I don't think you totally understand the Kingdom of God.
You don't exist; you DIED on the cross, Christ ONLY arose.
Galatians 2:20 I am (was) CRUCIFIED with Christ, nevertheless I LIVE, YET NO I, but CHRIST IN ME ..... the NEW CREATION .....
Psalms 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the DEATH of his saints (SEED).
Abraham was PROMISED a SEED, only ONE SEED, the promised SEED ---- CHRIST ----
CHRIST, the promised SEED AROSE, all creation were joint heirs of that resurrection, making them the SEED of Christ.
There is ONLY ONE SEED
Isaiah 59:21 .... this is my covenant with them (Christ's SEED) , My Spirit that is upon thee (Christ), and the words that are in thy (Christ's) mouth, shall not depart out of thy (Christ's) mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy (Christ's) SEED, nor out of the mouth of thy (Christ's) SEED'S SEED, from henceforth and forever
God's Word is full if warnings about the teachings and work's of man.
The only TRUE pastor of the sheep is Christ.
THE WAY is Christ.
We have to UNDERSTAND and BELIEVE what Christ's resurrection ACCOMPLISHED.
YOU DIED on the cross with Christ.
YOU were resurrected with Christ; A NEW CREATION, there was ONLY ONE BODY that was resurrected 2000 years AGO, that BODY was Christ, you SHARED that resurrection with Christ, YOU ALSO became the BODY of Christ.
1 Corinthians 12:27 .... You are the body of Christ .....
Colossians 1:27 ..... this MYSTERY (of the resurrection) .....Christ IN YOU ......
You and Christ became ONE at that resurrection, Christ is now the LIFE in YOU: your HIS BODY.
He is the SHEPHERD of YOUR BODY your body does what the shepherd wants it to do, because Christ is the LIFE in YOU.
Philippians 2:13 For it is GOD that worketh in you (the new creation) both TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.
This truth has to become REAL in YOU; as this TRUTH becomes REAL TO YOU, you WILL SEE with different eyes.
Psalms 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the DEATH of his saints.
You have to BELIEVE God' s word: you DIED: only CHRIST exist, you share that by BEING HIS BODY.
Until then, you body is being lead by by whats described in Jeremiah 23:1-4
1 Timothy 6:16 Christ ONLY hath IMMORTALIY, dwelling in the light ....
1 Corinthians 15 ... this mortal (YOU) shall PUT ON IMMORALITY ..... death is swallowed up in VICTORY .....
You caught up, raptured, translated, into THE PRESENCE of GOD, to forever be the IMAGE of CHRIST, a SON OF GOD.
Suze: It sounds like from your post that Christ has already come the second time.
Hebrews 9:27 And it is appointed unto man (sinful flesh) once to die, but after this judgement (rightfully dividing the word of God, which is truth).
Psalms 37:28 For the Lord loveth judgement ..........
Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered (in the flesh, as sinful flesh) to bear the sins of many (all); and unto them that look for him he shall appear the SECOND TIME (as the Holy Ghost)(as a thief in the night) without sin unto salvation.
Psalms 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death (on the cross, as sinful flesh) of his saints.
Isaiah 26:19 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise ....
Christ arose to a new body that is immortal, as you died with him, you also arose with him, Christ is LIFE and TRUTH, when you depart this fleshly body all that remains is LIFE and TRUTH, as you bear the image of the earthly you will bear the image of the heavenly.
He who is born of spirit IS SPIRIT.
God is Spirit.
Spirit is all the things that can't be seen, life, faith, love, mercy, truth, wisdom, understanding, knowledge, etc.
You will be the image of Christ, because Christ is the image of God.
1 Corinthians 3:21-23 ...for all things are yours ...and ye are Christ's and Christ is God's.
Christ is in creation bringing creation to truth, when you join him you will be doing the same thing.
Hebrews 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God (SPIRIT) the Judge of all, and to the SPIRITS OF JUST MEN MADE PERFECT.
Revelation 10:11 And he (spirit of Christ) said unto me (John) thou (John) prophesy again (as the image of Christ, working in creation, as a ministering spirit) before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
John 1:51 ....Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels (messenger's) of God ascending and descending upon the son of man.
I like all these. I pray for the Lord to give you His strength.
1 Thessalonians 4:14 - For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so THEM ALSO which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him
John 11:25 - Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
Psalms 116:15 - Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints
1 Thessalonians 4:13 - But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Romans 6:23 ..but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Revelation 21:3 - And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
Romans 14:8 - For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, WE ARE the Lord's.
John 11:23 - Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
Psalms 23:1-6 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. (Read More...)
1 Thessalonians 5:23 - And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:51 - Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all SLEEP, but we shall all be changed.
These scriptures are not as well known as Psalm 23; but they offer assurance that you will see your loved ones again. Hold fast to Jesus. Follow Him.
Proverbs 2:8
He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
Psalms 116:15
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
Jude 1:24-25
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and EVER. Amen.
2 Timothy 1:12
For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know WHOM I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able TO KEEP that which I have committed unto him [the soul] against That day. [the day of death]
The awesomeness of God. What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefits toward me. I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all HIS people. My prayed is to be all that has created me to be. I asked the prayers of my brothers and sisters in Christ..
It's true. Once you come to believe in his grace. Of how he came to turn you around for a new life. You will want to praise him. What else can we do to be thankful except live his way and help others.

Psalms 116:15
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
These are comments from others who came in here grieving the death of someone they loved:
Tony pinkney on Psalms 116:15 7 yrs agoThis verse is very soothing to my spirit on september 5th 2004. My mother were ushered into. Heaven to recieve her reward. On today september 5th 2013 im still rejoicing in my spirit because I know that she were saved sanctified and filled with. The precious gift of the holyghost.so all I can say thanks be to. God which has given her the victory.God bless you and may he keep you. Timothy Wayne George on Psalms 116:15 8 yrs ago Precious in the sight of Jehovah, is the death of His saints. When the Lord called my father home to glory, from labor to reward, I thought of this verse. My father had been a Pastor for 27yrs, and a minister for 62yrs. He had been preparing us that the Lord was about to call him home. He told me it is appointed unto us to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and also to suffer for Him. As Paul said I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the Faith. What a testimony to give when facing death. God makes all things beautiful in His time. When we all get to heaven what a day of rejoicing that will be; when we all see Jesus we will sing, and shout the victory!!
JT on Psalms 116:15 8 yrs ago I think this verse means that God is pleased when a Holy Spirit filled believer departs from this earthly life and steps into His Presence.
Mishael: my father was drowning on aspirated food (Alzheimers). An Angel came in the room and said, I'm here to take your Dad. Leave the room. I was gone 3 mins. My Dads face was beautiful with peace and light. That horror was gone. I knew he was with his Lord.
We will see our loved ones again. Have faith. Be strong.
Cathy, I just respond to your question here only, as you've asked a similar question a couple of times. I can see that this issue is troubling you a lot & it is important. When I read about 'forgiveness' in the Bible, whether of God's forgiveness of us or us forgiving someone else, it speaks of an act of love that demands no further repercussions from us. Just as God Who forgives us of our sins when we come to Him in faith because of Jesus' Sacrifice, God's forgiveness then requires that He no longer remains angry with us & that He no longer holds our many sins as still accountable before Him. In other words, when God forgives, He treats us as clean, innocent of all crimes & fully acceptable to Him into His family.
But does God forget? He being God, cannot suddenly have the thought of us just having wronged Him, be obliterated from His Mind - that wouldn't make sense. So, His forgiveness will make us not guilty before Him but not release His Mind from knowing that we were & still are sinners. Even of Jesus when He walked on Earth, it was said of Him in John 2:24,25, "But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men; and needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man." Many people began to believe in Him because of His miracles, but still He did not "commit Himself to them" (or, He didn't put His trust or confidence in their good words about Him), because He knew the true condition of their hearts.
In yours & our situation, we are told to forgive one another & so we should, so that we demonstrate a true heart's response to someone else's wrong against us based on the love of Christ in us. But we need to be prudent, knowing that our hearts are prone to doing evil, & so in our forgiveness of someone else, we remain cautious (i.e. we fully accept that person into our hearts but careful if there happens to be signs of a recurrence of such acts against us). We must forgive but we remain cautious, remembering what we all are.
I would like to clarify the word precious from the original Hebrew,it means costly.It is the same word as precious metals which are costly.When a man or woman of GOD dies it means that there are or is one less or more living believers to sing praises unto HIM,worship HIM,and most important is to be a believing WITNESS FOR HIM.WE are all appointed for death,unless we are alive at the return of our LORD at the seventh trump with our loved ones who have gone before us and are with the LORD. KJV and STRONG'S EXHAUSTIVE CONCORDANCE of the Bible HALLELUIA
I can say , I even lost count of how many times God has saved or helped me , and yet does more when , I get upset , I try to remember all times God has picked me up
Hey Peggy - Hit youtube and type in CUP OF THE LORD
see what pops up. there are a number of times the cup of the Lord is in the Bible.
Psalms 116:13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.
Matthew 20:22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.
1 Corinthians 11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
Thank you Jeffer for sharing your Heart Commitment to the Lord with us. We indeed do have a very Loving and Compassionate Godhead. Our Abba Father gave His All for us yes His much Loved Son Jesus our Lord and Saviour who is One with Him in Spirit and with The Holy Ghost 1Jn5:7 and Jesus our Good Shepherd also chose to die for us even knowing He would be Seperated from His Father because of our Sin, He could have asked to be rescued but He also Loved us Greatly and knew there was no other way for us to be with the Father and be saved.
I was brought down low in confusion and afflictions troubles on every side I didn t know what to do then the Lord in his grace and mercy heard my cry and answered me, he said surly I believe, I am his servant, I belong to him, he heard my voice and I am grateful I will always call upon his Name and Praise him for his loving kindness towards me. Amen

Jehovah hears our prayers and answers them in ways sometimes we don't recognize. He answered Daniels prayers even though it took years to do it. Sometimes Jehovah will say 'No' and we must study to see why this prayer was not answered. Nevertheless, we should always pray because something we asked for may be given.
Psalms 116:1&2
I love the Lord because.
What is our cross for?
