To the family of Richard Martin Conklin
It seems so unfair that death should have the power to take away someone you love. And when it happens, the thought of never again being able to talk to, laugh with, or hold your loved one can be most difficult to bear. But what the Bible teaches about the condition of the dead is comforting. The dead do not suffer pain or heartache, the Bible promises us that one day “death will be no more.” (Revelation 21:4) Many religious leaders falsely claim that they can help those who have died, and people who believe such leaders give them money. But knowing the truth protects us from being deceived by those who teach such lies. We are all prisoners of death. No matter what we do, there is no escape. But Jehovah has the power to release us from death. And he has promised that “the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing.”—1 Corinthians 15:26.
Do you think that we will ever live in a paradise? Jehovah tells us: “I have purposed it, and I will also carry it out.” (Isaiah 46:9-11; 55:11) Yes, he will do what he has purposed, and nothing will stop him. Jehovah says that he created the earth for a reason. He “did not create it simply for nothing.” (Isaiah 45:18)
Richard is resting now, but he will hear the voice of God one day, and answer. YES! he will live again.
Sincerely,
Lucille Warren
