Words from preacher Lamb
March 25, 2020
FEAR OF DEATH:
Hebrews 9:27 says "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment". From the beginning, God has said that all men have to die. The COVID virus may be the way God intends that some men die. The point is that all Christians know they must die sometime. Thus they have no fear of death. First Corinthians 25:55 states "O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?" Death has no power over the child of God. In other words, Satan can't threaten us with death for the redeemed God has taken the stinger out of death. For those not saved, the COVID virus is very scary for a couple of reasons. First, they are not ready to die. They do not know Jesus. Therefore, they have no comfort about dying or about what comes after death. But the biggest reason the unsaved man fears death is found in the second part of Hebrews 9:27. After death comes judgment. The Christian does not worry over this because Jesus has already taken our condemnatory judgment for us on Calvary's cross. The sinner, however, must stand before God and our Christ and be condemned to eternal hell fire. If I were not a Christian, I would be terribly afraid of the virus for it could very well mean eternal death. Take heart, church... Christ has tasted death for each of us and has prepared heaven for our homecoming. Praise the Lord! God Bless!!
