WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
“There
is going to be a resurrection.”—Acts 24:15, New World Translation.
WHAT THAT CAN MEAN FOR YOU
Comfort
when loved ones die.—2 Corinthians 1:3, 4.
Freedom
from a morbid fear of death.—Hebrews 2:15.
A real
hope of being reunited with your dead loved ones.—John 5:28, 29.
CAN WE REALLY BELIEVE WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS?
Yes,
for at least three reasons:
·
God is the Creator of
life. The Bible calls Jehovah God “the source of life.” (Psalm 36:9; Acts 17:24, 25) The One who gave
life to all living creatures is certainly capable of restoring life to someone
who has died.
·
God has resurrected
humans in the past. The Bible reports eight
instances of humans—young, old, male, and female—who were brought back to life
on earth. Some had been dead for a short while, but one had been in a tomb for
four days!—John 11:39-44.
·
God is eager to do it
again. Jehovah hates death; he views it as an enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) He has a longing
to conquer that enemy, to undo death by means of the resurrection. He yearns to
bring back those who are in his memory and to see them live on earth again.—Job 14:14, 15.
TO THINK ABOUT
Why do
we grow old and die?
The
Bible answers that question at GENESIS 3:17-19 and ROMANS 5:12.
