fear is a state of mind, I have had fear in my life, I feared my dad extremely. But to fear death, I think depends on the circumstances, is it sudden, is it a confrontation with a person, is it an illness, as believers we should always be prepared to meet our maker by not defiling ourselves, we will be forgiven if we ask with a true heart when we sin. this my opinion based on my life before God and our Savior! As I walk before Him. If we live we live to Him, if we die we die to Him, weather we live or weather we die it is to Him. we belong to the One who Created Us. Fear of death depends on your own personal convictions! As for me this world sucks, and I would prefer to be with The Lord, but in His time not mine.
