RE: What does the Bible say about the dead? - Part 1
Death generally frightens people. The feeling of leaving your loved ones and thinking of seeing them again creates a sadness in most people. Death makes everything equal. We have to get ready to die. Death is not the last sleep, last awake. And we can not bring anything to the world when we are born, nor can we take anything when we are dead. @truth-be-told
You're right. People fear death because most don't know what to expect. We morn and have a sense of disbelief that our loved one is gone because we were never meant to experience death. When our time comes, it will not matter how rich or poor we were. The only thing that will matter is our character and our relationship with God.
As a Christian, we have the great hope of the resurrection upon Christ's return. So death is not the final goodbye for Gods people.
