1 Thessalonians 4:13-18: "Brothers,
we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or
to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe
that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will
bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him.
According to the Lord's Own Word, we tell you that we who are still
alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not
precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself
will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of
the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in
Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive
and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to
meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord
forever. Therefore encourage each other with these
words."
1 Peter 1:13: "Therefore, prepare
your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on

revealed."
1 John 3:2-3: "Dear friends, now we
are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made
known. But we know that when He appears, we shall be like Him, for
we shall see Him as He is. Everyone who has this hope in him
purifies himself, just as He is pure."
