*Topic: NO FEAR OF DYING*
*Saturday 5th August 2023*
*STF: LUKE 12:4 4**
*And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do*
Christians should no longer be motivated by *the dread of dying because Jesus conquered death and took away its sting.*
1 CORINTHIANS 15:55 55 O *death* , where is thy *sting* ? O *grave, where is thy victory?*
*Jesus has won over death* . A Christian's death now simply marks the passage from this *imperfect* , *impermanent* *world to a better, more perfect, and eternal reality* . Anyone who puts their *faith in Jesus does not need to be fearful* .
*I assume that death is now like birth:* only a transition into a better, though unknown, *location that has more freedom, awareness, or consciousness and where we will continue to learn and develop while appreciating God's kindness.*
*LUKE 20:38 38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.*
Death is not the end. *Additionally, death is just sleep for your physical body and not for the true self that resides inside it* . Your body will sleep in death after you pass away *until the great Resurrection, but you will always be alive with God* .
