Why Christians Should not Fear Death

When it comes to living in this world fear of death is one thing that dominates how we all have to deal with.  When one thinks about all fear whether it is of heights, or being in a tight crawl space or flying it all centers around the fear that death could be involved if the situation lives up to what our imagination has visualized.  Fear is the devil's faith.  God's faith is based on the fact that He wants us to believe Him for what He has promised us from His written Word.  Now I have been through the Bible quite a bit in my life time and I have yet to see where God wants to bring us harm.  The Bible declares in John 10:10, " That the enemy comes to kill, to steal and to destroy."  That is what the devil's faith will produce if we adhere to what he is preaching and wanting for us to confess with our mouths and believe in our hearts for.

God wants us to confess and believe upon the promises that He has given unto us.  Stand upon God's promises for the Bible declares the following in Deuteronomy 30:19, " I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live".  Fear or faith is a choice which one has to make.  The more one fills oneself with what the world has to offer the more fear will dominate.  It is just like body building.  It depends on how often you work those muscles that determines how strong one will be.  I know that spending time with the Lord in His Word and prayer will build muscles that exercise the God type of faith that He wants for us to have.  Fear and the death it produces will dominate if  a person won't lock into the God way of doing things.  So if you want fear and the death to continue its reign of terror in your life than don't spend anytime with the Lord of the Universe and you will continue to enjoy the  results of what these two deadly fruits will produce.  But if you want a different path than choose to try the God of the Bible's way.  I highly suggest that you choose Life.  For God's way suggest that the closest that death will ever come to you is as a shadow (Psalm 23:4).  Life through Christ has overcome death.  Praise His name!
