(See Scofield "Romans 3:23"). die Death, physical, Summary:- (1) Physical death is a consequence of sin Genesis 3:19 and the universality of death proves the universality of sin Romans 5:12-14.
- (2) Physical death affects the body only, and is neither cessation of life nor of consciousness (See Scofield "Habakkuk 2:5"). See Scofield "Luke 16:23". Revelation 6:9,10.
- (3) All physical death ends in the resurrection of the body. See "Resurrection" Job 19:25. (See Scofield "1 Corinthians 15:52").
- (4) Because physical death is a consequence of sin, it is not inevitable to the redeemed Genesis 5:24; 1 Corinthians 15:51,52; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17.
- (5) Physical death has for the believer a peculiar qualification. It is called "sleep," because his body may be "awakened" at any moment Philippians 3:20,21; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18.
- (6) The soul and spirit live, independently of the death of the body, which is described as a "tabernacle" (tent), in which the "I" dwells, and which may be put off 2 Corinthians 5:1-8; 1 Corinthians 15:42-44; 2 Peter 1:13-15.
- (7) At the believer's death he is "clothed upon" with a "house from heaven" pending the resurrection of the "earthly house," and is at once "with the Lord." 2 Corinthians 5:1-8; Philippians 1:23; Luke 23:43.
