"We take literally and truly believe that, "the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternally life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” We believe in death because the Bible has much to say about it (1 Cor. 15:21-22).
*The first death, suffered by all (Heb. 9:27), has no ultimate significance, because of the resurrection of the dead.
*But the second death is the fate of all who reject the salvation.webp)
provided by Jesus Christ; that death means annihilation, because from it there is no resurrection. Hence, we are led most fully to exalt Christ as the only hope of life. We take literally His words: “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10. We believe that 1ife and immortality were brought to light through the gospel of our Lord, and in no other way.
Since Christ is the ultimate judge of everyone—Scripture tells us that the Father has committed judgment to Christ (2 Tim. 4:1; John 5:22; Acts 10:42).

Q: what would we think of Christ as the judge of the whole world if every unsaved person regardless how they lived their lives, was condemned to be tortured eternally in Hell?
--The doctrine that death is real, and the unsaved will really die and not be tortured forever, greatly glorifies Jesus Christ in His role as judge of the universe!"
