God Did Not Make Death (Wisdom 1:5)
“Do not court death by your erring way of life, nor draw to yourselves destruction by the works
of your hands.
Because God did not make death, nor does He rejoice in the destruction of the living.
For He fashioned all things that they might have being, and the creatures of the world are wholesome;”
(Wisdom 1:5).
Father God is the creator of life.
Death entered the world through the devil.
He tempted us to sin and the consequence of sin is death.
When man accepted the devil’s temptations and lustful thoughts and sinned,
death which is his spirit, came on us.
God the Creator and the Giver of life cannot be in the same time the destructor
and the killer.
God can not be the thing and its opposite.
If death was God’s work and will towards man, He would not have sent His Son, Jesus Christ,
to do the opposite of His will, raising the dead, and healing all diseases that lead to death.
In the Gospel of John, chapter eight, Jesus said that the devil is the enemy of man not God,
he is the one who came to destroy and kill.
Let us read it together,
“From the beginning, the devil was a murderer.
He has never obeyed the truth.
When he lies, he speaks his natural language.
He does this because he is a liar.
He is the father of lies”
(John 8:44).
What was written in the Old was that God loves His people and He will save them.
God did fulfill the promise of salvation in His Son Jesus Christ.
God had sent His only begotten Son to save mankind from the sting and the power of death
(i.e. sin) which entered to the life of man.
St. Paul said in the epistle to the Romans, chapter five,
“Sin entered the world because one man sinned.
And death came because of sin.
Everyone sinned, so death came to all people”
( Romans 5:12).
Jesus came to change the sinful nature of man by giving Himself to us,
His holy and eternal life, in the Holy Spirit.
On the cross He confronted sin and death and defeated them in His body which is our body.
He was resurrected and gave His resurrection, that is to say, His overcoming power over death,
to all who believe in Him, accept Him as Lord and Savior, and receive His power
over the grip of sin in the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
