(Rom 1:16) “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” The very word, “salvation” speaks of being rescued from some peril that could end in death. The death being saved from here is the consciousness being tormented in a eternal place called “hell”. “Death”, yes; for it is not life lived in the presence and glory of God. That place awaits all who do not turn from their sin and seek salvation through Jesus.
