We die to sin
We die to death
We die with Christ
With Him we'll rest
Our lives are full of death
Yet we hide from it, frightened
Until we die one final time
To live with our Father, forever lightened
Death, our final victory
Holds us in fear
It tears us apart
And brings us to tears
But by His grace
And by His love
Hush now... for death comes quickly
And with it, Life from above.
Everyday, hundreds of Christians shrink from the thought of a physical death, but in all honesty both life and death, used together, are what Christianity revolves around. And why should we fear death? Jesus died so we could live forever, We died to sin so we could live with righteousness, and we die here, so we can live forever with our Father. Death, it would seem, should only be a fear if it is the second death.
Revelation 12:11 NIV
They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
