5. Since the children are made of flesh and blood, it's logical that the Savior took on flesh and blood in order to rescue them by his death. By embracing death, taking it into himself, he destroyed the Devil's hold on death and freed all who cower through life, scared to death of death. Hebrews 2:14-15 (MSG)

6. And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. Revelation 12:10-11 (ESV)

7. But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 1 Corinthians 15:20-26 (ESV)

8. For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling, if indeed by putting it on we may not be found naked. For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened--not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. 2 Corinthians 5:1-5 (ESV)

9. Many who don’t know God and assume that people are basically good wonder, “How can a loving God send people to hell?” …Once we see how sinful we are and how perfectly holy God is, we will wonder, “How can a holy God allow sinful people into heaven?” - “The Purple Book” p. 119

10. For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace? For we know him who said, "Vengeance is mine; I will repay." And again, "The Lord will judge his people." It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Hebrews 10:26-31 (ESV)

11. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ (2 Cor. 5:10) Name written in the book of life (Rev. 20:12) If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. (1 Cor. 3:14) If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire. (1 Cor. 3:15) Name not written in the book of life (Rev. 20:12) And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. (Rev. 20:15) Faith Works

13.  Are you afraid of death? How can you embrace Jesus’ death so you don’t have to be afraid?  How do you embrace life in light of the resurrection? Where do you see the Holy Spirit bringing life to dead places?  How do you think it will it go for you when you stand before Christ? What would make you change the way you look forward to that day?
