Fear-what are you afraid of? #5

Are you afraid of death? Many are but if you are right with God we have no fear in death!



Judges 6:23

23 But the Lord said to him, “Peace be to you. Do not fear; you shall not die.”



In this verse Gideon has just seen the Angel of the Lord face to face and thought he was going to die for it. BUT God said you will not die! You know what I get from that verse???? You don't die til God says! That's it folks! When God is ready for you to come home or send you to hell then its time. Not a second sooner or later! That is a key point to remember though...when it is time you better be right with Him for there are only two places after death...heaven or hell...no in between. In that line of thinking, look at this verse:



Matthew 10:28

28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.



Your body here is temporary. One of the biggest fears of man is being killed by another man, but guess what? The body you have here is temporary, the one you receive in glory (heaven) is the body that will be eternal. What a man may take here is unimportant but if you give your soul to the devil, well that's an eternity you don't want...one in hell. The him this verse is talking about who can destroy both body and soul in hell is not the devil but God whom if you have rejected allows you to go there to be continually destroyed for ever and ever! My friend do not go that route!



Jesus loves you, died for you and has paved the way to eternity! Don't miss the path!



So are you afraid of death? Why? God provides life through Jesus Christ so you have nothing to fear!



John 10:10



The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
