Those Who Claim To Be Matured Believers But Are Afraid Of Being Beheaded by OpenYourEyes1: 6:43am On Jun 29, 2020 |
There are things you will be shown by GOD in your maturing stage that will make you never to be afraid of death. I believe GOD shows this things to us in our maturing stage to convince us that HIS promises to us are true, and this will immediately make you never to be afraid of dying. You will even be hoping to leave the world if you know where it is currently heading to. {This exclude believers that are still growing up. The matured ones should always be guiding and nourishing them to keep them from harm until they are matured.} So, I find it surprising when some who you think are matured believers are afraid of being beheaded or killed.

So, the world is currently heading to a place that its going would make one not be afraid of dying while one would hope to leave this world? Such a person must either be Jesus who's death is supposedly beneficial to the world, or one must be so afraid of where the world is currently heading that death would be preferred. Which is it Openyoureyes, afraid or beneficial? And how does one leave the world if not by dying? |

The fear of death is relative either to a baby or mature Christian. To a baby Christian the fear of death is majorly on uncertainty of destination. To a mature Christian it is the fear of not fulfilling destiny, fear of not dying full, fear of meeting God without impacting lives, the fear of not having many crowns etc not necessarily because of the power of death, for it has nothing with us. With long life will God satisfy us, yet the number of years he didn’t tell us, according to God’s calendar your satisfaction maybe 120 while mine is 95. So that fear of not knowing when and how to die puts us all to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. This is my take. 1 Like |

Luke 12:4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. |

OpenYourEyes1: Dying for christ is not really a problem but for what reason is the question. I will rather stay alive and touch many lives than dying . My life is more profitable to God than death. A christian should do his best to stay alive for the cause of the gospel. But if the church is facing persecution and has to go underground and they capture you to reveal where the rest are or they will kill you ,that will be a good time to die knowing that you death has preserved the lives of others . Or if they capture and say they will spare you if you renounce christ . It's better to die at such times . But other than that I don't see a reason why a Christian should die especially if he has not fulfilled his course 1 Like 1 Share |

petra1: Ofcourse. We die when our purpose on earth is fulfilled as believers. When we die, we die in CHRIST and we die to be with HIM. That's part of reasons we should never be afraid of dying. — We fulfil our purpose on earth — and we die to be with the LORD in better place/bodies Part of the reasons people fear death is because they're not so sure of where they are heading to after death. That's why it's important people really accept CHRIST, start serving him and living holy 1 Like |
