人人都有一死，但圣徒的死与世人的死有什么不同呢？圣徒的死是与基督耶稣同死，但世人的死是孤独的死。圣徒的死有基督耶稣同在，是与祂一同埋葬，但世人的死只能与会朽坏的陪葬物一同埋葬。更大的不同是，圣徒与基督耶稣同死、同埋葬，就必与祂一同复活得永生，而世人的死则将面对永远的刑罚。

耶稣曾经死过，因为祂成了肉身，就必需经过死亡；然而祂并不和其他因罪而死的人一样，被死亡所拘禁，相反的，耶稣以身体的复活证明祂是生命之主，有能力胜过罪的死亡权势。

我们藉由洗礼归入基督耶稣，就是表明：现在我们与基督耶稣同死、同埋葬，将来必然与祂同复活。虽然我们还没经历复活，但保罗提醒我们「要像从死人中活着的人，把自己献给上帝」。即使我们还活在必死的肉身中，但我们已经拥有能力去活出复活的生命，过一个胜过罪恶的生活。

我们有一天都将经历肉身的死，但我们要因着常常盼望复活的荣耀，不再恐惧死亡，并且在每一天勇敢地活出复活的生命。

Everyone will die, but what is the difference between the death of a saint and the death of a worldly person? The death of a saint is a death with Christ Jesus, but the death of a worldly person is a lonely death. The death of a saint is accompanied by Christ Jesus and buried with Him, but the death of a worldly person can only be buried with decaying grave goods. The greater difference is that when a saint dies with Jesus Christ, they will be resurrected with Him to eternal life, while the death of a worldly person will face eternal punishment.

Jesus had died before, because He became flesh, He had to go through death. However, unlike other people who died because of sin, He was not bound by death. On the contrary, Jesus' bodily resurrection proved that He is the Lord of life and has the power to overcome the power of sin and death.

Through baptism, we are joined with Jesus Christ, which means that we now die and are buried with Him, and in the future, we will surely be resurrected with Him. Although we have not experienced resurrection yet, Paul reminds us to "present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life". Even though we still live in mortal flesh, we already have the power to live out a resurrected life, to live a life that overcomes sin.

We will all experience physical death one day, but we should not fear death because we hope for the glory of resurrection. And we should courageously live out a resurrected life every day.
