[David1701]

John 15:12-17 (MKJV)

12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
  13 No one has greater love than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
  14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.
  15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master does. But I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.
  16 You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and ordained you that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it to you.
  17 These things I command you, that you love one another. 

[Mama Etna]

And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, Luke 1: 76-78

(Hebrews 2:10)  For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering.
(Hebrews 2:11)  For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one source. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers,
(Hebrews 2:12)  saying, “I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.”
(Hebrews 2:13)  And again, “I will put my trust in him.” And again, “Behold, I and the children God has given me.”
(Hebrews 2:14)  Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil,
(Hebrews 2:15)  and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.  [ESV]

(Hebrews 2:16)  For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham.
(Hebrews 2:17)  Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.
(Hebrews 2:18)  For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.  [ESV]

Hello SObG, 

I am wondering why he does not say more about the Grace of God in Jesus Christ in the way Paul talks about that includes the forgiveness of sins freely without bringing any gifts to God or making any promises to him of any kind which results in being in the righteousness of God because Jesus Christ is in the righteousness of God.

He did say that those in Jesus Christ are free from the fear of death. 

Does that have anything to do with the physical death?

People being afraid to die because of many and various reasons. 

Or he wants to emphasize that the believers in Jesus Christ are in their own righteousness and at the same time are also clothed in the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ.

A believer in Jesus Christ standing in his own righteousness he may have something to fear looking forwards to that time, but if he has come to understand that he also stands in the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ that should take away the fear at the time of death.

And the fear that death can come to him because he stands in the righteousness of Jesus Christ.  

In other word death can only come to him as long as he stands in faith in Jesus Christ.

The only way death can come to him is if death can come first to Jesus Christ and then he is caught in the domino effect. 

Which can never happen.

Hi.  This book may or may not be written by Paul.  At the very least, it's probably written by a fellow traveler with Paul, imho.  So Paul's other writings are being copied and passed from church to church.  One book might not contain all his thoughts.

If you know where you are going after death, that you who are in Christ Jesus, will reign with Him after death.  I don't see an easy transition to physical death here.

The Christians who died in the Colosseum, probably took comfort knowing they'd be with Jesus after they shed this mortal clothing.

I'm not sure what you mean here.  Jesus taught to be faithful to the end.

I cannot understand what you want to say with that statement after the statement you made just before this statement.

I understand that we believe now and tomorrow but the most important moment is to be found in the faith of Jesus Christ with our last breath. 

The other comment I made it was to saw that as Jesus Christ is position so are we.

He is righteous and so is for us, because we are in his righteousness. 

God bless 

[B-B]

12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 

13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

14 Do all things without complaining and disputing,

15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 

16 holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.

Philippians 2:12-16

[other one]

Most Christians tell me I have to fear the Lord.....    The Lord that sat aside being God to come here as a man and die for me so I could interface with the Father and be with them for eternity....   How can I fear him...     What does that mean.

 

Quote

Prov 8:13
13  The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil.
 Pride and arrogance and the way of evil
and perverted speech I hate.
