Bible Verse of The Day – 2-25-22

Romans 6:8-9 (NKJV) 8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.

There is a wealth of information for us to learn from here in these verses, especially regarding death, which we will all eventually face.

This is also very helpful when dealing with the loss of a loved one who was a believer. It helps us to better understand everything that we’re trying to process in our heads when dealing with that loss.

First, if we are a believer, then we have already “died with Christ”. Being born again infers that we have died and have been resurrected, a new creation in Christ.

Also, because we are believers, when our physical bodies die, we trust that we will live eternally in the presence of Christ.

Death no longer has dominion (power, dominance, control, mastery, authority) over us.

Death has been dealt a final blow by the resurrection of Christ, and we reap the benefits of that!

Not only did Jesus give the devil a black eye, but He broke his neck, removing his power, once and for all.

So, when we are mourning or struggling with the loss of someone we love, it’s good for us to remember this.

This doesn’t mean we will no longer be sad, or that we will not miss that person.

But it should give us hope and comfort to know and understand that the one we have lost is still alive in His presence. They are, in fact, more alive than they ever were here on earth.

We just have to let God give us understanding in this area as He comforts us in times of sorrow.

If you have recently lost someone, or you’re struggling with a loss that was maybe not so recent, we hope this will help you find comfort and some peace of mind.
