There are many Bible verses about death, including verses about grief, comfort, and the meaning of life:
  • John 11:25-26
    Jesus says, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die”.
  • Psalm 23:4
    This psalm discusses the relationship between the Lord and those who have died, and how the Lord is present throughout the journey of death.
  • Psalm 116:15
    This verse promises that if a loved one was a believer, God will treasure their rebirth into eternal life with him, and that the loved one will be seen again one day.
  • Philippians 1:21
    This verse states, “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain”. Some say this verse is a profound statement about the meaning of life and death.
    Heaven is a prepared place, are you prepared for heaven?

Mourning is the state of being in deep grief. We mourn over a profound loss, such as the death of a loved one or a crippling accident. We also mourn over our own sins or mistakes. We mourn for the purity of heart we once enjoyed or for a future our choices have destroyed. Mourning is part of being human. It is an expression of our hearts when something we value has been taken from us. It can also be a way to convey our agreement with God’s moral law that we have violated. Mourning, although painful, can help us align our hearts with the heart of God: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted” (Matthew 5:4). More Here
