Afraid

What are you afraid of today?

Often we don't think about the things we are afraid of unless we are actually facing them. We don't' think about being afraid of the dark until night falls. Nor do we think about earthquakes, tornadoes or such until they are headed our way.

Such is true about death. Often we don't think about it until someone close to us dies. If we are young (and that number keeps getting higher for me) it still doesn't bother us. After all, only older people die right. In Hebrews 9:27 it tells us that "it was appointed unto men to die once and after this comes the judgement." Here we see no matter what we think, we will have to face death. It does not come without the next step of judgement.

Do you fear death? There is no need to be afraid. Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 15:55-57
55 " O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?" 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; 57 but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. NASU

You too can have the victory of the judgement after death. You need to admit you are a sinner, admit you can not pay for your sins to earn forgiveness, ask Jesus to forgive you and ask him to be your Savior.

Now you should have no fear when death comes your way.
