Christians - why spend your entire life preparing for death?

Nope, there is no need for a Christian to prepare for death other than the basic funeral arrangements that the rest of us have to make as well.

I don’t think of it truly is honest for a Christian to call the existence of an atheist unquestionably meaningless for that is all atheists have and no count how little it truly is, that is going to no longer be demeaned or taken faraway from them ; precisely because of the fact it’s all they have. on the different hand it truly is only honest to call this variety of existence extremely meaningless while in comparison with what it ought to be… there is obviously no longer something incorrect to make the excellent out of our earthly existence (Christians are no longer distant places to the assumption) however the atheist version of “superb” might variety drastically from that of a Christian ; by the way, Christians do no longer await the afterlife to inaugurate the dominion of God…It starts maximum excellent right here on the earth, and specific it helps us practice for the fullness of Heaven yet in and of itself it truly is a surprising existence maximum worth of attention. finally yet no longer least, the few an prolonged time that we spend on the earth can't probable degree as much as the eternal Beatitudes of Heaven.

You are wrong. Christianss is spending their entire life preparing for enternal life after death. So not preparing for death, but preparing something eternal beyond that point.

We don't spend our life preparing for death, we spend it preparing for what's after...

The first death is of no consequence. It's the second we wish to avoid.

I am prepared for death today,

and I am prepared for life today,

because I live in a real and continuous relationship with my God, through faith in Jesus Christ His Son, who loved me and washed me from my sins in his own blood.

O look forward to the day to see what good thing God will do through me to bless someone else.

I spend my entire life trying to improve who I am and become closer to God to avoid a spiritual death. I am preparing for the rest of my earthly life so as to be with God in the after life.

Death is the next great adventure! Death is the great equalizer of all mankind. Death is common to all. We are going to die, why not be prepared and then live as if today is the last day of my life, knowing if it is -- great! If not --even better!

Phil 1:21 -- For me to live is Christ, to die is gain!

Yes, it is. THe Bible says you should hate this world in comparison to Jesus and His kingdom. That's easy to do. All I have to do is look at all the sin in the world and in my life and realize this world is ruined by sin.

I admit I am scared of death. I am scared of pain and the unknown, but I know that Jesus is there waiting for me.

It's called faith. We understand that we're a long time dead. We have faith that the life after this one exists and can be worth living, if we follow the Lord. If we're wrong, so what? We're worm food and there won't be a "us" to bemoan the loss. If we're right, then we win, JACKPOT!

Everyone dies a little more each day; a fact. We Christians are encouraged to seize the moment and make each minute count, by word and deed. We are not hastening nor encouraging early Death, but embracing life and our Lord.
