Romans 14:7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
Amazingly, there are no individual English words in Romans 14:7-9 that change the meaning of the Greek words from which they were translated to the extent that reconciliation is required. Suffice it to say that during this earth age there is flesh life and death and there is spiritual life and death which is fairly well explained in Revelation 20:4-6 “And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years” “But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.” “Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years”. We have proved in prior posts that the “beast” of Revelation 20:4 is any spiritual grammatical subject other than God. God’s “seven thousand” “election” achieve the first resurrection during this earth age and on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years”. Everyone other than God’s “seven thousand” “election” are the spiritually “dead” of Revelation 20:5 and are subsequently susceptible to the second death of Revelation 20:6. Fear not, “seven thousand” “election” will cause the rest of humanity “to come unto the knowledge of the truth” “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour” “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth”.
Romans 14:8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.
Romans 14:9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
