Will I see my family members when I die?

Question

I have always believed I will see my family when I die, as long as I am a believer, which I believe I am. What does anybody know or believe on this?

Answer 1

Yes. All of us will see all of our loved ones after the death of this physical incarnation, when we return to the spiritual dimension where we live our true soul lives.

We will see all of our loved ones from both this and all previous lives. We will see all those who have gone before AND after us.

There is no such thing as time in the spiritual dimension. Our souls are eternal, so even if a loved one has not "died" here yet, the soul still lives simultaneously in the spiritual dimension.

Answer 2

Yes and no; you wont see them immediately after death. Jesus described Lazarus, who had died, as "sleeping". That means he wasn't in heaven, hell, or walking about the earth as a ghost. There are also other accounts in the bible where people who have died are said to be sleeping. Like it says in Ecclesiastes 9:5, "For the living know they will die, but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all". However, all the dead ones of the earth will be resurrected at a later time. So eventually, you will see them.

Answer 3

You will be part of a great reunion on that day. The part of you question that is bothersome is where you say that you believe you are a believer. If you don't know for sure you probably aren't. All true believers know for sure without a doubt.

Jesus loves you.

Answer 4

i do not get to make the decision about who receives to bypass the position once they die -- that is perhaps a strong element, because there are an undesirable lot of undesirable drivers in Austin who would get a one way value ticket to Hell (a minimal of for the time of rush hour)! in my opinion -- i believe in an afterlife, and that i imagine an excellent style of people are going to be stunned even as they see who's found in Heaven in the course of the afterlife; and that i imagine which will comprise Christians, Jews, Muslims, Sikhs, pagans, conservatives, liberals, straights and gays -- and atheists and agnostics, in each and each and every of the diverse races! one element, although -- I not in any respect attempt to console someone with "a minimal of they're in a extra acceptable position". that did not do a element to convenience me even as my mom died or maybe as i become widowed; and that i'm not likely to inflict one of those element on somebody else who's grieving! A comforting hug, a trustworthy "i'm so sorry on your loss" and making easily arrangements to save in contact after the inability of existence of a loved one does a lot extra to help the bereaved than "a minimal of now they're in a extra acceptable position".

Answer 5

no, you cannot see them because you are already dead and only the eyes can actually see. other than what you meant about your family seeing is not real.
it's all just beliefs. not the truth.
the purpose of the living is to preserve the family's genes. that's why you are men always been connected by their surnames, to identify which blood line of generation you are member. it's like kind of you called breed in dogs.

Answer 6

Of course you will! I truly believe that when we pass on we are reunited with our loved ones that passed before us (including our pets). I believe this with all my heart and soul. The thought of not being with loved ones for eternity is too painful to imagine. I know that they are waiting for us. Keep the faith!!

P.S. You don't have to be a Christian to go to heaven. I believe if you are a good person, no matter your faith, you will go to heaven.

According to the Bible:

Death is like a deep sleep. (John 11:11-14)

The dead are unable to hear, see, speak, or think anything. (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10)

The dead will live again in the future. (John 5:28, 29; Acts 24:15)

God can awaken those who have died just as surely as you can awaken a person from sleep. (Mark 5:22, 23, 41, 42)

God's purpose for the earth has not changed. He put Adam and Eve on earth with the possibility of living forever as long as they obeyed him. The only command he gave them was not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and bad, which wasn't a burndensome command since they had every other tree to eat from. Had they not eaten from it, they would still be living today - unless they were disobedient at some other point. God's purpose was that Adam and Eve expand the paradise they lived in to encompass the entire earth. Their offspring would have been perfect as they were and would also have lived forever unless they were disobedient.

God's purpose for the earth hasn't changed. He has just had to make adjustments for its fulfillment. At Genesis 3:15 God gave the first prophecy regarding the situation that Satan caused, stating: "And I shall put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed. He will bruise you in the head and you will bruise him in the heel.” The promised "seed" of the woman was Jesus Christ. Christ, as most Christians know, is the promised king of the Kingdom of God that is prayed for in what is known as "the Lord's Prayer" at Matthew 6:9-13. When this Kingom comes as God promised, Jesus will take over kingship of the earth (as opposed to Satan who is now ruling the earth - see John 12:31). When that happens, he will begin his kingship by removing all the wicked who are opposed to God's Kingdom (2 Thessalonians 1:6-8), Satan and his demons will be bound for 1000 years (Revelation 20:1-3) and, once that has been accomplished, those remaining will become reconciled to God and over time become perfect as Adam and Eve were due to the ransom sacrifice provided by Jesus (Revelation 21:3-5). What Adam lost for mankind (a perfect standing before God), Jesus bought back through his perfect obedience even to the point of death (Romans 5:12; see also Romans 6:23). That sacrifice is a blessing to all, but the only way to gain everlasting life in paradise, either by living through Armageddon or by being resurrected into it is by putting faith in that sacrifice and in God's saving power, and also by taking in knowledge of both God and his son, Jesus (John 17:3), (speaking of which, each of us responsible for searching out the one true religion...its like digging for burried treasure (Proverbs 2:4).

Its a lot to take in and it requires a great deal of effort on our part, but if you want to live forever you gotta do it.

Hope this helps. I'd be happy to discuss anything you have question about.

Answer 8

This is correct but the context of your question makes it incorrect. You family is the the Church. Christ is our family. We are all brothers and sisters. When we ascend into heaven, all present are equals, you no longer have mental pictures of your family as you do here in the flesh. God is your Father, all others are brothers and sisters, although gender is not definitive in heaven.

Answer 9

According to scripture, we will see our loved ones but not immediately at death. It will be when Jesus comes back for His followers that we will get to all go back with Him at one time, not like a dripping faucet like most will tell you. See 1 Thess. 4:16-17. At that time, when we all meet in the air and go back to Heaven with Jesus, we will get to meet up with our loved ones. For a complete study on this and much more, go to the site below.

Answer 10

Weep not for those who pass before us but weep instead for those of us left behind. You will see your loved ones when this world is done with you. My wife and I have both been dead and brought back to life in accidents and our family was there to let us know it was not our time to go. When your time comes they will be there to comfort and guide you.
