Death is presented to a man (everyman) and all of mans friends run, escape, protect themselves. The lesson learned if fairly obvious in my mind. When someone is dying, no pleading or begging or cajoling will stop death and death will not be announced. But that is not the true lesson. The lesson is much more heart retching then that. It is an understanding that you cannot take people or things with you. People and things cannot help you. Your life is an open book to God and He already knows where you are going. â€Å"I’m an open book to you; even from a distance, you know what I’m thinking. You know when I leave and when I get back; I’m never out of your sight.†Psalm 139 beginning We are told that He will separate the believers from the†¦show more content†¦Romans 10:9 But does this mean you now can go about your sinful life living as you previously have done and ignore the commitment you made. No! We are all sinners and when we accept Jesus into our hearts we commit to following our new body (the Holy Spirit) instead of our old sinful body. Paul says every day every moment, was a battle for him between his old self and his new self. Romans 8:13 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. 2 Peter 1:1010 Therefore, my brothers and sisters,[a] make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, His old self was how he sinfully acted and lived before following God, and his new self is the e Holy Spirit living inside of him to guide him as he follows the Lord. They fought because we are naturally sinful and with the Holy Spirit inside him he was trying to please two masters but you cannot do that. â€Å"24 â€Å"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.† Matthew 6:24 Following God means to fellowship with Him, Read what He has written in His Word, follow His guidance, listen for what His will is in your life, and talk with Him. .How can we expect to know God if we don’t fellowship (spend time with him every day?
