“I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never die.” John 11: 25 & 26
“The body without the spirit is dead. ” James 2:26
“Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was; and the spirit shall return to God who gave it.” Ecclesiastes 12:7
Believers never die. They just relocate. We are all spiritual beings. When our body gives out and the Lord our God says our mission on this earth is finished, then our spirit returns to the one who gave it. We go directly into the presence of the Lord our God. We no longer live on this earth but in a much better location, heaven itself. As humans it is very natural for us to miss those who move away. It is natural to feel a sense of loss and a feeling of sadness in our own life. That is why our God gives us ways to grieve and to heal. However, if we look at death as it is, a transfer of live from one location to another, then we will better understand, that as born -again believers, we will again reunite with our loved ones and rejoice. Death is not the end all. It is not to say “good-by” but instead to say, “see you soon”. Those of our family who have relocated before us have done just that. They have relocated and have gone to be with the one who created and gave them to this earth. So, as we believe in the life and the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who went to set at the right hand of God the Father, then we must also believe that we too will die and go immediately to be with our Lord God in heaven. Remember, we must not say “good-by but instead say, “see you soon.” PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
