Don't Fear To Die

Published: February 14, 2024 Β· Reviewed: April 6, 2024

JOHN 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

Jesus, our Lord, has taken away the sting of death for the Christian believer.

1 CORINTHIANS 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

I don't fear passing away. No one who follows Jesus should be afraid of dying.

REVELATION 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Since it's ideal to spend a full life on earth and complete our race here, I'm not in a rush to die.

However, for a Christian believer, death is a promotion once our time on earth is ended.

Many people told they have traveled to Heaven and returned. Never once have I heard one say they wished to leave and come back to Earth. They all claim that it is amazing beyond words.

What more could we ask of our glorious Lord Jesus?

1 THESSALONIANS 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

A Christian who passes away goes to be with Jesus after leaving their physical body. Why is there anything to be fearful?

2 CORINTHIANS 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

PHILIPPIANS 1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:

SAY THIS: I do not fear to die and go to live with Jesus in heaven.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we thank You for the promise of eternal life through Jesus Christ. We believe in His resurrection and the life He offers. We are not afraid of death, for we know it is but a transition to be with You. We are grateful for the testimonies of those who have glimpsed Heaven and returned, affirming its indescribable beauty. Help us to live our earthly lives to the fullest, knowing that death is not an end, but a promotion to eternal life with You. We declare that we do not fear death, for we look forward to living with Jesus in Heaven. Amen.
