To The Grieving Family of Ms. Florine "Tip" Graves..... A message of Solace at The Time of Your Lost of a Loved One………… Many Wonder: Is There Any Hope for the Dead? WHY THE QUESTION ARISES: We want to live, and we want to enjoy life with those we love. It is only natural that we yearn to see our dead loved ones again. WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES: Most people who have died will be resurrected. Jesus promised that “those in the memorial tombs will . . . come out.” (John 5:28, 29) In harmony with God’s original purpose, those resurrected as humans will have the opportunity to live on a paradise earth. (Luke 23:43) This promised future includes perfect health and everlasting life for obedient humans. The Bible says: “The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it.”—Psalm 37:29. Isn’t this wonderful news! To think, our lost loved ones will have an opportunity for ”Eternal Life” on Paradise Earth at this Resurrection. It is my sincere hope that these words/this knowledge helps to sustain you, your family during your Bereavement… See also Job 14:14, 15; Luke 7:11-17; and Acts 24:15.
