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 Revelation 6:10 .

(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 1 Corinthians 15:52 ; 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 Philippians 3:21 ; 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 .

As to the death of Christ, (See Scofield "Matthew 27:50") .

9:28  So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
