The Visions- Chapter 1: Life and Death
LIFE
There
is only one source of Life- an Infinite and Almighty Life, whose
creative power gave life to all living things. All creatures live in Him
and in Him will they remain forever. Again this Life created
innumerable other lives, different in kind, and in the stages of their
progress man is one of these, created in God's own image that he might
ever remain happy in His holy presence.
DEATH
This life may
change but it can never be destroyed, and though the change from one
form of existence into another is called Death, this never means that
death finally ends life, or even that it adds to life, or takes away
from it. It merely transfers the life from one form of existence to
another. A thing that disappears from our sight has not thereby ceased
to exist. It reappears, but in another form and state.
MAN CAN
NEVER BE DESTROYED
Nothing in this whole universe was ever destroyed,
nor can it ever be, because the Creator has never created anything for
destruction. If He had wished to destroy it, He would never have created
it. And if nothing in creation can be destroyed, then how can man be
destroyed, who is the crown of creation, and the image of his Creator?
Can God Himself destroy His own image, or can any other creature do it?
Never! If a man is not destroyed at death then at once the question
arises, where will man exist after death, and in what state?
