Afraid to die?

How do you define death? Is it the end of everything? Or just the end of our life here on earth? Some say they are not certain what will happen after they die. Others believe that death is the is the end of everything. On the other hand, the word of God says that there is heaven and hell waiting for us after death. Heaven, as defined in the bible, is the place where we spend our eternal life with God. And of course eternal life is for those who trusted, accepted and believed on Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord (John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8-9, John 14:6, See article below(The archer's faith) ). Hell, of course is the opposite of heaven. It's the place of torment and suffering. This is eternal death as what the bible is telling us.

My question is: Are you 100% sure that your soul will go to heaven after you die? I mean 100%... really sure? If yes, then good.. but if not, i think your'e really in trouble. Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God", Romans 6:23 "For the wages(price/payment) of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord". All of us are ought to die because all have sinned. There are two kinds of death, the physical and spiritual death. In Romans 6:23, since all of us sinned, all of us will die (physical and spiritual). But there is a hope prepared for us. God said, but the Gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus . We need to accept that gift... but how? Click here .

That's the reason why am not afraid to die. Because i have the assurance of salvation. I'm sure of that because God promised it, that when I receive Him as my Savior and Lord, eternal life is waiting for me. God loves us.
