"Many people around the world turn to religion to answer questions about death and the afterlife, especially when someone is facing his own mortality. Strangely, even a brief glance at many of the world’s religions reveals that
--many theologies glamorize death,
--promising rewards in the afterlife,
--including increased understanding of God and the universe
--and even, in some cases, supernatural powers that were unavailable during the mortal life.
Death often seems more attractive than being alive.
But the reality of death is that it should be avoided at all costs. Death is the worst thing to ever happen in all of existence.
Life is a precious gift we are unable to recreate once it’s gone. The truth about death lays plain the harshness of the grave.
The Bible declares triumphantly, “Death is swallowed up in victory” (1 Corinthians 15:54). The mystery of death will become the memory of death, and its horror will disappear from reality forever."
