One of the 28
Fundamental Beliefs
00:00:07.34\00:00:09.68
of the Seventh Day
Adventist Church is
00:00:09.71\00:00:11.39
death and resurrection.
00:00:11.42\00:00:13.89
The wages of sin is death,
but God alone who is immortal
00:00:13.92\00:00:17.95
will grant eternal
life to His redeemed.
00:00:17.98\00:00:20.90
Until that day, death
is an unconscious state
00:00:20.93\00:00:24.16
for all in the grave.
00:00:24.19\00:00:26.33
When Christ who is our
life appears, the resurrected
00:00:26.36\00:00:30.96
righteous and the living
righteous will be glorified
00:00:30.99\00:00:34.07
and caught up
to meet their Lord.
00:00:34.10\00:00:36.46
Those who accept Jesus
and the salvation He brings
00:00:36.49\00:00:40.54
will experience an indescribable
joy at His climatic return,
00:00:40.57\00:00:45.71
in never fading happiness
they will spend eternity
00:00:45.74\00:00:49.20
fellowshipping with
their Lord and Savior.
00:00:49.23\00:00:51.90
The second resurrection,
the resurrection of the
00:00:51.93\00:00:55.38
unrighteous will take
place a thousand years later.
00:00:55.41\00:00:58.79
In God's work we find a
special promise in Romans 6:23:
00:00:58.82\00:01:04.52
For the wages of sin is
death, but the gift of God is
00:01:04.55\00:01:08.75
eternal life in
Christ Jesus our Lord.
