Death was not intended for us by God. Death is now part of our journey. The Evil One tries to make us fearful of death. Jesus came to break the bondage of this fear by restoring our union with God. For those alienated from God because of their sinful choices, after Jesus' gift of re-generation, should be afraid of death. Because there death will lead to the second death, eternal alienation from God. But for those who remain in God and die in Christ should have no fear of death. For them it will an act of love from God for them. For their death will be a momentary passage from this life to eternal life with God. For the unrepentant sinner, death is an eternal darkness. For the saved, death is entrance into eternal light.
