Do
Animals Go To Heaven
When
They Die?
There is a big controversy
over whether or not our beloved companion
animals go to heaven when they pass away.
The entire website agency is dedicated to
such an animal, Candy, a 12 year old Collie
that passed away several year ago.
It is a tough thing to go
through when your best friend dies. The
one who have been there for you every day
for years, waiting for you to come home, wanting
to play and watching over you with a protective
growl when strangers approach. Researchers
say that the grieving process for a companion
animal is equal to and sometimes even greater
than the loss of a human family member.
We must go to the only absolute
source to find the answer to the question,
"Do animals Go To
Heaven When They Die" The Founders of Have
a Heart believe in the absolute and infallible
authority of the Bible. It is here that they
found peace and comfort when their beloved
Candy died. The Holy Scriptures can also be
a source of comfort to you in your sorrow.
Here's
what the Bible says about animals and Heaven:
- The apostle Paul writes: The
creation waits in eager expectation for
the sons of God to be revealed. For the
creation was subjected to frustration, not
by its own choice, but by the will of the
one who subjected it, in hope that the
creation itself will be liberated from its
bondage to decay and brought into the glorious
freedom of the children of God - Romans
8:19-21 NIV.
Animals, according to this
revelation, are now subject to the vanity
and sin of man, but when the human drama is
over and the children of God are revealed,
all the animals that were in bondage will
become partakers of that freedom.
- And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth
and under the earth and such as are in the
sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: "Blessing and honor and glory and power be to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb,
forever and ever!" - Revelation 5:13 NKJ.
Our companion animals will
join us and the Holy Angels in praise and
worship of the Lord for His glorious salvation.
How great is that?
- The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie
down with the goat, the calf and the lion
and the yearling together; and a little
child will lead them - Isaiah 11:6 NIV.
If the "wild" animals are going
to be in heaven, then certainly our beloved
pets will be there too.
You can rest assured that
your beloved companion animal will go to heaven
when it dies, but what about you? Where will you spend eternity?
"For God so loved the world
that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever
believes in Him should not perish but have
eternal life" (John 3:16)
