Since the fall of mankind, everyone has had to face death. Death is something many humans grieve and dread. It is the cessation of the phyiscal body, and continuation of the spirit. After the physical body is gone, many of us grieve the person who has “died”. However, we need not be upset if that person is a Christian, for their soul will never die. Instead, their soul will go to heaven, where their bodies will be perfected (no sickness or injuries), and there will be no anger or sadness. They will spend the rest of eternity with Jesus. However, those who are not Chirstians will be judged and sentenced to hell. All Christians fear that and grieve those who were not saved. For any non-Christians who have died, let it serve as a lesson and an example to spread the Gospel and convert people to Christianity. That is the only way we can be saved and spend eternity with Jesus Christ. For those of us who are grieving a loss, we need to trust God and attempt to open our eyes to His plan. Everything has a purpose, and while we may not like what happens, it all pans out to God’s perfect plan.
