The Positives of Death

Death has a profound effect upon many dreaded thoughts come upon the mind but why is this? is it really the end? the holy scriptures show how we're blind God makes clear in His holy word there's a hell to shun and heaven to gain whatever our beliefs we will move on so put into focus what's in our brain When we look at this world's state as it gradually worsens all the more would we want to stay here forever? I think not! please open earth's door When we have the good sense from above to obey and follow the sovereign Lord receiving the promises He will do our spirit and heart strikes a chord Death has it's positives for the next world's better leave this one taking nothing believing all of God's letter (Just some thoughts on death and some positives that can come from it.)

Great thoughts here. If we take the Bible as his word, we must be hopeful. The assurance of salvation comes in Christ. John penned in 1 John 5: 12: Whoever's has the Son, has life. This is eternal life. I agree with you. For the believer, death is not the end. Blessings.

Hi Gordon, I do enjoy all your poetry but not sure where I will be going - hopefully to heaven, but I cannot be sure, how can anyone be, have we not said a bad word, or not helped when we should have, or perhaps make fun of someone or boast, or not said I love you often enough to family, or not gone to Church for a while, so all I can say is one day when my time comes, will I know the answer. A brilliant poem Gordon and very deserved to be chosen as POTD - Congratulations my friend, xx Jen.

Hi Jennifer, Glad you enjoyed this one and thanks for the congratulations on the POTD. On the matter of assurance, I believe one who believes on Christ and his work of atonement on the cross to save us from our sins. I'll send you a soupmail to give you links to some good articles on the subject . Hope you're coping with all the Coronavirus that's going on around the world. Keep well and healthy, Blessings always, xx Gordon

I love this, I at times feel like death is more rewarding than life in the sense that we return to a place where our souls are free from all earthly burdens. Excellent write and congrats Gordon!

There is life and then death. I believe there is a place of rest, which is Heaven and a place of torment, which is Hell. Congratulations Gordon, on Poem of the Day. ~ Brandy

It's often been said that we're only just passing through and that death is the next phase of our existence, it's not something to be feared. Congratulations Gordon on POTD. Tom
