Family and Friends of Mr. Babb,
While I did not personally know Mr. Babb, I have experienced the loss of a loved one. So, it is with heartfelt sympathy that I share God's guarantee regarding death and a resurrection.
Death has always been in our future but this was not God's purpose for mankind. Psalm 34:18 says, "Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit." The Bible assures us that God does care about our pain and grief; so much so that He says 'death is an enemy' and promises it will be 'brought to nothing'. (1Corinthians 15:26) Further, Revelation 21:3,4 says 'death will be no more'.
He guarantees the hope of the restoration of life or as one definition says, "the state of one risen from the dead". Jesus spoke of the resurrection at John 5:21, 28, 29. Jesus himself was resurrected by his Father and performed many miracles including resurrections when here on earth.
So know that while we experience the grief and sadness because of death that God is a promise keeper and we will have the prospect of seeing our loved ones again which not only provides hope for the future but benefits us even now!
May God bless your family and the friends of the deceased in the coming days.........
