Death is hard for all and one of the greatest fears people have is the fear of death. However, all of us one day will face death. Losing a loved one is never easy. Death for me is scary thinking of those I will leave behind one day like my parents left me but it comforts me knowing God will take care of them.
If you know for sure you are going to heaven, you don’t have to fear death. I know when I take my last breath, I will wake up and see the Lord. I am certain of this, not based on my own ideas, but because I have the Son (
1 John 5:12-1.... Paul said when he would be absent from the body he would be with the Lord (
1 Corinthians 5:8). So this gives me alot of peace knowing my parents are safe in Heaven just waiting for me one day and when I leave my son's behind I know God will take care of them for me ...
We have a natural body and also a spiritual body. Here on earth, we have a body that ages. Each year we get older, we can see how that affects our bodies. We can’t move around like we did when we were younger. We get sick, we get tired, and we need rest. But up in heaven, we will have a glorified body. One that never aches. One that never gets sick. One like Jesus.
One day we will be home, and that thought brings comfort to me, not fear.
The only one who wants us to fear is the enemy of our souls.
God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind (
2 Timothy 1:7).
Satan knows he can’t go to heaven, so he wants to scare us about death.
