Christians Should Not be Afraid of Death

“What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.” Psalms 89:48

Everyone dies. Everyone has to face his or her mortality. However, as Christians, we are not to fear death. God has promised His children a resurrection. Our deaths are not really death at all, but a transition into eternal life with Him.

Some verses concerning death for a Christian , the resurrection, and eternal life promised to us:

Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. Luke 20:36

Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, Who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: II Timothy 1:9-10

But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for He shall receive me. Selah. Psalm 49:15
