"Our Saviour Christ Jesus ... abolished death" ( 2 Timothy 1:10 ). Men still die, "it is appointed unto men" ( Hebrews 9:27 ), but the fear of death as having power to terminate or affect our personal existence and our union with God, as a dreadful stepping out into the unknown and unknowable (into Sheol of the impenetrable gloom), and as introducing us to a final and irreversible judgment, has been removed. Christ has taken out of it its sting ( 1 Corinthians 15:55 ) and all its hurtful power ( Hebrews 2:14 ); has shown it to be under His control ( Revelation 1:18 ), brought to light the incorruptible life beyond, and declared the ultimate destruction of death ( 1 Corinthians 15:26; compare Revelation 20:14 ). The Greek (, katargeı̄tai ) indicates that the process of destruction was then going on.
