But don't fear death..., it is a transition to true life, but a fear of death may mean u [not u specifically, but everyone in general ] haven't made peace with God yet.
Personallly, I finally made peace when I realized and put into action a dedicated life of great commission obedience ...not relying on seminary professors approval of me, not anybody else. Sure it makes life more difficult without a 6 figure ministry salary but GOD never said it would be easy. We must obey. I'm not perfect, far from it, but am trying 2b obedient.
