The Holy Bible says, The righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. (Isaiah 57:1). Making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. (Ephesians 5:16). Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is (Ephesians 5:17 ). Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death. (Isaiah 57:2). IS THERE LIFE AFTER DEATH? Jesus Christ said, "He who believes in Me will live even though he dies,..." (John 11:25). "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).
