Death - Answers for Successful Living on SuccessAndFailure

Death - The Ultimate Failure Or The Ultimate Success

Death can represent a terrible end in failure or it can represent the ultimate success.
It all depends if we gave our lives to Jesus Christ. The bible tells us that life goes on
beyond living in this body. The question is what kind of life will you have after you die.
If you gave your life over to Jesus, God gives us amazing promises...if we did not,
we will pay the price of eternal separation from God.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For
You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Psalms 23:4 (NKJV)

But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave, For He shall
receive me. Selah Psalms 49:15 (NKJV)

He will swallow up death forever, And the Lord GOD will wipe away tears
from all faces; The rebuke of His people He will take away from all the
earth; For the LORD has spoken. Isaiah 25:8 (NKJV)

Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted.
Matthew 5:4 (NKJV)

"But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was
spoken to you by God, saying, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob'? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living."
Matthew 22:31-32 (NKJV)

"That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit
is spirit. John 3:6 (NKJV)

"He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall

"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has
everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
John 5:24 (NKJV)

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution,
or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all
day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter." Yet in all these things we are more
than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life,
nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,
Romans 8:35-38 (NKJV)

Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed in a moment,
in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be
raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption,
and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on
immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory." "O Death,
where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?" 1 Corinthians 15:51-55 (NKJV)

For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I
shall choose I cannot tell. For I am hard pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ,
which is far better. Philippians 1:21-23 (NKJV)

Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that
through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through
fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. Hebrews 2:14-15 (NKJV)

Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And
there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were
opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their
works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and
Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then
Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book
of Life was cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15 (NKJV)
