  Speaker 1: Welcome back to Challenges of Faith radio program. I'm Gary McKintz.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Thank you for joining. Thank you for joining. I'd like
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: to acknowledge God and you, our listener, here on episode 3432.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: You know, there are some researchers that say that aging,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: you know, getting older, may be a curable disease that.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Can resolve the matter of death. Yes, isn't that interesting?
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Even if this was possible, which it isn't, aging, it's
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: not even funny, isn't the only cause of death. Death
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: occurs on the highway, the freeway, in war, by falling down,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: in the birth process, by murder or illness, to mention
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: just a few. Death has been called the king of terrors,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: irrespective of age or your circumstance. America's Silicon Valley is
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: considered one of the greatest scientific epic centers in the world,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: yet all the scientific brainpower and technological advances, guess what,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: cannot solve the reality and frightenedness of death. You know
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: what the word lets you and I know? You know
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the Bible. It lets us know that God has given humans,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: you know, that's you and I, unless you are super
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: intelligence or an AI, but he's given us a general
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: life expectancy of 70 years of age, or by reason
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: of strength, 80 years.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: You've been blessed to live that long and longer.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: And you can see it over in Psalm chapter 90
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: verse 10. So if you live beyond these markers, especially
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: in reasonably good health, God has extended your days with blessing.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: You know, there are many human physicians, you know, doctors
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: agree that little has been done to advance life to
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: any significant degree. And even though the scientific age continues
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: to grow and people gain more knowledge, Guess what else happens?
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Skepticism.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: It grows as the world questions the biblical and historical
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: account of Jesus' resurrection.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: There are a.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Lot of people that may ask if Jesus was really resurrected,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: so how does this impact.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: You, you, you, or me?
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Well, for those who believe in Christ as Savior and Lord,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: we know, we don't need to guess, we know that
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: scientists cannot solve the problem of death because guess who?
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ conquered death And he gives the same promise
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: to those who trust him. The question is, do you
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: trust him? And not only trust him, but do you
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: live in obedience to him? If you write it down,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I know you will. Over in 1 Corinthians 15, verse 54,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: it tells us that death is swallowed up in victory.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: So you see, I know you do.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: It's not eliminating death that should be gone after, but
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: rather eliminating.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: The fear of death. And that's because of the hope
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: that's found in Jesus Christ. And only, only in Christ.
