Genesis 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it was thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
The second important point in our study is the following grim truth: [2] Human beings are mortal, because of sin, and as a direct result, will gradually deteriorate back into dust. At this juncture we must take a scientific detour to the grave, to better understand what takes place in the land of night.
When a person dies, as most of us will at some point or another, decomposition begins with the tissues, fat and muscles, and finally, bones are also decomposed through chemical processes. This decomposition takes place at varying rates, in different climates, and depends on such factors as exposure to the elements, temperature variations, and the like.
Thus, given the appropriate length of time, all flesh and all bones will eventually return to the dust, according to the scriptures. This fact must be clearly understood by all, for it is this dilemma that God sent His Son to rescue us from.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
