject of religious thought that holds so keen and such a universal interest for us as that of the future life. It has exercised the mind of man in every age, and invariably there has been an innate longing in the hearts of individuals to perpetuate themselves beyond the grave. It is, therefore, not merely an academic question, but one that presses for an answer at the door of each one of us. Ultimately it will be the supreme question for each of us. It is a question aroused primarily not by fear of the future, but by a natural God-given desire to enter into that larger life and destiny which we instinctively feel is ahead. This month's Article of the Month is the second installment of Loraine Boettner's book, Immortality. Interestingly enough, the title of the chapter is just that, "Immortality". The author divides his topic into 10 sections which deal with the various aspects of immortality from a brief historical sketch of commonly held beliefs about immortality in the ancient world, dealing with the Scriptural teaching and finally the benefits of believing in immorality. You can access the article here: Immortality. Or, you can also find it HERE. In His service and grace,
simul iustus et peccator
