The fear of death. It has gripped us all, caused us to think twice about different choices and situations, but is it really something that Christians should fear?
If you have a relationship with God, then you have something that the lost don’t have; hope. You know the over quoted John 3:16?
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
New International Version
Eternal life. Eternal life in paradise. Instead of having to fear what happens when you die, you have hope! Don’t live in fear of what tomorrow may bring, for God has promised good for you!
Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. John 5:24
New International Version
When you live your life with Jesus, all that’s left is to believe and trust He has hope for you. Do you believe Him? Think hard. Be honest. Now is the time to not only be honest if you don’t have a relationship with Jesus, but also be honest if you’ve not believed His words.
Always remember that God does not demand perfection, He knows we as humans are not capable of that. He does desire you to live your life with every minute being intentionally for Him. You’ll always have space to grow, so don’t be concerned. The time you should be concerned is when you believe that you cannot grow anymore.
