THE SECOND DEATH
How remarkable it is that the Word of God as applied by the Author, the Holy Spirit, is able to confirm every line of truth and that with superlative simplicity.
In my "devotional time" this morning, one of my readings was found in the precious book of The Revelation. The very first verse of the book declares it to be nothing less than "Revelation of Jesus Christ!" My meditation was upon chapter 20 verses 7-15.
Immediately I was gripped again by a simple statement in the Word, that destroyed in a moment one of the most heinous fabrications of the mind of men.
"This is the second death!" Physical death cannot be the cessation of being, however much men would have it to be so. If we peddle this devilish delusion we deny the veracity of the Scriptures and make out God to be a liar!
Oh, for the simplicity which is in Christ, and for hearts quickly instructed by the imperishable Word of God.
