JAN 5 2026 All Fear is Gone
"Death
is the one thing most of us fear. From this fear stems all other
fears. Fact is we often fear what we cannot explain and so we
wonder what awaits us on the other side. Death is an enemy, because
death was not the will of God for man. We do not really want to
die, even as saints. What we really want is to be changed, as
Jesus was changed, from a mortal to an immortal. Not until the
last day arrives and we are joined to our immortal bodies, will we
have total victory over death. Death has many forms. Disease
and pain touch our body with a form of death. Anxiety, lack of
energy, lack of strength, and lack of material needs, are all aspects
of death. And the numerous destructive and hurtful lusts,
desires, and passions of the flesh are all foreshadows of decay and
death. All these forms of death will not touch our immortal body
and soul, and thus we will enjoy everlasting victory over all the
things which now plague humanity. For us, death is a phantom
foe, and since we know what lies ahead we need not be afraid.
Time, for men, is the great enemy, the ally of death, for after a
brief moment men are cut off from everything they hope in. But
for the saints, time is on our side and death is the passageway
releasing us from this world to live in a better world. For the
moment, we are subject to the effects of death working in our flesh,
but through Christ Jesus we are not overcome or defeated by any of
these effects. Though we are subject to sickness and disease, we
have the power to overcome them through faith in Christ. Though
we are subject to pain, we do not have to be defeated by it." --excerpt
