OUR FEAR TO FACE DEATH

Our fear to face death is natural. The followers of Christ have a supernatural view. Our faith permits us to face death with courage, even with cheer.

1 Cor 15: "For the person of faith, death has lost its sting and its victory."

Our death is "dies natalis," our birthday to eternal life, we are born to die, it is true, but we die to live that eternal life for which this brief earthly existence is but a preparatory trial.

Fitful life is just a walk through the vestibule leading to God's eternal temple. We are to show we are worthy to enter the house of God; the entrance is through the portals of death
