How do I Prepare for Death and Dying?

Would you rather be run over by a truck or the truck's shadow? Does the fear of death keep you from truly living? Knowing that God awaits us at the end of our earthly lives can give us unmatched peace and comfort – not only in death but for our lifetime. Today, Dr. David Jeremiah looks at what the Bible says about death, fear of death, and what the Bible says about confidence in the afterlife.

You are not ready to live until you are ready to die.

I just found out I have stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Very little hope, but maybe a clinical trial. Fortunately I found God months before the diagnosis, been chasing Him for years but I finally got it. So I'm not afraid to die, I will miss my family and my dogs. And the pain is not very welcome either. I could use prayers, I ask everyone because that's the most important.

Non believers cannot except the scriptures because they have to be seen in the light of the spirit which gives life.

True born again Christians are in a win-win situation. we get to serve the Lord in life. He provides for us and protects us. Then after our mortal death we spend eternity with Him. We have nothing to fear from "death".

When I was first told I had throat cancer back in May of 2019, I surprised myself and my doctor by shouting out, "I'm going Home!`"

We he told ne I had an 85% chance of living, I was surprised again by disappointment. I was really looking forward to going to Heaven. I am still her and still full of joy because I still get to serve the Lord. Win-win.

My young adult son died of cancer 3 1/2 months ago. Of course I am devastated. He fought a courageous battle until the very end. When pastor David Jeremiah taught on what happens when a person dies who is a believer/born again Christian, their spirit and their mind/soul go directly to the Lord. In all my years of Christianity, I just didn’t hear that part until my son died and not until three months later after he died. What a beautiful God we have. I am indebted to Him forever and ever and all my days. ❤️🙏

Dr. Jeremiah speaks from the Bible and I love that he speaks from the Heart.

There are too many misguided "pastors" on YouTube. It is calming to listen to a timeless pastor that preaches sound biblical truth.

[brianjeffers]

I have been raised a Baptist in a little country town and I’m getting older almost 60 and have several medical problems. I’m not sure what your named religion is but now after reading hearing and getting bible education material from y’all. I am sold these materials have really got me digging on what I really believe. Can’t wait to watch more. My death isn’t scaring me any more. I’m getting more ready every day now. 😊
