For each of us, this planet is merely a temporary residence. As a result of Adam’s sin, God cursed the earth, and death entered man’s life. We only have a few days here and must depart once.
We will all die physically, but believers will be resurrected and reunited with their loved ones in heaven. When the apostles encountered the risen Jesus, they preached this fact. We will be like Jesus, looking forward to seeing our friends and family.
We will be able to overcome the pain of losing someone if we follow Jesus and heed his commands. The following scriptures should be read in order to get the mental power to go through difficult times when we miss someone we care about.
