Scripture tells us that those that believe will never die in 1Corinthians 15:55-57:

"“O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

Furthermore, the devil has already been defeated, because he is a loser:

"And He said to them, "I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning." (LUke 10:18)

"And even as the ruler of this world, he is a defeated foe:'"and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged." (John 16:11)

But we who believe have victory in Christ Jesus, our LORD:

"When He has disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him." (Colossians 2:15)

Also See: Romans 16:20, Revelation 17:14, Revelation 20:1-3 & 1Corinthians 15:26

The secular world may strive for eternal life on earth, but will ultimately perish until the Day of Judgment; the appointed day their eternity in hell begins. But those of us in Christ will live with Him forever and ever:

"But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption," (2Peter 2:12)

"But the wicked shall perish; And the enemies of the Lord, Like the splendor of the meadows, shall vanish. Into smoke they shall vanish away." (Psalm 37:20)

"that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:15-16)

"The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." (Revelation 20:13-15)

With this knowledge, we can defeat the fear the media is spreading regarding Covid-19 and all else:

"And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." (Matthew 10:28)

AND MOREOVER, inasmuch as we know this: that we who believe will live forever, there is no need, nor reason to fear death from the current situation of our world, NOR FOR ANY OTHER REASON.

Christians do not actually die, we transform at the Rapture; even those whose bodies have died in Christ, will be reunited with their new and improved, spiritual bodies at the time of the Rapture:

Note what Paul says here in italics, now in bold type in order to emphasize that, how he refers to believers who have passed on, referring to them as asleep, rather than dead. He is displaying the importance of seeing death with our spiritual eyes. 

Peter uses this manner of speaking as well, through his referencing Israel's forefathers in this illustration of the Lord's Appearing:

 "knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water." (2Peter 3:3-6)

And as we know, our Savior, Jesus Christ has already won the battle for us, hence all those who are destined for hell will not win, but face defeat in the end, hence the title of this article:

"But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)

So, let us all cease in fear of death; forgoing the world's ideas of death and all the fear mongering about death and sickness and REJOICE THAT WE WILL BE WITH THE LORD SO VERY VERY SOON!

This is not to suggest that we embrace the prospect of death, only that we see it through newly inspired eyes; knowing the truth, that if we are in Him, death can no longer hold us, and that this world is not our real home!

"For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ," (Philippians 3:20)

"And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last." (Revelation 22:12-13)
