Death brings release & removal from all evil, every tragedy & all difficulty. Death is not an enemy.

There is a day coming when all of the suffering, all of the maladies of this life are destroyed, when we, in our glorified bodies, will live in heaven, on the new earth, eternally fulfilling God's ordained purpose for us.

It is only as we focus our thoughts on heaven that we will correctly interpret life on earth.

Believers have a genuine, unfailing hope of a future reunion with loved ones. We can find joy in anticipating our future reunion.

The new earth will be like Eden. ..the deserts will gush with water. ... A beautiful and bountiful land will flourish.

The church is the bride of Christ. The kingdom will be the eternal celebration of the wedding of Christ and the church. We will enjoy rapturous celebration as the bride of Christ in the eternal kingdom.

God prevented Adam & Even from ETERNAL SINFULNESS by giving them the gift of death, the ability to exit this life & arrive safely in the wondrous life to come. Death, though it would appear to be man's greatest enemy, would in the end, prove to be his greatest friend. Only through can we go to God.
