WHEN A BELIEVER DIES (1)

‘…You will not grieve like people who have no hope.’

1 Thessalonians 4:13

Our culture makes death a subject to avoid or to speak of with gloom. When the subject comes up, even Christians try to dodge the bullet by escaping into vague, irrelevant-sounding metaphors.

But God’s Word makes death clear and unthreatening for those who trust in Christ. ‘Dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died, so you will not grieve like people who have no hope.’

God’s Word is direct, concrete, and encouraging on this subject. ‘Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His [godly ones]’ (Psalms 116:15 NKJV).

From our heavenly Father’s perspective, death just opens the door for Him to enjoy perfect, eternal, delightful fellowship with each of His redeemed children. ‘I heard a voice out of Heaven, “Write this: Blessed are those who die in the Master…how blessed to die that way!” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “and blessed rest from their hard, hard work. None of what they've done is wasted; God blesses them for it all in the end’’’ (Revelation 14:13 TM).

The Bible assures every believer that their death is not a tragedy but a triumphal entry into heaven. The Amplified Bible puts it: ‘Blessed (happy, to be envied).’

God instructed John, ‘Write this.’ Why? Because God understands that when we lose a loved one we tend to forget His perspective and adopt an emotion-driven perspective.

Rejoice, believer, ‘…Whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord’ (Romans 14:8 NIV). And the Lord takes good care of what belongs to Him!

I been dead both ways !'

When we leave this weak body ! We are with our LORd so quickly ! we go too our home NEW JERUSALEM! We enter into our new bodies which are like His ! We are so happy and full of joy 1 we do not remember the evil things we did here 1 We do remember everything we ever did out of pure love !
We never really die ! We just leave one body to go to enter another Wonderful body 1

New Jerusalem is the place HE went too prepare for us ! The bible tells us it the mother of us all !

A place of great joy and LOVe and Peace ! NO suffering of any kind !

Joh_11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?


Joh_14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Joh_14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.


Heb_12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,

Gal_4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

Php_1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

1Co_2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

Php_1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:

Paul knew! to leave this flesh body was too be right away with our LORD JESUS in The Home He went to prepare for us [New Jerusalem]

But GOD wants us here now ! So He can use us to help others ! He waits 24/7 to teach us if we but ask Him LOTS !He will reveal as much as You are able to accept and live ?

He wants to also be able to reward us one day , in front of the angels and our family in the LORD !
