Afraid of Death? This Changes the Whole Story | 1 Corinthians 15:55-57 | 5-Min Daily Devotional | Wednesday 6 May 2026

What if the biggest debt you'll ever face has already been paid in full? That's exactly what the Bible says - and it changes everything about how you face today.

In this 5-minute devotional, we open Romans 6:23 and 1 Corinthians 15:55-57 to discover what Christ's victory over death means for your life right now - not just when you die, but today.

What you'll take away:

- The "unpayable bill" illustration that unlocks Romans 6:23
- Why eternal life is a gift, not something you earn
- How the resurrection reshapes your daily priorities
- 5 practical ways to live boldly because death has been defeated
- How to find real comfort in grief and genuine hope in hard times
