A man will give everything that he has for his life.—Job 2:4.

 

The Bible acknowledges that death is an enemy. (1 Cor. 15:25, 26) We may feel anxious at the thought of death, especially when we or our loved ones are critically ill. Why do we fear death? Because Jehovah created us with the desire to enjoy life forever. (Eccl. 3:11) A balanced fear of death can help us to protect our life. It can motivate us to make good decisions about our diet and exercise routine, to seek the help of physicians and medications when necessary, and to avoid needlessly putting our life in danger. Satan knows that we cherish our life. He claims that we would sacrifice everything we have—even our friendship with Jehovah—just to preserve our present life. (Job 2:5) How wrong Satan is! Still, since he is “the one having the means to cause death,” Satan tries to exploit our natural fear of death in order to make us abandon Jehovah.—Heb. 2:14, 15. w22.06 18 ¶15-16

Confidence in Jehovah is never misplaced. He guarantees what no human Physician ever could, Too extend the life of his servants. Not for a few troubled years, but for all eternity. If necessary by a resurrection from the dead—in his glorious new world now so near at hand.—Ps. 23:4; Acts 24:15.  We love you, and patiently wait, Jehovah!
