All who believe and trust in Christ are made alive through Him.  And because of the cross, the fear of death is eliminated.  In Philippians 1:21 Paul said, "For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain."  Is this a reality in your life?  If it's not, God wants to set you free from the bondage and fear that death brings, by giving you faith that comes from hearing His Word.  We'll hear more about this on today's edition of Sound Doctrine.
