Coming up next on Renewing Your Mind.

What the Scripture means about somebody dying in their sins is that it describes that person

who up until the very last moment of their lives until they pass over the line they refuse.

They absolutely refuse to submit to their Creator.

That's a tragic reality for so many.

We all know that death is coming, but the majority of people refuse to acknowledge that judgment is coming as well.

Refusing to believe it though doesn't remove the fact that we either die in our sin or in faith.

Do you know which will be true of you?

Here's our C-sproul.

It's a cliche in our culture and in our language that there are two things that we cannot avoid and they are death and taxes.

But I think all of us know certain people who have been clever enough or astute enough or crooked enough to avoid or evade taxes.

But none of us has been able to find a method yet to evade death.

That's one thing that we understand as adults that we are going to die if the Lord carries.

And so the question is not if we shall die.

And at this point I'm not even going to address the question why we will die. We've already looked at that a little bit.

But the two questions I think that haunt all of us are these two.

The questions when and how.

But I notice when I read the scriptures that when the scriptures talk about the how question of death.

It's not so much concerned about whether or not I will die through a heart attack or buy an accident or throw gunshot wound or buy cancer or some other disease.

But rather what the scriptures are most interested in in terms of the how question of our death is what will the state of our souls be when we pass from this plan.

I remember the last words that my mother ever spoke in this world is one of those erotic things that my mother happened to die.

The day that my son was born early in the morning of that day our son was born and I picked my mother up from her job and we went to the hospital and I showed her this new born grandson of hers and she was thrilled beyond words and I brought her back to her apartment.
