Summary

In this Holy Appetizer, Josh discusses the topic of death and its origins. He explains that death is a separation, specifically the separation of the spirit and soul from the body. He traces the source of death back to Adam and Eve, emphasizing that death entered the world through their disobedience and rebellion, their sin. This sin brought about the wages of sin which is death, as stated in Romans 6:23. He further explains that there are different kinds of death, including physical death, spiritual death, and eternal death, each with its unique consequences.

On the other hand, Josh introduces the concept of ultimate life, which is attributed to the Lord Jesus Christ. When one puts their faith in Jesus Christ, they receive the gift of eternal life. This life is not only for the future but also for the present, as it offers restored relationship with God and the hope of a resurrected body. He concludes by summarizing the key points, stating that death comes from sin, brought into the world by Adam, and ultimate life comes from Jesus Christ, who provides eternal life to those who believe in Him.

Key Points

Death comes from "rebellion and disobedience" (sin against God) as a consequence of Adam's actions in the Garden of Eden.

Death is a "separation" of the spirit and soul from the body.

There are different kinds of death, including:

               - Physical death (separation of spirit and soul from the body)

               - Spiritual death (separation of spirit and soul from God)

The "wages of sin" is death, as stated in Romans 6:23.

However, through "faith in Jesus Christ", one can have "eternal life" and be "quickened" (given new spiritual life).

Jesus Christ provides access to the Father and offers a way to be "resurrected" with a new, glorified body.
