Immortality - Reasons to Have Faith in it (Part 2)
The word of God plainly teaches that immortality is a
fact (Daniel 12:3; John 14:1-3; et.al). Max Muller wrote correctly, “Without a belief in a personal immortality, religion
surely is like an arch resting on one pillar, like a bridge ending
in an abyss.” Today, we will look at why we can confirm our
faith in immortality.
The first reason is that the love of God desires it. Our
