Deep dives
The Apostle Paul's view on death and resurrection
The Apostle Paul equates death to a powerful force that deceives and traps humanity, much like the symbolism of the dragon. However, through the resurrection of Jesus, Paul offers a new way of understanding death. Those who are in Christ, even though they may physically die, have their true selves and beings held in the life and love of God, with the hope of resurrection. Paul highlights that Jesus has already conquered death, and the ultimate enemy of God will be destroyed. This understanding challenges the fear of death and invites believers to live without being ruled by the dragon.
