spirit is dead, so also faith without works is
dead.James 2:26 (NASB95)
WHAT IS DEATH?
THE SEPARATION OF SPIRIT 1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul! 2 I will
praise the Lord while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. 3 Do
not trust in princes, In mortal man, in whom there is no
salvation. 4 His spirit departs, he returns to the earth; In that very day his thoughts
perish.Psalm 146:1–4 (NASB95)
WHAT IS DEATH?
THE SEPARATION OF SPIRIT 6 Remember Him before the silver cord is broken and the golden bowl is
crushed, the pitcher by the well is shattered and the
wheel at the cistern is crushed; 7 then the dust will
return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will
return to God who gave it.Ecclesiastes 12:6–7
(NASB95)

spirit.” Having said this, He breathed His last.Luke 23:46 (NASB95)

THE SEPARATION OF SPIRIT 28 “Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, 29 and will come forth; those who did

deeds to a resurrection of judgment.

8 You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” For in subjecting all things to him,
He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we do

little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus,
because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for
everyone.Hebrews 2:8–9 (NASB95)

to all who have loved His appearing.
