In essence, those who fear death, it seems, fear life and have prioritized self-indulgence for the remainder of their days. Slowing down and focusing on oneself is not Scripture’s perspective on life. Theologian J. I. Packer explains it this way.

He is ready to give you all the help you need to resist and obey. He invites us to approach him with confidence. What are you waiting for?

God is working His plan. Stay on the journey . . . keep looking up . . . get ready. God has an eternally important assignment just for you. 

When you demonstrate your willingness to trust Him and not hold back . . . get ready . . . He is going to do some great things in your life!

Jesus offers you a personal relationship with Him. Are you ready to turn from the stuff you’ve been chasing and accept His free gift of eternal life?
