I would like to express my love and sympathy to the family and friends of Gerald.
It can be difficult to find comfort when grieving over the loss of a loved one. Death is truly our greatest enemy. We can find hope from our loving heavenly father through his word the Bible.
The Bible writer Paul offered hope of relief from that “last enemy,” death. He wrote: “Death is to be brought to nothing.” “The last enemy to be abolished is death.” (1 Corinthians 15:26, The New English Bible)
Why could Paul be so sure of that? Because he had been taught by one who had been raised from the dead, Jesus Christ. (Acts 9:3-19) That is also why Paul could write: “Since death is through a man [Adam], resurrection of the dead is also through a man [Jesus Christ]. For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive.”—1 Corinthians 15:21, 22
In the book of Revelation our loving heavenly father assures us again that in the near future that "death will be no more." (Revelation 21:3,4) He also assures us that, "there is going to be a resurrection." (John 5:29) We can be confident in the fulfillment of these promises for, " God cannot lie." (Titus 1:2)
I hope these scriptures brought you some hope and comfort. If you would like further information about these promises and more please feel free to contact me at Kimsmith90@comcast.net or you may also visit JW.org. You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
