And just as it is appointed for man to die once...”
(Hebrews 9:27)

Death is inevitable. Everyone has to face it. God's Word tells us death was the penalty for our sin. But death is not the end.

The rest of Hebrews 9:27 states, "and after that comes judgment." And that's such a sad statement for those who have rejected God and the free gift of salvation.

Recently, ardent atheist Daniel Dennett had to face what we all will have to face--death. His obituary was in news papers (like the excerpts of the one attached from the UK Telegraph) around the world. For Daniel Dennett he believed death was the end, that he would cease to exist. But that is simply not true. Our bodies (the tent we live in as God through the apostle Paul describes) dies but our soul does not. We live on for eternity either with Christ or without Him in Heaven or Hell. That's the bottom line.

Daniel Dennet proclaimed that life had no intrinsic meaning. He was a typical materialist trying to grasp the mind. He insisted, based on his Darwinian worldview, that consciousness must be based on the material and our thoughts/minds are actually an illusion. He was steadfast on his atheism—like Dawkins, Harris, Hitchens and others. Being a materialist, he commented on a lot of immaterial things, mind, knowledge, conclusions, etc. This shows (sadly) his blinded inconsistency. Belief in a material universe does not explain the immaterial like the laws of logic, laws of chemistry, laws of mathematics and so on.

Let this remind everyone that death and subsequent judgment are inevitable. But:

“if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)

““For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)

Atheists leave such a sad legacy of meaninglessness purposelessness, and of no hope.

What a different legacy Christians leave:

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead" (1 Peter 1:3).
