If I go my way and not God's, it stands to reason that I shall separate myself from Him. That is why God often seems so remote and unreal. Further details can be found on the Gospel page. Christ died to bring us to God, so that we may know God personally and enjoy His love forever. Secondly, there is physical death , when the soul is separated from the body, and the person is separated from family and friends.
Death ruthlessly breaks the deepest bonds of love.
It is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. There is scarcely any resemblance between a small seed sown in the ground and the lovely flower developing from it. Out of death springs a much more glorious life. So it is with our spiritual body.
