Jesus said,

"He who believes in Me will live even though he dies,... (John 11:25).

Jesus also said, "I tell you the truth, whoever hears My word and believes Him (God)                                                           who sent Me has eternal life and will NOT be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life."                               (John 5:24).

To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8),                                                                               in that "the spirit returns to God who gave it." (Ecclesiastes 12:7).

Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.... (Revelation 14:13).
