John 3:36
King James Version
36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life:
and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life;
but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Have you lost a loved one, recently?
Are you still grieving, despite a loved one's passing on, for many years now?
We can't really get over the physical absence of our loved ones.
How we wish to still hold them, care for them, and never let them go.
But, as always, GOD's will be done.
Matthew 6:9-10
King James Version
9 After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done in earth,
as it is in heaven.
Only GOD has TRUE WISDOM.
His ways are in Scripture.
Let's find comfort in these verses, from the LORD JESUS, who assures us of the fate of our departed loved ones.
John 5:25-26
King James Version
25 Verily, verily,
I say unto you,
The hour is coming,
and now is,
when the dead shall hear
the voice of the Son of God:
and they that hear shall live.
26 For as the Father hath life in himself;
so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
John 5:28-29
King James Version
28 Marvel not at this:
for the hour is coming,
in the which all that are in the graves
shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth;
they that have done good,
unto the resurrection of life;
and they that have done evil,
unto the resurrection of damnation.
John 5:19-21
King James Version
19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them,
Verily, verily,
I say unto you,
The Son can do nothing of himself,
but what he seeth the Father do:
for what things soever he doeth,
these also doeth the Son likewise.
20 For the Father loveth the Son,
and sheweth him all things that himself doeth:
and he will shew him greater works than these,
that ye may marvel.
21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead,
and quickeneth them;
even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
John 5:23-24
King James Version
23 That all men should honour the Son,
even as they honour the Father.
He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father
which hath sent him.
24 Verily, verily,
I say unto you,
He that heareth my word,
and believeth on him that sent me,
hath everlasting life,
and shall not come into condemnation;
but is passed from death unto life.
John 5:39-40
King James Version
39 Search the scriptures;
for in them ye think ye have eternal life:
and they are they which testify of me.
40 And ye will not come to me,
that ye might have life.
John 3:16
King James Version
16 For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
John 10:10
King James Version
10 The thief cometh not,
but for to steal,
and to kill,
and to destroy:
I am come that they might have life,
and that they might have it more abundantly.
John 11:25-26
King James Version
25 Jesus said unto her,
I am the resurrection,
and the life:
he that believeth in me,
though he were dead,
yet shall he live:
26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me
shall never die.
Believest thou this?
Matthew 4:16-17
King James Version
16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light;
and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death
light is sprung up.
17 From that time Jesus began to preach,
and to say,
Repent:
for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
And let's not forget what apostle Paul said about the RAPTURE:
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
King James Version
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven
with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel,
and with the trump of God:
and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air:
and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Let us also comfort each other with what apostle Paul said in Scripture, whether people are "asleep" while alive, or whether they have already truly passed on from this life:
1 Thessalonians 4:13-14
King James Version
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant,
brethren,
concerning them which are asleep,
that ye sorrow not,
even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again,
even so them also which sleep in Jesus
will God bring with him.
JESUS was given authority, to judge us all.
John 5:22
King James Version
22 For the Father judgeth no man,
but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
John 5:27
King James Version
27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also,
because he is the Son of man.
John 5:30
King James Version
30 I can of mine own self do nothing:
as I hear,
I judge:
and my judgment is just;
because I seek not mine own will,
but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
John 6:37
King James Version
37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me;
and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
John 6:38-40
King James Version
38 For I came down from heaven,
not to do mine own will,
but the will of him that sent me.
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me,
that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing,
but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me,
that every one which seeth the Son,
and believeth on him,
may have everlasting life:
and I will raise him up at the last day.
All the posts the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD and I have been writing, for nearly 26 months now, were meant for AWARENESS, and PREPARATION.
Of how important it is to be born again.
That we may know the ways of SPIRIT.
That all may come to know, the WORD of GOD.
And LIVE by it.
Making us worthy of the LORD.
And the time to do so, is now.
For the return of the LORD, through the RAPTURE, is surely imminent.
