"Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you." (John 6:53 KJV)
"He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." (1 John 5:12 KJV)
So, as with almost every other principle of faith and redemption, there are the things that are towards the life, real life; and then there are things which are towards death, which is the life in the flesh. I might not be able to articulate well the meaning which I speak; but, based upon my observation of the spiritual condition found in many churches, there is a very thin line between what we choose to believe, but a very large gap between the life and death that result.
In the beginning, God told Adam, "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." (Genesis 2:17) Die! What is die? It must have been something that was explained a little bit; or was Adam able to figure out what it meant? Then, Satan comes along and throws out this little lie, "Ye shalt not surely did." (Genesis 3:4) Surely is a word that does not mean maybe!
Thus, we have this very thin line, which based upon what you believe, becomes a very large gap! And when I say large, I mean that the gap is between mortality and immortality! Basically, that is the sum of what I believe makes us true believers or earthly believers. Those that realize what life really means, and those the choose this life as the means! This life is just a vapor; a puff of smoke that is soon carried away by the wind!
By the way, I have some truth to say about all these sever weather conditions: It is not climate change that is bringing all the wind, fire, snow, and hail; it is because The King is Coming to take us home! This is not our home, and this earth has seen nothing yet...
"But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. For the Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long-suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works thereof shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with a fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness." (2 Peter 3:8-13 KJV)
