Biblical Answer

When you are dying, what should you say to your children?

Firstly, be honest and reassuring with your children about your impending death. Let them know that you love them and that they will always be loved, no matter what. Explain that death is not an end, but rather a new beginning, and that you will be with them in spirit. Use scripture to support your message, such as John 3:16, which says "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." You can also remind them that Jesus will be with them, and that He will call them out of their graves one day. This will give them comfort and hope for the future.

Secondly, encourage your children to pray and seek Jesus for comfort and guidance. Remind them that Jesus is the cornerstone (Ephesians 2:20) and that He is eager to answer their prayers. Encourage them to ask Him for wisdom and boldness to navigate the challenges of life. This will help them to develop a personal relationship with Jesus and to rely on Him for strength and guidance.

Lastly, use this opportunity to remind your children of the importance of living a life that reflects Christian values and teachings. Let them know that they have a choice to make about their own relationship with Jesus, and that they can choose to follow Him and live a life that honors Him. Remind them that they are loved and that they have the power to choose to follow Jesus, even when it's hard. This will give them a sense of hope and purpose for the future, and will help them to navigate the challenges of life with confidence and faith.
