Dear Family & Friends of Willard Hodge, Although we did not personally know Mr. Hodge, we were certainly sorry to learn of hisunfortunate death. And while we do not know exactly how you feel, God surely knows accurately how you feel. Therefore, His word promises that he will lovingly forever eliminate death. Good news indeed! (1 John 4:8, Isa. 25:8, Rev. 21:3,4, John 5:28, 29) For now though, we naturally mourn the death of someone that we love because God did not create humans to die. Death is not natural because the bible stated at Geneses 1:27 " In God's image He made man". 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 purpose?' The answer is -any defects in humans including death is as a result of human imperfection. (Deuteronomy 32:4) How is that, you may ask? 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 had sinned says Romans 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).Rejoice because that truly is good news! Thanks for reading this message. Please share it with other grieving family members & friends. It is our hope that you've found comfort in God's promises today.
