B.D.-No. 1901
Whoever believes in Me has eternal life.... Behold, it was My will to take away the sting of death so that My children.... the people who cling to Me.... will not have to taste the horrors of death, for faith in Me painlessly detaches the soul from the body and it soars upwards. And for this I gave My life on the cross so that My children would not taste death.... My earthly body willingly bore all pain so that My children would not have to suffer, so that through their faith in Me they could painlessly enter eternity.... So he who believes has eternal life, for his faith is the concession of his desire for Me. The child has overcome the separation and found its way home to the father.... And therefore I bless all those who believe.... for they are in truth My children to whom I open the gates of paradise. And so whoever has gone home in the deepest faith in Me, his creator and saviour, whoever has loved Me and striven for Me, I will receive him into My father's house; I will lead him into the kingdom which I have prepared for all who believe.... For whoever believes in Me will also strive to keep My commandments, and I will bless his will.... The death of the body is therefore not to be feared, it only clears the child's path to the father, and My love draws the soul upwards. As soon as the soul separates from the body it will be guided upwards by My servants into a region which is full of light and clearly the soul's future abode. And that is why you should not grieve on earth, for what the soul leaves behind on earth is void. I gave you life in order to take it from you.... and I take it from you in order to be able to give it back to you in all glory....
Amen
