Are You Afraid to Die?

 Are you afraid to die?  If you are truly believing and trusting in Jesus Christ, you don't need to be afraid.  While other religions stress the works to be done, Christianity says "it is finished".  This doesn't mean we can live like the devil and go to heaven anyway when we die.  If we are living comfortably in blatant sin...guess what?  We aren't Christians.  If you love your sin and don't want to let it go, Christ is not in you.  The end.

     Jesus told the adultress that she was forgiven when she believed and placed her faith in Him,  but to go and sin no more.  As Christians, we will falter, stumble and sin.  But sinning won't feel comfortable any longer.  We will quickly turn from our sins out of thankfulness for His gift and love for our Savior.  We are new creations. 

     God does not intend for Christians to doubt their salvation.  And the Bible really does tell us plainly and God doesn't want us to speculate.  God desires us to know where we are headed. Today, I can honestly say, "death, where is your victory?  Grave, where is your sting?"    Read these verses and let it sink in...

"I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may KNOW you have eternal life."  1 John 5:13

"If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. " Romans 10:9

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should NOT perish, but have EVERLASTING LIFE." John 3:16
