ETERNAL LIFE
I was thinking about my mom, who passed away a little over a year
ago. Though she passed from this life on earth, she’s living in eternity with
all the believers, with Jesus Christ, with our God, animals, flowers, all kinds
of new things to discover, and all things good and beautiful. I was reminded of
the words from a song written by Gerald Crabb and sung by Randy Travis, “Oh
Death:”
“Oh death where is thy
sting, oh grave
Where is thy victory
You thought you had a hold
on me but
You were wrong I’ve been
set free.”
John 3:15 says: “That whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.” We do not perish,
we just pass over. And there’s nothing to fear because the Bible says when we
go to heaven there’s no more sorrow, no pain, only good. Revelation 21:4 puts
it this way: “And God
shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the
former things are passed away.”
Isaiah 11:6-7
tells us there will be a day when:
“The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
and the leopard shall lie down with the kid;
and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
and a little child shall lead them.
“And the cow and the bear shall feed;
their young ones shall lie down together:
and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
With God there is no time. So when we take our
last breath on earth, we are with God. Our next conscious moment we are with
God —I don’t believe there is any conscious floating around time or waiting
time. We die, we awake, and we are in heaven with family, friends, pets, Jesus
Christ, the patriarchs, God Almighty being the center of all, in the most
beautiful and wonderful place ever, beyond anything we can imagine. We get to
do everything we ever wanted to: fish, swim, explore, sing, read, play and so
much more!
When we die, God’s love brings us to an amazing Heaven,
better than we’ve ever imagined, forever and ever.
“Oh death where is thy
sting, oh grave
Where is thy victory
You thought you had a hold
on me but
You were wrong I’ve been
set free.”
Love, Carolyn
