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 In less than a year, our podcast has gone from an average of 10,000 downloads a month
00:00:04 to 50,000 downloads. What made the difference? You leaving us a five-star review. The more
00:00:10 positive reviews, the more the algorithm picks us up, and more people are confronted by the law
00:00:16 and gospel of Jesus Christ. Help us press forward the crown rights of King Jesus by leaving us a
00:00:23 five-star review on your favorite podcast platform. Thanks. One practical example, the example
00:00:30 for the New Testament Christian today of facing our biggest giants last would be death. 0.98
00:00:40 Death. If no other enemy, then certainly the enemy of death. That Jesus, the better and 0.98
00:00:52 ultimate Joshua. Joshua is the type of Christ. Jesus, Yeshua, he is the one who faces even death
00:00:58 last. It is his final enemy to utterly defeat. The sting of death, for the record, has already been
00:01:04 conquered. Jesus defeated the sting of death through his death and resurrection. But death in every
00:01:13 sense, literal death, will be finally and utterly defeated by Christ upon his return. But it is, as
00:01:21 first corinthians 15 says the last of his enemies to be defeated and for us in this gospel age
00:01:29 is the last of all enemies to be faced
00:01:32 that we will have many temptations and trials and tribulations challenges and difficulties
00:01:40 progressively throughout the course of our christian lives in the process of sanctification
00:01:45 leading up to the final trial, which is death.
00:01:52 And even that is a mercy from the Lord. 1.00
00:01:55 It is a mercy that we don't enter into the Christian life 0.96
00:01:58 and first have to face death.
00:02:03 But that many of us, not all,
00:02:04 there are some who die as new believers.
00:02:08 Some who have deathbed conversions.
00:02:10 Although I would caution you,
00:02:12 they are few and far between.
00:02:13 A person who has chosen to harden their heart throughout the entirety of their life
00:02:19 is highly unlikely to soften their heart at the end.
00:02:24 Do not put the Lord your God to the test,
00:02:27 thinking that I may have time to repent later.
00:02:31 But because God is merciful, although few and far between,
00:02:34 there are, in fact, some deathbed conversions.
00:02:37 And in those cases, this newly born-again Christian
00:02:40 is facing death as one of his first trials, but ordinarily, more often than not, for the Christian,
00:02:49 we are given in God's kindness. Again, it is a kindness of the Lord, but in his kindness, we are
00:02:55 given several years, if not even decades, of growing in spiritual maturity and sanctification
00:03:02 as we walk with Christ, led by the Spirit, trusting the Word before we have to endure death.
00:03:09 this would be just one practical example in the life of a new testament christian
00:03:14 that follows in the concept the principle of what we see with israel and the anarchy the very giants
00:03:22 that they feared at first 38 years prior turn out to be in the final analysis the last enemy that
00:03:30 they actually have to face and if only they had trusted the lord from the beginning then that
00:03:37 generation that died out in the wilderness would have been able to inherit the promised land.
00:03:44 The takeaway for us, our first main point, the takeaway for us is trust the Lord.
00:03:51 Trust that he will not bring us up against any challenge, any trial, any tribulation,
00:03:57 any temptation that he is not able to deliver us from. He can.
00:04:07 We'll be right back.
