My name is Tricia Mills, you may not know me but I read about the passing of your loved one and if you will permit me I'd like to share some words of comfort. Millions around the world when faced with death ask questions such as, Why do we die? and What happens to us when we die? Religious leaders would have taught us that when someone dies, if they were good, then God has taken that person to be with him but God's word the Bible provides us with sincere and comforting hope about our dead loved ones.
Ezekiel 18:32 " 'I do not take any pleasure in the death of anyone', declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah. 'So turn back and live.' " Romans 5:12 "That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because they had all sinned." God is assuring us here that he is not responsible for when anyone dies rather it is because of inherited sin that we die. God also gives us hope for our dead loved ones, at John 5:28,29 "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." Yes, you can look forward to seeing your beloved 'Sieunarine' again in resurrection, when Jehovah God and his son Jesus Christ, will awaken such ones from their death like sleep.
I am leaving a link below for your reading that will provide you with more information on this comforting hope. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
