Fear of death

"Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage" (Hebrews 2:14, 15 NKJV). Fear fills the heart of this generation who walks around the world today. Death is the last stop for every living creature. Whether they believe in Jesus Christ or not, everyone has to face death. To this day, death has many in bondage and living in fear. The Word of God says, "The wages of sin is death". So, sin brings a spiritual death, while Jesus Christ brings life to your spirit. There are two terrors, guilt of sin and fear of death, that only God can deliver a person from. Jesus, through His death, came to destroy Satan, who had the power of death. That all who believe in Jesus will be saved from the grip of fear and no longer live under the bondage of death. Jesus conquered death, and has given us a Comforter, the Holy Spirit, to help us in these last days. "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" (II Timothy 1:7 NKJV). Christ took on flesh and blood, not the form of angels but of man, to become the perfect sacrifice and redeem all humanity from the fearful wages of death. Give God praise. God bless you all
