On Death, Dying and the Future Hope 4th Quarter of 2022Lesson 3: Understanding Human NatureWhat is the breath of life, where does it come from and is it also in the animals? Did God create us to sin and die or to not-sin and live?Key Texts:Gen And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being [<chay> <nefesh>].Gen And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life [<nefesh> <chay>], and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.Ecc All go to one place: all are from the dust, and all return to dust.Ezekiel The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself. But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die.Romans Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned— (For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.  Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man's offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.[Same message repeated four more times]:Rom Rom Rom Rom Psalm The dead do not praise the LORD, Nor any who go down into silence. But we will bless the LORD From this time forth and forevermore. Praise the LORD!--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/from-the-top-ministries/message
