Losing a Loved One
Spiritual Perspective
Tragedy strikes hard, bringing immediate, intense pain when losing a loved one. Tears may come, but God's comfort brings peace, helping you focus on His presence and hope.
Death was not God’s idea—He is the God of life. The enemy brought death to humanity, but death will not win in the end. God’s plan for eternal life gives us hope and comfort, knowing our loved ones live on in His presence.
Spiritual, Tangible Realm
Only the earthly body dies. Your loved one continues to live in the spiritual realm, as their soul and spirit move to a place as real as our world. Earth was created from the spiritual realm, each holding profound reality.
Life on Earth is temporary for us all. For Christians, earthly death is a doorway. As painful as loss is, death is an entry into a spiritual realm where God dwells. Eternal life is knowing the only true God and Jesus Christ (John 17:3).
The 'spiritual tangible realm' is a non-physical dimension, considered as real and substantive as our material world. Though usually invisible, it energizes and sustains the physical realm— the primary reality from which all physical life originates.
God's Promise, NO MORE DEATH
God's promise that one day, death will be no more, affirms His victory and gives hope for eternal life.
Remember God is walking beside you, crying with you.
Jesus wept at Lazarus's tomb, sharing the pain of his sisters, even knowing He was about to raise Lazarus from the dead (John 11:35).
His presence can bring peace, even if you can't feel it now. His comfort is always near. He will never leave you or forsake you.
His Word is true, His promises they shall come to pass:
It is written, “God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying, nor shall there be any more pain: for the former things have passed away.
He who sits on the throne proclaims, ‘Behold, I make all things new.”
Revelation 21:4-5
Christians grieve differently because they have hope in the resurrection.
The Bible hub version says it this way: " 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind who have no hope.
Just as Jesus died and rose again, God will bring with him those who have passed away in Christ.”
LOSING A LOVED ONE
Jesus Will Bring Them Back With Him
1 Thessalonians 4:14 (NKJV) "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus."
Revelation 21:5 (NKJV)
Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”
By the Lord saying, “These words are true and faithful,” He was saying that this would certainly come to pass.
Surely, He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows. Isaiah 53:4
God dwells within us and feels our pain. Jesus shows compassion to the brokenhearted: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted” (Matthew 5:4). The Lord is near to those who grieve, offering hope beyond death.
God is with us from the beginning, and when the intensity of natural sorrow eases, we can exchange our grief for the peace of God.
We can give our grief to Jesus and let Him take it. He comforts us through our pain, wanting to console those who mourn—promising beauty for ashes, joy for mourning, and praise for heaviness.
Again, the Lord tells us in Revelation 20:14 that death will be thrown into the lake of fire, where it is destroyed forever.
We have this hope, this earnest expectation to look forward to. There will come a time when there will be no more death.
We naturally look for answers and strive to understand, but some things are beyond our grasp.
The story of Job in the Bible may be helpful as we walk through times of great trouble.
The Story of Job
A very short version of the story of Job:
Robbers killed Job's servants and stole his livestock. Then a great wind destroyed the house where his seven sons and three daughters gathered, killing them all in one day.
At first, Job said, "The Lord has given, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.
Job then suffered painful boils. His wife urged him to curse God and die. His friends questioned what he had done wrong. Still, Job remained faithful to God.
Job trusted God's righteousness and began to question, asking, “God, why?” We may not get answers. Job focused on his losses, which did not help his grief
Trust God.
Jehovah began to speak to Job. Jehovah means ‘I Am,’ ‘The Eternal Living One,’ or ‘self-existent, Creator. He reminded Job to focus on who God is. God’s creation constantly speaks to us of God's majesty.
God helped Job refocus on God’s greatness and reminded him that, as only a man, he cannot judge the Almighty. We can trust God to work all things for good. Job did not understand why, but refocused on God and trusted Him.
At the end of the story, God gave Job twice as much as he had had before. We Can Trust God.
For God, Nothing Is Impossible
Your loved one has returned to the realm from which we all came. You will either join them, or Jesus will bring them back when He returns. You haven’t lost them; you know where they are and will see them again.
For with God nothing will be impossible.” Luke 1:37 (NKJV) If you have any doubts about that, (read more), believe God and be comforted.
As for your loved one, it’s not goodbye;
it’s,"I’ll see you later."
