Death

Death Romans 5:12 Excerpt “Death” is a complex term in both Testa ments . Here it is not so much biological as a description of man’s spiritual condition, powerless in the grasp of an inner moral corruption that alienates human beings from God and makes final judgment a dread certainty. Adam’s sin insinuated both biological and spiritual death into our race, making both our present and future dark and grim. In contrast, Jesus interjects life, the opposite of death, making us alive to God and guaranteeing a bright eternal future.  More Richards, Lawrence O.  The Bible Reader’s Companion . electronic ed.

Death

Death Proverbs 8:36 Excerpt In the OT death could be used in a figurative as well as literal sense. Illness ( Ps. 30:2–3  [ 3–4 ]), enemies ( Ps. 9:13  [ 14 ];  55:1–4  [ 2–5 ]), and injustice ( Ps. 116:3 ) were all part of death in this sense. Thus, one could be biologically alive and spiritually dead ( 1 Sam. 25:37–38 ;  Jonah 2:2–6  [ 3–6 ]). Ultimately, one had to choose between (spiritual) life and death ( Deut. 30:19 ).  More Bellis, Alice Ogden. “Death.” Ed. David Noel Freedman, Allen C. Myers, and Astrid B.

Death

Death Romans 7:10 ,  13 ,  24 Excerpt In the NT , death is seen more as a theological problem than as a personal event. Death goes beyond the simple ending of physical life, which the authors accept almost without difficulty. Death is seen as affecting every part of a person’s life. God alone is immortal, the source of all life in the world ( Rom 4:17 ;  1 Tm 6:16 ). Only as human beings are properly related to God’s life can they live. But it has been unnatural for people to be in personal communion with the divine source of life since sin was introduced into the world ( Rom 5:12 ,  17–18 ;  1 Cor 15:22 ). When Adam separated himself from God, that separation brought death. Each human being has followed in Adam’s footsteps ( Rom 3:23 ;  5:12 ), bringing death for everyone as the absolutely necessary result ( Rom 6:23 ;  Heb 9:27 ). Death, then, is not merely something that happens to people at the end of their lives; it is also the living out...

Death Romans 5:12 Excerpt “Death” is a complex term in both Testa ments . Here it is not so much biological as a description of man’s spiritual condition, powerless in the grasp of an inner moral corruption that alienates human beings from God and makes final judgment a dread certainty. Adam’s sin insinuated both biological and spiritual death into our race, making both our present and future dark and grim. In contrast, Jesus interjects life, the opposite of death, making us alive to God and guaranteeing a bright eternal future. Richards, Lawrence O. The Bible Reader’s Companion. electronic ed.
