You Will Live Forever - Ernest Shurtleff Holmes
PART ONE
You Will Live Forever
"Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there. . . . If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall thy hand lead me. If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me. . . .
"Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. . . . and there shall be no more death . . . for the former things are passed away. . . . by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. . . . The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
"But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? . . . There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial. . . . So also is the resurrection of the dead . . . it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
And so it is written . . . The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. . . . And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
These words were written nearly two thousand years ago, perhaps on an occasion when a beloved member of someone’s family or a dear friend had passed from this world, leaving behind only the memory of a life well lived and well loved.
Then, as now, self-preservation was the first law of life. And someone asked: Is it really true that man has a soul, and if so, is he immortal, and under what circumstances?, Is there really a spiritual body, and do we all, after leaving this body, go on to another one?
For thousands of years before this question was asked, there had been a teaching that this physical body is but an instrument for the spirit and when, by reason of any fact, it is no longer a fit instrument, then the spirit quietly severs itself from the body.
As The Song Celestial so beautifully said:
Never the spirit was born;
The spirit shall cease to be never;
Never was time it was not;
End and Beginning are Dreams!
Birthless and deathless and changeless
Remaineth the spirit forever;
Death hath not touched it at all,
Dead though the house of it seems!
Nay, but as one who layeth
His worn-out robes away,
And, taking new ones, sayeth,
These will I wear today!
So putteth by the spirit
Lightly its garb of flesh,
And passeth to inherit
A residence afresh.
For thousands of years there had been a teaching that this physical universe is but a counterpart of a spiritual one; that the invisible things of God, as the Bible states, are made manifest or known by the visible; that this physical world is but a symbol or a token of an invisible spiritual universe in which even now we live; and that there is a counterpart or a parallel between the two worlds.
And so when someone asked: How is it that the dead are raised up, and with what body? The question was answered by: There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial. . . . There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body,
and all men will some day inherit this spiritual body.
When the disciples of Jesus asked him: What is God’s relationship to the dead? he answered, as we should expect, by saying: God is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
This is not only an inspirational answer by a spiritual genius, it is a logical answer by a great thinker, for God is life and life cannot produce death. Science knows of no energy that can destroy itself.
There are no dead people in my Father’s house. Jesus really said: In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. . . . that where I am, there ye may be also. . . . for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
This teaching is the basic principle of the great and profound philosophy of the Christian faith: that every man is an immortal soul on the pathway of an eternal evolution, destined to be ever more and never less himself, on and on and on.
