Why Did God Take Grandpa To Heaven?
Answer: We don’t like to think about this fact, but it is true-eventually every person has to die.
Sometimes people die when they are young, through accidents, diseases, or other tragedies.
But even the healthiest person will die someday. As we get older, our bodies get weaker and weaker and then finally wear out.
No one wants a grandfather or grandmother to die, but that’s part of God’s plan right now: We get old and our bodies die. Certainly it is better to be with God in heaven than to be on earth.
If our grandparents believe in Jesus, then someday we will see them again.

How Can Jesus Resurrect Bodies That Have Been Burnt To Ashes?
Answer: God will have no trouble finding everyone’s molecules.
He created people in the first place, so why wouldn’t he be able to put them back together?
It doesn’t matter what happens to a person’s body-God can put anyone back together.
Whether the person’s body was burned, separated for organ donations, or decayed in the ground, God will make it new and immortal.
The earth and sea will give up their dead, and God will resurrect us despite the fact that we “returned to dust.”

Then we who are alive and remain on the earth will be caught up with them.

Why Do People Believe In Reincarnation?
Answer: Reincarnation is the belief that people come back to life after they die.
They never really die once and for all but keep coming back as something else or as someone else.
This belief says that people come back to earth as different creatures after they die.
Some people believe in reincarnation because their religion, such as Hinduism or Buddhism, teaches it.
Some believe in reincarnation because they want to believe that they will get a second chance on earth to be better people.
But the Bible does not teach reincamation. The Bible teaches that we have one life and then we face judgment.
Key verse: It is planned that men die only once. And after that comes judgment. (Hebrews 9:27)

If you die, can you come back as a different person? What does the Bible say about reincarnation?
Note to parents: Some children misinterpret the term born again to mean reincarnation.
You can explain that being born again means to be bom into God’s family, not to come back as a different person later.
Being born again happens when we trust in Jesus Christ as Savior. It’s not reincarnation.
