SIN, DEATH AND BEYOND: M.M.NINAN
D
PHYSICAL DEATH
"THEN THE DUST WILL RETURN TO THE EARTH AS IT WAS,
AND THE SPIRIT WILL RETURN TO GOD WHO GAVE IT."
Eccl. 12:7,
This defines the Physical death of Man
“return,” ‏ׁשּוב in Hebrew, meaning to turn back.
Psalms 104:29-30 "If you take away their spirit, they expire, and back to their dust they go. If
you send forth your spirit, they are created."
When Stephen was about to die he did not ask for the grave to receive him, but said, "Lord
Jesus receive my spirit!"Acts 7:59.
.John 19:30 "So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing
His head, He gave up His spirit".
This clearly says that the Spirit of Man will return to God who gave it as breath of life to Man.
The body which was made from dust returns to earth. But the Spirit can always give life back if
some form of body - material or immaterial - is given back. Every form of life has a covering of
flesh. Only the substance can be different.
