The Bible teaches that the fear of death is natural for those without Christ, as seen in Hebrews 2:15.
The fear of death is a common experience among sinful men, and Scripture reveals that it is particularly true for those who are without Christ. In Hebrews 2:15, we learn that many are held in lifelong bondage due to the fear of death. This fear can be crippling, as it stems from the knowledge that death is followed by judgment (Hebrews 9:27). However, for believers, this fear is alleviated through the hope and assurance given by our Savior, who has conquered death and its grip on us.
