is nothing to fear for those who believe in God . . . for it is a natural transition to eternal life.
It is only after one acquires a correct perspective of life
and death that life can be lived to the fullest.
For true believers in God,
"To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." 2 Corinthians 5:8
The death of a loved one is a life-changing experience. God sees each tear and
hears each expression of grieving and He knows what a joyful reunion awaits true
believers. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, the dead who are true believers
will be raised to life incorruptible. cf. 1 Corinthians 15:52
Neither death nor life nor height nor depth shall be able to separate us from the love
of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. -Romans 8:37-39
Why are you cast down, O my soul? Hope in God. -Psalm 42:11
