In today's inflated costs of burial it appears that cremation would be the most financially responsible course to choose. I had struggled with this issue for years, as we are supposed to be followers of Christ, and His example. Jesus went to the grave, which makes sense that we should do as He did, yet for a good percentage of Christians the cost of a traditional burial is cost prohibitive and/or puts a financial burden upon families that could be avoided somewhat, if the less expensive cremation were chosen.
Above all else, God knows our hearts, and He will resurrect us no matter how we die or how we're buried. The important thing is that we are His and NOT the world's. Again, what I had just shared were my own thoughts.
His blood covers you, his house, and DEATH passed over you.
You DIED with Christ your were resurrected with Christ, YOU became a new creation, by your and Christ being resurrected as ONE BODY.
Your body of flesh and blood will return to the dust from when it came.
When your body of dust ceases to be, you will be translated, in the blink of an eye, into the presence of God.
1 Corinthians 15:54 ....Death is swallowed up in victory .....
1 Corinthians 15:.... this mortal shall PUT ON immorality .....
1 Timothy 6:16 ....Christ ONLY hath immorality, dwelling in the light .....
I Corinthians 15:49 ...as we have borne the image of the earthly, we shall bear the image of the heavenly ....
1 Corinthians 15:38 ...But God giveth it (the new creation, resurrected with Christ) a BODY as it hath pleased him, and to every SEED his OWN (resurrected) BODY.
You were crucified with Christ, your were raised with Christ, THE GIFT OF GOD.
You are saved by grace, God's unmerited favour toward you, his love for you.
