Gods Promise through Jesus Romans 10: 9-10

Since the beginning of time we have responded to the death of a loved one with a cry, even our own death is frightening, for some mind numbing, chilling; what is we fear?
Job asked the question ?If a man die, shall he live again?? 14: 14.
Plato was asked ?Shall we live again? He answered: ?I hope so, but no man may know?.
People are held in bondage to the fear of death, it is the central theme of all religions and some people believe that all religions are a human response to the fact of death. Now that?s a thought to ponder?
You know we just don't handle death well. We Like to pretend that death does not exist. Funeral homes make people up so they look like they are sleeping..
I remember my grandfathers funeral, he really did look like he was sleeping, I kept thinking he was going to sit up at any moment and crab me saying in typical Pop fashion ?Gotcha Mellie!!! People who had names like Charlie or CJ are now the dearly departed or the loved ones I can guarantee some of those at my Pop?s funeral did not regard him as a dear one?but there is hope.
God revealed himself to us through Jesus and through his word. We are his special children and the Bible is our instruction manual?.when all options are examined nothing compares with the hope Christ gives us.
What is this blessing of Hope?
Oh to understand death as a Christian!!! Because although death is universal?.for us Gods Children his creations,,,the fear of death is not!!
A Christian does not have to fear death, when you put your trust in Christ and come to understand what he has done and what he still can do for you by his Resurrection, he gives us victory over the grave. Christ death and resurrection was for us the end of death and the beginning of life everlasting?repeat Christ death and resurrection was for us the end of death and the beginning of life everlasting
How do I become a Christian??? How can I know I?m going to Heaven?
Salvation is as close as your own mouth and heart, if you believe in your heart and say with your mouth Christ is raised you shall not die?it is that easy.
Paul tells us in Romans:
?That if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord,? and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. Romans 10:9,10
John told us Jesus said, ?I am the resurrection and the life, He who believes in me, through he may die, he shall live. And whosoever lives and believes in me, SHALL NEVER DIE? JOHN 11:25,27
Just remember to ?Trust in the Lord with all they heart, and lean not upon your own understanding.? Proverbs 3:5 For all who believe in Christ will be called to everlasting life.
