If somebody said they’ve never been scared of this thought, they’re probably lying. At some point we have all most definitely been scared of the idea of ‘death.’ How can we not, it means separating from your loved ones and not being able to do the things you enjoy. It’s finite.
Then we have some Christians, who aren't scared at all but instead are full of joy and anticipation. So how can it be, that some Christians dread the day whilst others await it? Well, how can you be ready to meet someone you’ve never known? What makes some Christians not fear death is that they believe in Jesus Christ and understand that they will be resurrected to live with him forever. To fear death is a normal feeling as it is a difficult thing to mentally process. Those Christian that are anxious may be be living in compromise or not fully believe in Christ. They may have doubts about what happens next or doubts about whether or not they will make heaven their home. Sometimes people think it's something they must continually work towards hence they cannot be certain where they will go after death. But Christians should have full confidence of where they will go as faith in Christ is all that is required.
We fixate on this life not understanding how short it is. Let us not be blinded by wealth, titles, people etc. Our main goal is the next life because death is not finite, we have afterlife and we must choose where we want to spend eternity.
If you are that person who questions where you will go next, it means you must spend more time with God, praying for a true revelation of who he is, for an encounter with him. It’s also a good idea to use the bible to study what happens after death. This will give you a better understanding of what is to come.
The bible talks about death and how as Christians we should anticipate the day.
