Our Saviour Christ Jesus … abolished death (2Ti 1:10). Men still die, it is appointed unto men (Heb 9:27), but the fear of death as having power to terminate or affect our personal existence and our union with God, as a dreadful stepping out into the unknown and unknowable (into Sheol of the impenetrable gloom), and as introducing us to a final and irreversible judgment, has been removed. Christ has taken out of it its sting (1Co 15:55) and all its hurtful power (Heb 2:14); has shown it to be under His control (Rev 1:18), brought to light the incorruptible life beyond, and declared the ultimate destruction of death (1Co 15:26; compare Rev 20:14). The Greek (, katargetai) indicates that the process of destruction was then going on.<\/p>\n
