Scripture reveals that death is not the end but a doorway — God walks with us through it and promises resurrection life beyond it.
Scripture on Death
Psalm 23:4
Old Testament
"Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."
Ecclesiastes 3:1-2
Old Testament
"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot."
John 11:25-26
New Testament
"Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.'"
2 Corinthians 5:8
New Testament
"We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord."
Revelation 21:4
New Testament
"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
The Bottom Line
Death has been defeated by Jesus, who transforms our greatest fear into the pathway home.

Tell someone you love them — death reminds us that our words and presence matter more than we realize.
Prayer
Jesus taught us to bring our deepest fears to the Father (Matthew 6:9-13).
Father, death feels so final and frightening, but You are the God of life. When I face loss or think about my own mortality, help me remember that Jesus conquered death itself. Give me peace that surpasses understanding and hope that anchors my soul. Help me live fully today, knowing that in Christ, death is not goodbye but see you soon. In Jesus' name, Amen.
