Why Mature Believers Don’t Fear Death

Jan 16, 2026    Pastor Robert R. McLaughlin

📖 WHEN THE FINAL PROBLEM IS DEATH — GOD SAVES THE BEST FOR LAST 📖

This message addresses one of the most unavoidable—and most feared—problems of life: death. But it does so from God’s viewpoint, not human emotion.

Scripture teaches that the Christian way of life includes both living and dying. Most believers focus on how to live, yet neglect the fact that dying is also a divinely designed phase of God’s plan. According to the Word of God, death is not random, cruel, or unfair—it is governed entirely by the sovereignty, wisdom, and integrity of God.

This lesson explains that:

• The time, place, and manner of death are God’s decision—not ours

• Death is precious in the sight of the Lord

• The believer does not “lose” at death—death is God’s victory, not man’s defeat

• Spiritual maturity prepares a believer to face death with confidence, peace, and even joy

• The same problem-solving doctrines used in life are meant to be used in dying

Rather than being something to fear, death is revealed as the final test—and for the believer who has grown in doctrine, it becomes a moment of graduation, not loss. As Scripture declares, “For me, living is Christ, and dying is gain.”

God does not save the worst for last.

👉 He saves the best for last—

dying, death, heaven, resurrection, and the eternal state.

This message challenges believers to stop viewing death through emotion or human reasoning and instead adopt the mind of Christ, resting in the truth that whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord
