Jesus Christ said,

"He who believes in Me will live even though he dies,..." (John 11:25).

Jesus said,

"I tell you the truth, whoever hears My word and believes Him (God) who sent Me

has eternal life and will not be condemned;

he has crossed over from death to life." (John 5:24).

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).

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. (Psalms 116:15).

Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord....(Revelation 14:13).
