Here are some comforting Bible verses that speak about the hope of eternal life with God after we die:
1. **2 Corinthians 5:8** - "Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord."
In this verse, Paul expresses his desire to leave this mortal body behind and be reunited with Christ in heaven.
2. **Philippians 1:21-23** - "For to me, to live is Christ, but to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which was more necessary for you, whether I went on or stayed apart from you? So I strive always to have a desire to preach; not what has been accomplished, but what God has still in store for those who truly love him."
Here, Paul sees death as a "gain" because it means being reunited with Christ and experiencing eternal life.
3. **2 Timothy 4:6-8** - "As for me, my course is run; I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there remains for me this one thing: to declare it once more in the sight of all the assembly of the Gentiles."
In this verse, Paul sees death as a completion of his life's work and a time when he will be rewarded by God.
4. **John 14:1-3** - "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."
Jesus promises his disciples (and us) that when we die, he will come and take us to heaven to be with him.
5. **Luke 16:19-26** - "Now there was a rich man who lived in the town of Lazarus, Abraham! But there was a chasm so deep between them that only angels could cross it. He longed for someone to warn his five brothers, who were still living, but no one would listen. So he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me! Send Lazarus to my brothers and tell them about the wondrous riches God will share with them if they join him in heaven.’ But Abraham said, ‘If they won’t listen to Moses and the prophets, they won’t be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’"
In this parable, Jesus teaches us that when we die, our souls will go to a place where there is no more suffering or pain. We will be reunited with loved ones who have gone before us.
6. **Revelation 21:4** - "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
This verse describes the new heaven and new earth that God will create after we die. It's a place where there is no more suffering, only eternal joy and harmony with God.
