HE HAS ABOLISHED DEATH
The reason Christians don’t fear death is because we’re hoping for a better Resurrection. That’s why when our persecutors threaten us with death, we don’t flinch
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 – 2 Timothy 1:10
The Lord Jesus Christ has abolished death. Death is not yet destroyed since 1 Corinthians 15:26 tells us that the last enemy to be destroyed is death. We also know that according to Revelation 20:14 death and the grave will be cast into the Lake of Fire.
Which means, even though death is still active in this life, the Lord Jesus Christ holds the keys of death and the grave. He will unlock death at His Return and resurrect some to Eternal Life and some to eternal punishment.
The reason Christians don’t fear death is because we’re hoping for a better Resurrection. That’s why when our persecutors threaten us with death, we don’t flinch. We know that should we die, we’ll be raised again to Eternal Life. We also know that our persecutors will be resurrected as well to pay for what they did to us.
CONFESSION
I don’t fear death because the Lord Jesus Christ was dead but is now alive forevermore. And He has the keys of death and the grave. Glory to God!
