Here are 3 true statements from this article, and what the Bible has to say about it:

1. You Don’t Have to Understand Death to Accept It

Hebrews 9:27: "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment..."

8. Your Body Is Temporary—But Your Spirit Lives On

Matthew 16:26: "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"

12. Death Isn’t an End—It’s a Transition

Luke 42 & 43: "And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise."

Note: This is a conversation between our Lord Jesus and one of the 2 thieves who were crucified with him. Please take the time to read the whole story in Luke 23.

 I recently heard of a Puritan who, on his death bed, was asked if he had anything to say. He replied: "Yes. I've taken all my bad deeds and thrown them in a pile. And I've taken all my good deeds and thrown them in the same pile. And I've run away from that heap into the arms of Jesus where I can die in peace!"
