Jesus gave assurance that death does not end human existence or personal identity, the “I” or the Self. Human beings have a divine destiny by God’s plan, a royal dignity that overtakes their finite status during their lifetime on Earth. Humans are offered a share in God’s immortality, a gift by God’s grace through the living Jesus Christ. [Ronald Nash, “After Death I.D. - Will I Still Be Me?” Facts for Faith, Quarter 4 (2001) 36-42]
