In order for us to appropriate the truly miraculous we must believe that it has already been provided 2Pe 1:3.<p>Death is cessation of life. Those InChrist will never know what cessation of life is. When their body stops functioning they will immediately, without interrupt be alive in the presence of Christ Jesus 2Co 5:8.<p>Contrast this with the state of all those not InChrist Jesus.  They live in fear of death and so are in bondage to it all their lives Heb 2:15.
