Christians Die in Hope Phil. 1:21-23; Col. 1:3-5; 1 Ths. 4:13-16 With the joy of eternal salvation, 1 Ths. 1:10; 5:9-11 With an expectation of resurrection of life, Jno. 5:28-29; 1 Cor. 15:20-22, 51-53; 6:14 With a desire for heaven, 2 Cor. 5:1; Jno. 14:2-3; Heb. 11:

Live Preparing to Die Worldly: “Live it up – don’t think of death.” Atheist: “Live for now – this is all there is.” Fatalist: “Life and death have already been arranged – you can’t change them.” Christian: “Live for heaven – this is not all there is!” When you die and meet the Lord – will you meet a stranger or a friend? Jno. 14:3; Heb. 10:
