DAY SIX: Your Loved One’s Salvation

Many people wonder whether their loved one was saved at the time of their death. If you face that uncertainty, your grief may be especially painful. You may wrestle with even more questions about God as a result. 

Remember that God is not looking for a reason to keep your loved one out of heaven; He’s looking for any possible reason to bring him or her in. He desires for your loved one to spend eternity with Him even more than you do. 

Your loved one’s eternal destiny was decided at the time of his or her death. But you don’t know what may have transpired between your loved one and God during the last moments of his or her life on earth. 

It only takes a moment for a person to say yes to Jesus. And as with the thief on the cross, when a person calls out to Him, Jesus always says yes. That yes is the only thing that decides your loved one’s eternal destiny. 

And when you get to heaven and are able to ask Jesus all your remaining questions, you will be able to say, “He has done all things well.” Your loved one’s eternal destiny is safe with Him.
