Katie and I spent the day with Mom, up at the house, and we bought tickets to fly to Dallas tomorrow morning in order to attend the funeral on Monday. We'll miss Grandpa a lot, but we know that he trusted Christ. Just a couple of weeks ago I spoke with him on the phone, and he reminded me that, so far as salvation is concerned, God is not interested in what we have done to please Him, but only that we trust what Christ has done for us.
Philippians 3:20 says, regarding believers, "For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself." Grandpa had the eternal hope that is promised to everyone who trusts Christ to save them from their sin.
