David Wilkerson emphasizes that our mortal bodies are merely temporary shells that house the eternal life given to us by God. He explains that this eternal life grows within us, and when it reaches maturity, our physical bodies must be shed to embrace a new, glorious existence. Wilkerson encourages Christians to overcome the fear of death, as Paul did, recognizing that to die is to gain a greater life with the Lord. He urges believers to shift their focus from earthly ties to the anticipation of the heavenly city prepared for those who die in faith. Ultimately, he calls for a deeper desire to depart and be with the Lord, celebrating the victory of those who have passed on in Christ.

Zac Poonen emphasizes that death holds no fear for a disciple of Christ, as Jesus has triumphed over death, rendering it a defeated enemy. He explains that upon death, a person's soul immediately goes to either Heaven or Hell, highlighting the reality of these two destinations through the story of the rich man and Lazarus. Poonen clarifies that man is a threefold being, and at death, the spirit and soul separate from the body, entering either paradise or torment. He reassures believers that paradise is now in the third heaven, where they will be with Christ after death. The sermon encourages disciples to live without the fear of death, knowing their eternal destination is secure in Christ.
