The Bible teaches that while death brings fear to the world, believers should not fear death because Jesus has delivered them from its power.
The Bible, particularly in Hebrews 2:14-15, states that Jesus came to deliver His people from the fear of death, which holds many in bondage. Death is a certainty that all humanity faces, as shown by the repeated phrase 'and he died' in Genesis 5. However, for believers, death is not the end, but a transition to eternal life with Christ. In contrast to the world, which fears the unknown and faces judgment after death, Christians are assured of victory over death through Jesus, who conquered sin and death. Therefore, the fear surrounding death is alleviated by the hope and assurance that believers have in Jesus Christ.
