1- We are all going to die whether we believe it or not.
2- We have to get rid or our sins. To die with them will put us in the Lake of Fire for eternity.
3- The most holy will is Grace. The God given ability and Desire to do His Will. When we obey what is written in Acts 2:38, we get rid of our sin nature and will lead an overcoming life, then we will not have any part of the second death which comes after the Judgement. Those not in obedience to Jesus Christ will be cast into the Lake of Fire (the second death), and the overcomers will enter into Heaven.

No one can escape death of the body, not even a Christian, But a Christian can escaped the death of the soul, while a sinner can not, 2: Anyone tht dies in their sins will be sent to hell to await their judgement day. 3: anyone that is born again is those that will be in the 1st ressurection, Because those that die in Christ will come forth in the 1st ressurrection, The second resurrection is for all wicked sinners. Rev.20:6 I hope this helps you, By the way, keep the 10 points, I am not here for points. Only trying to help someone.

These lines are the closing lines of the "Canticle of the Creatures" by Saint Francis of Assisi in about April, May or June 1225.
Francis calls all kinds of things our brothers and sisters in the Canticle including the brother sun, sister moon and stars, brother wind, sister water, brother fire, and sister Mother Earth.
The he calls bodily death our sister. This is praising the fact that all have to die to live in eternal life.
Those who die in the state of mortal sin go to hell which is the second death and therefore they are full of woe.
Those who die in the state of grace (are walking in God's will) will go to heaven.

The lines are from "The Canticle of the Sun or The Song of Brother Son And of All Creatures" by Francis of Assisi".
The "Sister Death" stanza, which Assisi wrote for the "Canticle" while on his deathbed, provides several symbols and themes that are bastions of Quentin's fatalism in Faulkner's novel. Quentin makes the image of his sister Caddy into that of Death: he associates her with his own suicide, especially in his account of his blundering, naive, and sexually-charged attempt at killing her and then turning the knife on himself. Ironically, if Caddy is "the death of the body," it is not her body that will die, for she remains a symbol of fertility in the otherwise sterile Compson family. It is her sexuality, and Quentin's envy of it, that prompts him to invent the lie of their incest, which is the great but imaginary sin that Quentin's death will atone for, in his own quest for matyrdom. He finds sympathy for his pain in the canticle, which cries: "Woe to him that dieth in mortal sin!" And, paradoxically, he believes his suffering will be erased by truthfulness to his father about his invented incest. Thus, the "second death," the Judgment of Revelation 20:13, cannot harm him and neither can his suicide. He is both damned to woe but raised to blessedness. Furthermore, he recalls (or imagines) his father's comment - "You will not even be dead . . . . You cannot bear to think that someday it will no longer hurt you like this" - a comment that criticizes Quentin's conflicting aspirations for both martyrdom and the perpetuation of his pain, by which he defines himself - and that turns his weak-willed suicidal tendencies into a nihilism that enables him to drop into the river.

k lemme see...um
1.) im not really sure cuz it aint a complete sentence...um, from what I'm thinking, that's no reason to praise a lady.- praise the woman who can get any man "with" her- if u catch my drift.
2.) its very devastating that the person died in a sinful way.
3.) people who live as good as dey can are blessed so when they die & are judged, dey wont die again in hell, but instead live again in Heaven.
im not very sure of my answers. Its just what i tot of ure phrases. Hope i answered ure question. =)

"Birdsflies" answer is right on target.
Dear Heavenly Father, I confess that I have sinned against heaven and in your sight and need forgiveness. Thank you for sending your Son Jesus to die on the cross for my sins, according to the Scriptures, and I thank you for raising Him from the dead. Today I ask Him to come into my heart to cleanse me from my sin and become my Lord and Savior. I give myself to you. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen!
