There is a way we can be relieved from our fear of "it". We have fear because we are born alienated from God, and we have an appointment to meet him someday. [1] Everyone born on the face of the earth will keep this appointment and all of us, deep down are afraid of that day. This is why we don't want to "think about it," "hear about it," or "talk about it." This is how most of us feel unless we have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior. Jesus Christ came to this earth, lived, and died on the cross, to deliver us from the fear of death. [2]

Romans 5:12
Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned --

Romans 5:7-8
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

John 3:36
He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."

Romans 10:9-10
... if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

You can come to the place where you look forward to "it", knowing when you leave this life you will leave behind all fear, pain, disappointment, and tears. You will begin an eternity of peace, joy, and comfort.[3] Please take the time right now to ask the Lord Jesus Christ to be your personal Savior, to come into your heart and to start giving you peace about "it."
