Before I received eternal life, I had an abiding fear of death. It was the fear of loss and the unknown.
I wouldn't think about it everyday, but it was just something that seemed to always be in the back of my mind.
This was frustrating to me because I wondered what life was all about. What was it all for if we just died and then that was it. I just felt there had to be something more to life than that.
Then, I received the gift of eternal life.
From that time on, the fear of death left me.
After I received eternal life death was no longer an issue.
I attended a funeral recently where many people seemed to just be lost. They had no idea where the deceased might be, they were weeping like people without any hope at all. I realized that is right were I too would be if I hadn't received the gift of eternal life. I now have such a confidence in God that I know for sure I have eternal life.
I know, 100% for certain, that if I was to die today i would be in heaven. Where once I had an abiding fear of death, now I enjoy the abiding confidence of eternal life with God.
