| 0:00.0 | I'm I'm As Christians, we're called to stand out from the surrounding culture and how we live our lives. |
| 0:32.2 | Today on Truth for Life, Alastair Begg explains why we should be just as radically different from the world in our dying |
| 0:39.0 | as we are in our living. Let's find out why and how that's possible. |
| 0:50.4 | Now can I invite you to turn with me again to Genesis. |
| 1:00.7 | And anywhere between 46 and 50 is a fine place to be. |
| 1:05.5 | We're moving around as we cover this matter. |
| 1:10.4 | And before we turn to the scriptures, let's pause again in a moment of prayer. |
| 1:18.4 | Speak, O God, we pray to our waiting hearts, and where there is no sense of waiting, |

| 1:31.7 | Come to our expectant souls and minister your grace and where there is no expectancy. Forge it in us, we ask, |

| 2:14.3 | rigors that would be represented in the consideration of this most vital of subjects. |
| 2:20.9 | And yet I put it to you that here in this matter of death, and indeed the issue of victory over |
| 2:26.9 | death, is at least for the Christian, our greatest expression of Thanksgiving. |
| 2:32.2 | Indeed, when Paul in writing 1 Corinthians 15 reaches the conclusion of |
| 2:36.7 | his great chapter on the resurrection, he reaches a high note by exclaiming, but thanks be to God, |
| 2:43.7 | he gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. In other words, the Christian perspective on death is radically different from anything |
| 2:54.7 | that the world is able to offer. And indeed, men and women today are largely threatened by the |
| 3:01.5 | whole prospect of life's demise. When we recognize the fact that the world that we have invested so much in is about |
