Overcome the fear of Death!

And since we died with Christ, we know we will also live with him. We are sure of this because Christ was raised from the dead, and he will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him. When he died, he died once to break the power of sin. But now that he lives, he lives for the glory of God. - Romans 6: 8-10

Because of Christ's death and resurrection, His followers need never fear death. That assurance frees us to enjoy fellowship with Him and do His will. This will affect all our activities--work, worship, play, Bible Study, quiet times, and times of caring for others. As the truth gets into you that you have received eternal life through Christ Jesus and physical death is just an instance in your life, you don't fear death and you will experience a new vigor in life. That does not mean you wait for death, no, you should want to do more of God's will here on earth than any other thing and death has to wait till your job has been done. Christ has truly set us free!!


[ Prayer for the Day ]

Heavenly Father, we are so grateful that we have You! May we live life in Your will and using the gifts You've imparted to us to bless others. May we grow the fruit of the Holy Spirit in us that marks us as disciples of Lord Jesus Christ. In Jesus' Name, Amen.


The Word of God was given free to us, therefore we should also share it freely with others.
