« “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” »
51 But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed!
52 It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed.
53 For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies.
54 Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die, this Scripture will be fulfilled: “Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?”
56 For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power.
57 But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.
When you are a child of God, even when walking in the valley of the shadow of death, you will have nothing to fear because the Lord of hosts is with you Psalm 23:4.
The Bible says in John 11:25NKJV
« Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live »
Once you become a child of God, death is no longer something to fear.
In fact, it becomes something you look forward to because if Jesus tarries, it would be your passage into heaven where you will be with your Master, without pain or sorrow.
Apostle Paul said in Philippians 1:21KJV
« For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain »
My fear of death vanished completely from observing my Father-in-the-Lord – Pa Josiah Akindayomi (the founder of The Redeemed Christian Church of God) and his friend, sending messages to each other back and forth.
One would say, “I will die before you” and the other one would reply, “No, I will surely go before you”.
These two men were talking about death like someone talks about going to the market.
When you are truly redeemed and know that death is only your visa into great bliss and glory, you will live above it.
Beloved, I banish every fear of death in your life, in Jesus’ name.
From today, you will live above death, in Jesus’ name.
I want you to note however, that if you are not truly born again, if you still have pending restitutions to make, if Jesus is not truly your Lord and Savior,
then you should be afraid of death, because it would then be a visa for you to spend eternity in the lake of fire.
If you are not yet born again, please say this prayer:
Lord Jesus, I invite You into my life as my Lord and Savior and ask for the grace never to commit sin again, to be qualified to be with You in heaven when I leave this earth. Thank you Lord, in Jesus’ name I have prayed.
Congratulations!
Now look for a Bible-believing Church near you to attend regularly.
Application – Once you become a child of God, death is no longer something to fear.
