The Bible tells us that we are made in the likeness of God. Job 14:14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. Psalm 73:24 You will guide me with Your counsel, And afterward receive me to glory. 25 Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. 2 !y flesh and my heart fail" But #od is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. John 5:5 "Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice o the !on o "od# and those who hear will live$ 2 $%or as the %ather has life in &imself, so &e has granted the 'on to have life in &imself, 2( $and has given &im authority to e)ecute *udgment also, because &e is the 'on of !an. 2+ $,o not marvel at this" for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear &is voice 2- $and come forth.. those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. %&or %5: 5' /ow this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the 0ingdom of #od" nor does corruption inherit incorruption. 51 2ehold, I tell you a mystery3 We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.. 52 in a moment, in the twin0ling of an eye, at the last trumpet. %or the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 54 %or this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 55 'o when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written3 $,eath is swallowed up in victory.$ 2 6or 134 (lessed be the "od and )ather o our *ord Jesus &hrist, the )ather o mercies and "od o all com ort, 5 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by #od. 5 %or as the sufferings of 6hrist abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through 6hrist. 2 &orinthians 5:% )or we +now that i our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a ,uilding rom "od, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens$ 2 %or in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from

heaven, 4 if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found na0ed. 5 %or we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. 5 /ow &e who has prepared us for this very thing is #od, who also has given us the 'pirit as a guarantee. 'o we are always confident, 0nowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the 7ord. ( %or we wal0 by faith, not by sight. + We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the 7ord. - 8herefore we ma0e it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to &im. 19 %or we must all appear before the *udgment seat of 6hrist, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 2 -im 4 . %or I am already being poured out as a drin0 offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. ( I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have 0ept the faith. + %inally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the 7ord, the righteous :udge, will give to me on that ,ay, and not to me only but also to all who have loved &is appearing. /ev %4 14 8hen I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, $Write3;2lessed are the dead who die in the 7ord from now on.<$ $Yes,$ says the 'pirit, $that they may rest from their labors, and their wor0s follow them.$ =evelation 21 5 $And #od will wipe away every tear from their eyes" there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. 8here shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.$ /evelation 22:% 0nd he showed me a 1ure river o water o li e, clear as crystal, 1roceeding rom the throne o "od and o the *am,$ 2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. 8he leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 4 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of #od and of the 7amb shall be in it, and &is servants shall serve &im. 5 8hey shall see &is face, and &is name shall be on their foreheads. 5 8here shall be no night there3 8hey need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the 7ord #od gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.
