So I feel the need to say something.
First of all, God loves you. God loves you so much that He sent His literal Son to die a humiliating and painful death for you. He knows what it means to lose someone important. So He definitely cares about your pain and hurt, whatever it may be.
Second, God's Son isn't dead anymore. Jesus came back from the dead 3 days after He died. A whole bunch of people saw Him alive in the flesh, they touched Him, talked to Him, and yes, some doubted if it was true. But it is true.
And that's why we have hope. Death lost all its power that day.
Third, you don't have to fear anything. Now, I'll be the first to tell you that I am a worrier, an anxiety-ridden, fearful person at times. But I don't have to be. And I'm trying to be better.
Because God is all-powerful, nothing can defeat Him. Because Jesus rose from the dead, death cannot do anything to us. Because God sends His Holy Spirit to us, we don't have to wander around lost. God's Presence is with us, and its a wonderful feeling.
Now, what exactly does all this mean? What's the point of it all? Why did God send Jesus in the first place?
Because we are very broken, very hurting, very sinful people. We lie, and we cheat, and we steal, and we murder, and we do strange, unnatural things, and we ignore and insult God. And because God is holy, he cannot be around something unholy. We've damaged our relationship with God-- in fact, we've snapped it in two.
So, because of all the garbage we've gotten ourselves into, God gives us a wage: He pays us death for our sins. That is our payment, that is our punishment. On Judgement Day, God will find us guilty.
Hell is in the sinner's future. Whatever happened to you in this life, Hell is worse.
