Death of the Saints 

Saved Christians do not fear the death of the body. They look forward to going to be with God and their loved ones.  For the saved Christian, the death of the body is not a terrible or depressing thing.  The saved Christian has the promises of his/her rewards and life in the ever after. When a saved Christian leaves his body behind, he is gathered and taken away unto his own people.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

Revelation 14:13
And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present 
with the Lord.

some to shame and everlasting contempt.

The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none 
considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.

Matthew 10:28
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him 
which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

 Death of the Wicked

When the wicked (un-saved) man dies, it is a death of hopelessness. The un-saved usually do not look forward to death. For them it is a time of uncertainty and fear, as they prepare to go into eternity not knowing and unprepared.

But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, 
indignation and wrath,

Gentile

of the nations.

Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have 
dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their 
dwelling.

Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come 
up no more.
