Telling The Truth About Death

Death is the end of our life on earth. Death is sad for those left behind. Death is a grievous event in the life of those left behind because we treasure the life of those who died. When others pass away, we miss them. Death is the end of our earthly life but death can also be the beginning of our life in heaven. Conversely, death can also be the beginning of our life in hell. Death is fearful because death is unknown in our direct life experience. Our fear of death can be taken away by our blessed assurance Christ has saved us from the eternal fire of hell. Some people have trouble telling the truth about death because they have no faith there is a heavenly life. If people of no faith told the truth about death, they would tell a tale of terror and horror. With no faith, persons face unknown outer darkness…a A place of terror and horror. However, the terror and horror of death need not grip a person. Death can be the beginning of heaven if we accept Christ as Savior and Lord of our life.
