Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

70. Romans 14:7-9
71. For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
72. 1 Corinthians 15:22
73. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
75. Everlasting life is something that people around the world are on a quest to develop for themselves. However, everlasting life can only be given by God. But they futilely endure in their pursuit because, probably, like a lot of us, they've faced a broken heart and despair when someone who was close to them died. Going to a funeral is not easy. The mourning of a loved one takes the strength that only God can give.
76. Nevertheless, even in the face of all of this, the Sovereign Lord in His great wisdom, made provisions for us, when He sent the Lord Jesus Christ because the scripture says that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
77. And so, for the believer, even though there may be mourning, and even though there may be crying, we are to have good courage in knowing that death is is not the end. Death is actually an entrance into a closer relationship with God for the Bible says that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

80. Death is not so for the unbeliever though and should be a time of mourning because only faith in the Lord Jesus Christ gives you everlasting life with Him, but to those who do not receive Him, their place is in the lake of fire for death and hell will be cast into the lake of fire!
81. Revelation 20: 12-15 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
82. So God sent His only begotten Son for this purpose - that by faith in Him we might have eternal life. Receive God's gift of eternal life. For God rose Jesus from the dead!
83. And it is my prayer that these Bible passages that we've provided here from the Holy Bible, will help to instil faith, peace, hope, and strength in you, even in the face of trouble and sorrow. The funeral is not the end. You're going to spend eternity somewhere. Faith in Christ ensures that your eternity is spent with God and not in the lake of fire.
84. You can take refuge through faith in God's love and in His salvation that He wrought in Christ by raising Him from the dead.
