Death Itself Dies and Life Itself Lives

The Bible and the Quran both speak about two families: the family of selfishness (seeking to benefit oneself), governed by the devil; and the family of love of others (seeking to benefit others), governed by God. 

Both books talk about how we will change our qualities from selfishness to love of others and return to God.

Family of Selfishness
Family of Love of Others



       Seeking to benefit oneself
       This family has a father, mother, brother, sister etc


       Seeking to benefit others
       This family has a father, mother, brother, sister etc
       Father is the devil
       Kingdom of this world
       Father is God
       Kingdom of God
DEATH
LIFE
The quality of selfishness is considered death.
 
When we are in the quality of selfishness we are separated from God because God is the quality of love of others.
 
When we are separated from God we are considered dead.
 
When we change our qualities from selfishness to love of others, the quality of selfishness within us dies. That which keeps us separated from God dies.
 
Death itself dies.
 
... and the quality of love of others within us comes to life.
The quality of love of others is considered life.
 
When we are in the quality of love of others we are connected to God because God is the quality of love of others.
 
When we are connected to God we are considered alive.
 
When we change our qualities from selfishness to love of others, the quality of selfishness within us dies and the quality of love of others within us comes to life.
 
Life itself lives.
 
We become a part of God's family, the family of love of others.
