Believers talk about having eternal life. Yet when the devil tries to threaten their earthly survival with sickness or calamity, they panic.
Why?
Because believers need to learn to look at death through God's eyes. Even though their spirit has been made immortal, they have not renewed their minds to include that truth. If they had, when the devil tried to threaten their earthly survival, they would not panic.
The Word of God says that you, as a born-again believer, are never going to see death (John 8:51). Jesus has been your substitute. He suffered death, so you wouldn't have to. And when He was raised, Hebrews 2:14-15 says, "He destroyed him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And delivered them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage."
Hebrews 2:9
"But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man."
