Bible Question: I know this might seem really odd to be asking and please forgive me if I seem odd, but just 5 weeks ago I lost three important people to me in a fatal car accident. I know God has a set date for all of us to leave this Earth but it's hard to believe he'd take a 2 year old little girl and her 21 year old mom. Much less a 25 year old man with a 3 year old boy. Everyone has told me it wasn't their day but it was.. my qestion is...is there anyway of knowing if they went to Heaven? Is there really such a place? When I die and go to Heaven will I see them? God wouldn't do something like this would he? Any thoghts and answers will be greatly apperciated. Thank you in advance. Any verses I can read will be a big help. God bless you. |
Bible Answer: I can tell you this, the children are in heaven. They are innocent and they haven't committed any sins that they are accountable for. For the adults to go to heaven they must have accepted Jesus Christ as thier savior. IF they have done that then Paul said that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I have also been taught that when we go home our loved ones will meet us to welcome us. I don't want to give you false hope, but if you know they were saved in this life then you know they are alive in heaven. Have you accepted Jesus? |
