Death is the last of all enemies to be faced, and for us in this gospel age, it is the final enemy to utterly defeat. The sting of death has already been conquered by Jesus through his death and resurrection. But it is a mercy from God that we don't enter into the Christian life and first have to face death.

00:00:00.000 In less than a year, our podcast has gone from an average of 10,000 downloads a month
00:00:04.300 to 50,000 downloads. What made the difference? You leaving us a five-star review. The more
00:00:10.260 positive reviews, the more the algorithm picks us up, and more people are confronted by the law
00:00:16.360 and gospel of Jesus Christ. Help us press forward the crown rights of King Jesus by leaving us a
00:00:23.480 five-star review on your favorite podcast platform. Thanks. One practical example, the example
00:00:30.780 for the New Testament Christian today of facing our biggest giants last would be death. 0.98
00:00:40.920 Death. If no other enemy, then certainly the enemy of death. That Jesus, the better and 0.98
00:00:52.180 ultimate Joshua. Joshua is the type of Christ. Jesus, Yeshua, he is the one who faces even death
00:00:58.540 last. It is his final enemy to utterly defeat. The sting of death, for the record, has already been
00:01:04.760 conquered. Jesus defeated the sting of death through his death and resurrection. But death in every
00:01:13.380 sense, literal death, will be finally and utterly defeated by Christ upon his return. But it is, as
00:01:21.180 first corinthians 15 says the last of his enemies to be defeated and for us in this gospel age
00:01:29.760 is the last of all enemies to be faced
00:01:32.320 that we will have many temptations and trials and tribulations challenges and difficulties
00:01:40.800 progressively throughout the course of our christian lives in the process of sanctification
00:01:45.960 leading up to the final trial, which is death.
00:01:52.440 And even that is a mercy from the Lord. 1.00
00:01:55.340 It is a mercy that we don't enter into the Christian life 0.96
00:01:58.560 and first have to face death.
00:02:03.000 But that many of us, not all,
00:02:04.860 there are some who die as new believers.
00:02:08.140 Some who have deathbed conversions.
00:02:10.540 Although I would caution you,
00:02:12.300 they are few and far between.
00:02:13.700 A person who has chosen to harden their heart throughout the entirety of their life
00:02:19.000 is highly unlikely to soften their heart at the end.
00:02:24.160 Do not put the Lord your God to the test,
00:02:27.380 thinking that I may have time to repent later.
00:02:31.040 But because God is merciful, although few and far between,
00:02:34.500 there are, in fact, some deathbed conversions.
00:02:37.680 And in those cases, this newly born-again Christian
00:02:40.960 is facing death as one of his first trials, but ordinarily, more often than not, for the Christian,
00:02:49.320 we are given in God's kindness. Again, it is a kindness of the Lord, but in his kindness, we are
00:02:55.320 given several years, if not even decades, of growing in spiritual maturity and sanctification
00:03:02.020 as we walk with Christ, led by the Spirit, trusting the Word before we have to endure death.
00:03:09.420 this would be just one practical example in the life of a new testament christian
00:03:14.960 that follows in the concept the principle of what we see with israel and the anarchy the very giants
00:03:22.100 that they feared at first 38 years prior turn out to be in the final analysis the last enemy that
00:03:30.640 they actually have to face and if only they had trusted the lord from the beginning then that
00:03:37.620 generation that died out in the wilderness would have been able to inherit the promised land.
00:03:44.400 The takeaway for us, our first main point, the takeaway for us is trust the Lord.
00:03:51.660 Trust that he will not bring us up against any challenge, any trial, any tribulation,
00:03:57.760 any temptation that he is not able to deliver us from. He can.
00:04:07.620 We'll be right back.
