Comfort to the Dying

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.

So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.

If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. …

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me will live, even though he dies.

And everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”

For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And I heard a voice from heaven telling me to write, “Blessed are the dead—those who die in the Lord from this moment on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labors, for their deeds will follow them.”
