Is There no Death?


Jesus not only declared himself "the way" and "the truth," but also "the

Must man die, then, in order to inherit eternal life and enter heaven?

Our Master said, "The kingdom of heaven is at hand." Then God and heaven,
or Life, are present, and death is not the real stepping-stone to Life and
happiness. They are now and here; and a change in human consciousness, from
sin to holiness, would reveal this wonder of being. Because God is ever
