"Magnanimous" -2

"Lord, how long wilt Thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions." (Psalms 35:17) Okay, here is something to think about and place in your 'quotes to use' library of thought: "You will either be born twice and die once, or you will be born once and die twice". Interesting way to explain the concept of being 'Born Again', don't you think? But seriously, those are the actual results of our choices; because if we choose to be 'Born Again', then the only death that we shall suffer is that of the flesh, that being the death of the earthly vessel, yet our soul lives on and will receive a glorified body for all eternity; if we choose to reject God's free gift of salvation, and the spiritual birth that comes with it, then we will die in this earthly vessel, and then die again at the "Second Death" spoken of in Revelation 20:14. When David is speaking of "my darling", he is using a reference to 'his one and only', or that which cannot be replaced. Now, here is the thing God is showing me in this, and why I have chosen such a "Magnanimous" title to describe what I am seeing. First off; you do understand that this present body is going to be replaced, Right? It does not matter if you die, or get taken in the Rapture, either way, this body is going to be transformed, either from the grave, or in the air, we will have this body of destruction replaced with one that never decays! Our eternal soul, however, cannot be replaced, it's the 'one and only', one of a kind you, and will forever be yours. This body may experience only one death, but your soul will experience two deaths if it has not received "New Life in Christ"; because if you have not received God's free gift of salvation, then at the time of the "Second Death", your soul will receive a new body, after being raised from the dead, and that new body along with your soul shall be cast into the "Lake of Fire" for all eternity. The second thought is one that comes from the word "lions", which actually is speaking of young lions, because young lions have come to the place where they have learned to seize prey, but sometimes they will plunder or pillage just for the sake of the kill, which comes from a lack of knowledge or experience. Okay; we know that there are two different worlds that we live in, one being this earthly one, and the other being the spiritual one; and although we may not see or understand what is taking place in the spiritual world around us, we do understand more about what happens in the earthly one, and we can actually see what is happening. Upon our observation of this earthly world, we discover that it is seriously dying; all that is alive upon this earth is being devoured by death and decay, and there is nothing here which shall last forever. Therefore, isn't to our best interest to invest all of our attention to that which is not seen, and which is that which will last forever; primarily our one and only soul...
"For Moses described the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is to bring Christ down from above:) or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed." (Romans 10:5-11)
