“What man can live and never see death? Who can deliver his soul from the power of Sheol?”
“His soul draws near the pit, and his life to those who bring death. If there be for him an angel, a mediator, one of the thousand, to declare to man what is right for him, and he is merciful to him, and says, ‘Deliver him from going down into the pit; I have found a ransom;”
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.”
“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.”
Psalms 49:15 But God will ransom my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me.
Psalms 31:5 Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O LORD, faithful God.
Psalms 56:13 For you have delivered my soul from death, yes, my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.
Hosea 13:14 I shall ransom them from the power of Sheol; I shall redeem them from Death.
Revelation 14:13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!”
Psalms 16:10 For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption.
Psalms 86:13 For great is your steadfast love toward me; you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.
It is clear that those who are redeemed by his might, mercy, and grace will not see the death reserved for all mankind – Sheol(Hell). The question is asked – “What man can live and never see death? Who can deliver his soul from the power of Sheol?” No man can live and not see death. This is our end. But the question more important is who can deliver us from hell? What are the requirements for this deliverance? That too is clear. Believe in the redemption in and through Christ. Too many stop at this and say I believe but there is no deliverance in the way they live other than going to church once per week. They are consumed by the things this world has to offer and so easily lose sight of humbly serving, honoring, glorifying, following, and obeying God each day. Little time is spent in His word, meditating on it, or listening to Him speak through His word into their heart, mind, and soul. Ask yourself how much do you want God into your daily life. if the answer is more – then commit to spend more time in His word and living each day as He directs.
