The Holy Bible says,
That is why the Good News was preached to those who are now dead;
so although they were destined to die like all people,
they now live forever with God in the Spirit. (1 Peter 4:6).
To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8),
in that "the spirit returns to God who gave it." (Ecclesiastes 12:7).
And I declared that the dead, who had already died,
are happier than the living, who are still alive. (Ecclesiastes 4:2).
Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord....(Revelation 14:13).
