The Bible doesn’t say much explicitly about dead relatives, but there are some passages that give us an idea of what God thinks about them. In general, the Bible teaches that the dead are separated from God and that there is nothing we can do to change that. Dead relatives cannot intercede for us with God, and we should not try to contact them through spiritism or divination.
What does the Bible say when a loved one dies?
“Then he said: Do not pray for this town anymore. Do not pray for them, for I will not hear their cries when they have to cry out to me because of their calamity. When they eat what their sweat gives them and drink their own urine, it will be because they have abandoned the LORD, the source of living water. Jeremiah 15:1-4
Death is a natural part of life, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to accept. When you lose a loved one, it is normal to feel pain, sadness and anxiety. The Bible offers hope and comfort for those who are suffering.
“Then Jesus said: Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
Jesus promises to ease our suffering and give us rest. He understands what we are going through because he suffered too. He was betrayed, rejected and died on a cross, but he rose again and defeated death. In our affliction, we can turn to Jesus and find comfort in his love.
“Because we know that if our earthly house, this body that we inhabit, is destroyed, we have an eternal building in heaven, made not by human hands, but by God. And at this moment we cry, but we are full of hope, because we know that even if we cannot be with Jesus in this body, he has prepared a place for us in his eternal home ». 2 Corinthians 5:1-2
Death is a bridge that leads us to eternal life. Although we are separated from our loved ones when they die, we know that we will meet them again. We can have hope because Jesus has promised us an eternal home with him.
What happens after death according to the Reina Valera 1960 Bible
Death is the end of life in this world, but it is not the end of everything. The Bible teaches that after death there is a judgment, and after the judgment, there is an eternity in heaven or hell.
The Reina Valera 1960 Bible is clear about what happens after death. First, there is a trial. All who have lived in this world will have to appear before God to render an account of their lives. God will be the judge, and he will determine if people have been fair or unfair.
After the judgment, the people who have been righteous will go to heaven, where they will be with God forever. In heaven, people will enjoy an eternal life of happiness, peace, and love.
On the other hand, people who have been unjust will go to hell, where they will be forever separated from God. In hell, people will suffer eternal punishment for their sins. Hell is a place of torment and pain, and it is a place for the wicked.
The Bible teaches that death is not the end of everything, but rather the beginning of an eternity in heaven or hell. People who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior are sure to go to heaven, but people who have not accepted Jesus are doomed to hell.
What does the Bible say about family members?
The Bible does not say much about the concept of “family” as we understand it today. However, there are some references to relatives in Scripture. For example, in Matthew 10:21, Jesus tells his followers, “Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” Jesus here emphasizes that the true family is one that is united in Christ. The Bible also says that members of God’s family are to love one another (John 13:34-35).
In 1 Timothy 5:8, Paul instructs believers: “If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for his household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.” Paul here emphasizes the responsibility we have to care for our family members. The Bible also says that we should honor our parents (Exodus 20:12).
In conclusion, the Bible teaches that we should love our family members, care for them, and honor them. However, the true family is one that is united in Christ.
What will we see in heaven?
Although many believers have different expectations of what we will see in heaven, the Bible gives us a pretty clear idea of what to expect.
First, we will see Jesus. After all, he is the reason for our hope (1 Peter 1: 3-5). We will not only see his face, but we will also have the opportunity to be in his presence. This is something that many believers deeply long for.
We will also see our loved ones who have passed away. Although the Bible does not say much on this subject, we can be sure that our loved ones who have accepted Jesus will be there. We will not only see their faces, but we will also have the chance to hug them and be with them forever.
Another thing that we will see in heaven is the city of God. The Bible describes the city of God as a beautiful place, without darkness, without disease, and without pain (Revelation 21:1-4). We will also have a perfect body and a perfect mind. We won’t have to worry about a thing in the city of God.
In short, heaven will be a beautiful and perfect place. We cannot imagine what awaits us, but we know that it will be much better than we can imagine.
In general, the Bible does not say much about dead relatives. However, there are some verses that give us an idea of what God thinks about them. For example, in Ecclesiastes 9:5, we read: “For the dead know nothing, nor have they any reward; for his memory is forgotten.” This seems to indicate that, for God, the dead are as if they did not exist. However, in Luke 16:22-31, Jesus tells us the story of a man who dies and goes to Hades. This seems to indicate that although the dead are unaware of what is going on in this world, they still exist somewhere else.
