God Will Bring With Him
Those Who Have Died
But
we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sister, about those who have
died, so that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we
believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring
with him those who have died. For this we declare to you by the word of the
Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will by
no means precede those who have died. For the Lord himself,
with a cry of command, with the archangel’s call and with the sound of God’s
trumpet, will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then
we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up in the clouds together with
them to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will be with the Lord forever.
Therefore encourage one another with these words.
There are many who exercise. They go
to the gym. They work out. They walk. They watch what they eat. Under the best
of circumstances they may add ten months to their lives. At the worst, they
have no control over their health because they may have a heart attack and die
or die from cancer.
If you really want to make a
difference in your “life,” focus on your eternal “life.” By accepting Jesus,
you can live eternally – forever.
Give your life
to Christ and you will keep it forever.
