The Bible Teaches

[Pastor Dr. Michael M Sherrod]

The Bible teaches that there are only two classes of people in the world : the living and the dead . You might think is an obvious statement , but according to God’s Word , not all of the living are alive and not all of the dead are really dead .Let me explain . Those living lives without Christ are spiritually dead . Jesus said , ‘’ ‘ He who has the Son has life : he who does not have the Son of God does not have life ‘’ ( John 5:12 ) . On another occasion , He said , ‘’ Let the dead bury their own dead , but you go and preach the kingdom of God ‘ ‘’ ( Luke9:60 ) . Practically speaking , this means that all those who have not had their sins forgiven are living under the death penalty . Yet when they accept Christ’s forgiveness , they pass from death to life . ‘’You He made alive , who were dead in trespasses and sins ‘’ ( Ephesians 2:1 ) .
