Why should Christians not fear death?

The fear of death can significantly affect a person’s life, yet Christians are called to face death with peace due to their assurance of eternal life in Christ. Hebrews 2:14-15 emphasizes that Jesus came to deliver believers from the fear of death, which enslaves humanity. The victory over death was achieved through His own death and resurrection, providing hope and confidence for believers as they transition from this life to eternal life. As Simeon expressed, he was ready to depart in peace because he had seen God's salvation; likewise, believers can approach death knowing it is merely a transition into the presence of God.
