We encounter one another temporarily because this earth is not a permanent location. We can’t stay here together indefinitely. If we are aware of what the Bible says will happen in the future, we will be at peace when our friends pass away.
Even though we might not be with our friends for a very long time, if we follow what Jesus teaches about our life beyond death, we have a chance to cross paths with them again. We must keep in mind that we will one day meet again in paradise, so we must get ready for that.
In order to enter the region where death will not be able to keep us apart from one another, we must first prove our worthiness. As a result, we must prepare to get there while keeping that promise in mind.
