A common way of thinking during the day of the dead by those who practice it is that
they'll often say, you know, throughout these three days, October 31st, November
1st and 2nd, we're just going to eat, we're going to drink and just have a good
time because death is inevitable and we're all gonna die one day. Well there's
something similar that is said about that within the Word of God. In 1st
Corinthians chapter number 15 in verse 32 the Bible says, if after the manner
of men I have fought with the beast at Ephesus, what advantage is it me if the
dead rise not? Let us eat and drink for tomorrow we die. Verse 33, be not
deceived, evil communications corrupt good manners. You see the Apostle Paul is
simply saying this, look if heaven doesn't exist, if you know the dead rise
not, then yeah let us eat and drink and be married. Why? Because tomorrow we're
gonna die, nothing else is gonna take place. But the fact of the matter is
something will take place. For those who are in Christ, for those who are
believers, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. And
the Bible teaches us that every man will give an account for the things
done in his body, whether they be good or whether they be bad, the Bible
teaches us. And here's the thing, those who believe, well you know what, we're
just gonna eat, drink, and be married for tomorrow we die, the Bible calls that
evil communications. Why is that? Because the Bible teaches us that we
ought to live recognizing that there's consequences for our actions. And the
Bible says evil communications corrupt good manners. You know what, if we
think that all we're gonna do is just die, nothing awaits us after this
life, that's gonna corrupt our way of living. However, if we recognize that
there's a God who's gonna judge us, first of all it's gonna cause us to
seek the true and living God and want to get saved. But for those who think,
well tomorrow we die, the dead rise not, nothing's gonna happen, those are evil
communications that are gonna send someone to hell.
