Most people are scared of dying.

Moondoong, dictators along with false religion can hold entire nations in subjection, people being afraid to maintain cherished principles of righteousness by speaking out or taking an open stand. Once Hitler was given legitimacy by religion it took a courage that few could muster to stand firm for Bible principles. The Bible describes the Devil, the great prison keeper, as controlling “ all those who were held in slavery all their lives by their fear of death." - Hebrews 2:15.
If people had a true knowledge of the resurrection they could be free from such fear. Hence the life-or-death need of this knowledge. Without such understanding and faith the Christian cannot maintain integrity.
