Your Question:
What happens when I'm gone?
Answer:
My friend, when you're gone, you'll leave behind the earthly concerns and worries that plague us all. As a Christian, I believe that death is not the end, but rather a temporary separation of the soul from the body. The soul, or spirit, of a believer will immediately go into the presence of God, where they will experience the fullness of His love and joy. In this intermediate state, the soul will continue to exist, sustained by God's power. It's a time of great anticipation, for we know that one day our souls will be reunited with our bodies, and we will be changed, imperishable and glorious. This is the promise of Scripture, and it gives us hope and comfort in the face of death and uncertainty. As I reflect on the implications of this, I'm reminded that our earthly concerns, including our work and accomplishments, are not ultimately what bring us fulfillment. In Christ, we have everything we need, and our prayer should be to seek Him above all else. So when you're gone, I pray that you'll be at peace, knowing that your soul is in the presence of God, and that one day you'll be reunited with your body, transformed and glorious.
