In life today, there are so many people that weren't opportune to see this day. So many had indeed gone to the world beyond!
In a world full of different kinds of people with various beliefs, it is important to educate so many individuals about life and death. So many people thought when a man dies, then that is his end.
The death of a man or woman on earth may be their end here on earth, but there is a spiritual aspect of life which controls the physical. So when a man dies, the body no longer function but the spirit or soul returns to where it came from.
There is a time for every thing on earth, a time to be born and a time to die, a time to be happy and also a time to cry. In all these, our actions here on earth would determine what becomes of us after we depart this world.
The death of Christ Jesus won't profit any longer if we remain in the evil ways of this world, because when we die we proceed for judgement.
2 Corinthians 5:10:
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.
I know there are lots of people who still don't believe in the final judgement of the Almighty God, the scientists, atheists have chosen not to believe our ministration of Christ the savior. Now in total summary, we who are believers have nothing to lose even if there is no any judgement and if really it has ended when a man dies.
If the opposite is the case, which of course is the truth, then we still won't lose because as a true believer, our faith is what would give us eternity. But for those who have refused to believe, many of such will be highly disappointed when they die to discover the truth.
It is good we live a righteous life here on earth, so as to be prepared awaiting the time of reckoning. If you are not a believer, I want you to reason once more, how will it be when after death you discovered there is a judgement?
I once ask a friend the above question, and he quickly threw the opposite at me and ask me how will it be for me also when I discover there is no judgement after death. A simple answer I gave was that, "I have nothing to lose if that is the case, though there may be a little disappointment, but won't lose anything. And if he (my friend) discovered there is a judgement, then he won't only be disappointed but will face the judgement of God, which probably would cost him more as he wasn't a believer while alive."
The choice is there for everyone, it is not by force, but we will continue to spread the gospel as to liberate many who are yet to see the light of Christ Jesus.
Repent today, tomorrow may be too late for you. There are greater benefits to enjoy with Christ than we can ever find here on earth, Jesus is ever ready to receive you, for He is a merciful father. God blessings upon you. Amen!

Still your dearest @andrewade
Have a wonderful day ahead.
Good post.. I've known even many christians who fear dying.. just a lack of proper understanding about this life. Tnx for sharing.
Thank you too @wilx, nice seeing you around again. So many Christians don't know the real purpose of being a Christ follower, and they have failed to noticed that our kingdom is not here on earth. I know we wish to stay long on earth, but without dying we can't go to the glorious kingdom which Christ has built for us. There are lots of educative sermons our Churches must preach to the followers, else many Christians will continue to serve in deceit...
that's really good post @andrewade i like yourDeath is not the end! post. thanks for share it
Thanks...
Amen!
