1 Corinthians 15:26

The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death (KJV)

Then: What more can be said? This is life victorious for all mankind because of the love of the Father who sent his son to first sustain and then deliver those who believe in him.

Now: Paul states the last step in putting the world back in order (Wright, p. 213). The verse is a confirmation of resurrection. From death to life. That's a promise that all believers can expect to be fulfilled. We cannot, but he can. We love him because he loved us enough to come, to teach, to die and rise again. In a balance of what do we value more, the action or the one who loves us, there is no doubt. Above all else we value the Lord and his love. Without his presence in heaven, there'd be no point in wanting to have life eternal.
