Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. Death is our enemy and Jesus defeated it! Just think of it &#8211; Death and <em>the place of the dead<\/em> will be done away with someday:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John saw that, <strong><em>&#8220;&#8230;Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire.&#8221;<\/em><\/strong> Revelation 20:14<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jesus<\/strong>, what a gift God. Assurance of<strong> Eternal Life<\/strong>. Simply by believing in Him and His sacrifice on the cross for my sin, I was adopted as God&#8217;s child and forever protected from the clutches of Death. I&#8217;m immune!! It&#8217;s better than any vaccine or insurance policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<strong><em>My Father, who has given (each believer) to Me is greater than all.

I was bought with a most precious price; the blood of  God&#8217;s Son, my Savior. It covers all my sins and frees me from the clutches of evil Death. It&#8217;s the <strong>Good News!<\/strong> I am His and He is mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Death is awful&#8230; but it&#8217;s not the end. Creator God gets the last say. In the end Death will be swallowed up in victory as God&#8217;s children are resurrected and brought into His Kingdom for all Eternity with Him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> &#8220;<strong><em>Now when this the perishable <\/em><\/strong>(body)<strong><em> shall have put on the imperishable, and this, the mortal, shall have put on immortality, then the word having been written will come to pass: \u201cDeath has been swallowed up in victory.
