 heard a voice from heaven saying unto me write, "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord; even so, saith the Spirit, for they rest from their labors;" "for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him."

But some child will say, "How are the dead raised up, and with what body do they come?" Dear child, "that which thou sowest is not quickened except it die." Now why do we die? God made us to live forever. It was sin brought death into this world, and all its woes. We are all sinners, therefore we must all die.
