Dear Family & Friends, Although we did not know Virginia "Ginny" Mae Campbell Ketchum, we were sorry to learn of her unfortunate death. And while we do not know exactly how you feel, God knows accurately how you feel and He promises that He will not only bring an end to death, but also resurrect those who have fallen victims to it. (Rev. 21:3,4, John 5:28, 29) It is only natural that we mourn the death of someone that we love because God did not create humans to die. As you probably know, the bible said in Geneses 1:27 " In God's image He made man" and God lives forever. Since we were created in His image, we too were created to live forever. You may ask: 'Then, why do people die if it was not in God's original plan?' Any defects in humans including death is as a result of human imperfection. Deuteronomy 32:4exclaims "that all of God's works are perfect". and verse 5 says that "the defect (or imperfections) is our own". But how is that so? Do you remember the account in Genesis when God told our first perfect human parents, Adam & Eve to be obedient and not eat from nor touch a certain tree in The Garden of Eden? They sinned by disobeying, passing on sin to us. Thus, death spread to ALL men as if we ALL committed that original sin (Roman 5:12). Will this continue forever? No. For death is an enemy says the bible and all of God's enemies WILL be brought to nothing! (1 Cor 15:26). That truly is good news! Thanks for reading this letter. Please share it with other grieving family members & friends. It is our hope that you've found comfort in the scriptures today. Sincerely, The Crump Family
