What Will Be Said Of Us When We Die? – Bible study
Have we ever wondered what will be said of us when we depart the walks of this earthly existence? (Hebrews 9:27). What kind of eulogy will be presented on our behalf at our funeral service?
A eulogy doesn’t have to cover every aspect of a person’s life. In fact, the best eulogies are often those that focus on the eulogy-giver’s personal thoughts and memories a time to give thanks for a person’s life and to honor his or her memory.
In addition to highlighting an individuals life and their godly influence on others (1 Thessalonians 1:6-9), the following are some biblical thoughts that might be said of us in eulogy if we have been faithful to the Lord:
- He walked with God (Genesis 5:24; Genesis 6:9; cf. 2 Kings 20:3).
