In the 'Book of Life' only the names of 'the living' are written down. In Luke 20:37-38 we read that the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, 'is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living, for to Him all live'. Even though these patriarchs had died, before God they were among the living. For example, in Revelation 20:11-15 we read about the judgment of 'the dead', from which the living, who are recorded in the 'Book of Life', will escape. The 'second death' has no power over believers, we read in Revelation 20:6. All people participate in the first death from birth, because all people are 'born in sin'. Through faith in the Lord Jesus 'we have passed from death to life' (1 John 3:14) and from that moment on the second death no longer has power over us. For those who do not believe, their first death after dying will turn into the second death, with which they will be lost forever!
One day there will be no more sin, no more evil, no more pain. Jesus, who is called the Lamb of God and the Lion of Judah, will return to bring everlasting peace to the earth. Until then, we must trust Him and His Word and tell others about the peace we can have in Him today!
๐Isaiah 53:5๐
โBut he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.โ
The last few days I've had an incredible amount of scoffers on X , I can hardly count them anymore, I don't look back anymore but just keep proclaiming the good news! This means that Jesus is coming soon!
"From 2014-19, pre-injury, Klay was unflappable. He rarely required much maintenance from me as a coach. He was just so happy playing and playing at a high level. I would check in with him and he was always fine and loving life. That changed after the two injuries.
He's struggled to try to get himself back to that level. Even though I think he played really well at times for us over the last few years and obviously helped us win a championship...He was still a really high-level player. In his own mind and I think in the minds of everyone watching, he wasn't the same guy as he was prior to the injuries. And Klay really struggled with that.
The stuff that went on organizationally, honestly I think that stuff is all a by product of the frustration with the injuries.
We were always in great stead with Klay in terms of our relationship and communicating how we felt about him. In the end, he really needed this career change and I think it's going to be good for him."
