Your time on earth is limited and your investments on earth are temporary. Death doesn't have to be a tragedy . The death of a righteous person is precious to God. For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. It is a terrible heartache to those who are left behind, but a blessing to the ne who is with the Lord.
Death is abs.
God created man in His image, but we strayed away from Him. Does not mean unbelieving sinners are as bad as they could be. Incapable of acts of kindness, etc. Or cannot appreciate goodness, etc. It does mean none of this has any merit woth God.
