Christ chose us (the church – 1 Cor.10:32) before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love (Eph.1:4), and He gave those He chose eternal life (Jn.10:28-29, Jn.3:36, Jn.17:2).
Having been given eternal life, we in Christ Jesus are passed from death unto life (Jn.5:24) immediately upon death, never to die, to live with God in Eternity (Isa.57:15), in His kingdom (Dan.7:18, Dan.7:22), an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled that does not fade away (1 Pe.1:3-4).
We are of the household of God (Eph.2:19).
I believe that all our saved family members will be with us in God’s kingdom, those that went before us and those who will come after us. I believe we will have fellowship with our entire lineage of those in faith from beginning to last.
In the height of heaven (Job 22:12), in the third heaven (2 Cor.12:2) God inhabits eternity (Isa.57:15) and dwells in Zion (Joel 3:21, Ps.23:6), the city of the living God (Heb.12:22).
