It
is often stated upon an individual’s death, "They are in a better
place." This however, is an errant, and refutable statement in many cases,
as death does for many lead to hell for the rest of eternity.
It
is so important that we do the utmost to encourage others and our loved ones to
become saved, and live GOD glorifying lives, prior to death, so that they do
receive the reward of eternal heavenly bliss.
Furthermore,
we must endeavor to live lives previously described, so that we to attain said
reward and thus can be reunited with our loved ones and friends who have gone
on before us.
For
the other option, is an eternal existence in hell--which is not, a better state
of being, and lasts just as well for the rest of eternity.
The
rest of eternity in hell--just the thought brings tears to my eyes. As I desire
that not even for my worst enemy, and even less for my loved ones and friends.
Thus,
let us who are enlightened, endeavor to do all we can to help others avoid such
a fate.
First
by the example, we set with the way we live our lives and by sharing the Gospel
with all we can, whenever we can.
