Scriptures to support this:
2 Corinthians 3:17-18. The Glory of the New Covenant
…17Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into His image with intensifying glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
This correlates to when Jesus was on the Mount of Transfiguration in Matthew 17 where Jesus is transfigured and his face shown like the sun. Now a few days before the transfiguration, This is what happened (Matt 16)
21From that time on Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and that He must be killed and on the third day be raised to life. 22 Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. “Far be it from You, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to You!” 23But Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me. For you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.”…
So even though Peter had earlier confessed that Jesus was the Son of God, yet Jesus told him that because he had in mind the THINGS OF MAN AND NOT THE THINGS OF GOD, he was a stumbling block and that it was coming from Satan.
The next verses say:
24Then Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. 25For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?…
So, when we have in mind the things of man, and not the things of God, it is Satanic. The mask covers the glory we reflect when we have The Holy Spirit in our hearts. The mask is NOT OF GOD, but of man. I have dear Christian friends who are afraid of dying of CV and try to save their lives by wearing a mask or getting a wicked vaxx that has aborted fetus tissue and withdrawing from going to church, being with others, etc. They justify it by saying they are “loving well” and obeying the authority that God put in place. But Peter thought he was doing the right thing by trying to stop Jesus from going to the cross to die. He thought he was “loving well”, yet The Lord set him straight.

Ok, that today’s Bible study, friends.
This was powerful, arguably transformational for me to read. Thank you sincerely for posting
People who are afraid of dying are pussies.
