Death doesn't sanctify you

I keep hearing people say that when someone dies, even if they legitimately mistreated others their whole life, we are, by no means, supposed to admit their wrongdoing. I've heard it before, but what reminded me of it is this self-righteous outrage over Pres. ### admitting he wasn't a fan of ###. But what is left out here is ### was just as much actively knocking and working against him as vice versa. PLUS, something else came out on ###'s vendetta against ###, recently. And all he said was he wasn't a fan of his, a factual statement. But I've been hearing this stuff about the dead for "ages." That if you admit someone who died was not the saintly person everyone is making them out to be, you're automatically wrong. But let me ask you this--when ### died, the Jews were supposed to say he was "wonderful" just because he died? If the head of the Ku Klux Klan dies, a black person who's family got lynched by them should say, because he died that "erases" everything? When ### died, should some who had family members killed by his orders say he was a beautiful person just because he died? At the Great White Throne Judgement, John says, "And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before the Throne. And books were opened. And another was opened, it was the Book of Life. And everyone was judged according to their works. And whosoever was not found written in the book was cast into the lake." Now these are dead people--if death sanctifies us, and death by itself makes us perfect, why do the unsaved dead go to Hell? Death didn't sanctify THEM, did it? So just because someone dies, doesn't mean they lived a spotless life. Where did this get started, sanctification by death?

Death is the door to enter heaven, but for many it will be the door to enter into an eternal punishment. Let us all fast and pray for all our unsaved loved ones, friends, coworkers, former classmates and teachers, professors and everyone else we know. We want all of them in heaven. No one will be sanctified by death. Jesus alone sanctify us through the Blood of the Lamb. Keep your eyes on Jesus. Fast and pray for all unsaved leaders of our country. They too, someday will be facing the Lord and give an account of what they have done here on earth.

Sanctification by death is referring to the death of the flesh, which is followed by becoming a new creature in Christ. To enter into the gates of heaven one must be born again. The only way to be born again is through spiritual death. The law of the Spirit of life sets you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. Death, as it relates to the subject of Sanctification, refers to setting the mind on the flesh. To receive eternal life we must set the mind on the Spirit. There are two ways of transitioning from this world: 1. a body living in sin that dies in the (flesh), or one that lives according to God's will and dies in the Spirit. Those who die in sin will be judged as they have lived, according to their deeds.

 

[Corinnah]

Be ye holy, for I am holy.... says the Lord. So, let the flesh, the world and all the riches of the world die in us and we shall have eternal life in heaven.
