The virus threat ! Let’s be prepared.
As we all are aware, the world is now fighting one of the deadliest pandemics in the 21st century. Thousands of precious lives have already been lost all over the world. People are taking all possible measures to prevent the spreading of coronavirus. Let us also join the battle, stay vigilant and take all necessary steps to overcome the virus. If you are a healthy person, you don’t have to fear much about coronavirus (COVID-19). Some simple precautions can prevent you from getting infected.
– Wash your hands frequently. (Or use hand sanitizers)
– Avoid touching everyday objects when you are in a public space
– Keep a safe distance from those who have got a cough and cold.
– Avoid public gatherings
– Avoid international travel as much as possible. If you have travelled to infected places, follow government guidelines and do self-quarantine.
– Finally, accept the fact that God is sovereign and He can handle any situation. Pray to God. He can control every situation.
But death is the real threat ! Are we prepared ?
Virus or no virus we all will die one day. That’s the harsh reality. Death is the real threat. As per some studies, there are approximately eight deaths per 1000 people every day. That means a total of 151,600 people die each day. Even simple flu if not taken care of, can become fatal and cause death. This reminds the fact mentioned in the Bible, ‘every man at his best is a mere breath’ (Psalm 39:5).
Life is short and uncertain. Every man will have to die one day. But Dear Friend, death is not the end of everything.
There is life after death. Bible uses the term ‘Everlasting Life’ or ‘Abundant Life’ to describe life after physical death. But can everyone inherit this abundant life? What is the condition to get it? Bible gives the clear answer: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3.16). Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die” John 11:25. No one ever has claimed like this.
Dear Friend, There is only one way to overcome the fear of death. Believe the one who has gained victory over death. Believe in Jesus Christ, confess your sins, then you shall be saved, and you will inherit eternal life.
