Mark 12:24-27
24 Jesus answered and said to them, “Are you not therefore mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God? 25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 26 But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him, saying, “I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’ ? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. You are therefore greatly mistaken.”
We may say that we will join our loved ones in heaven, but Scripture reminds us that they not only must be His, but that we also will not be as man and wife there; like angels, we will live forever with no need to procreate, and God Himself will be our spouse - we are the bride of Christ. We will rise again, live forever with Him, and the eternity we share with each other will be filled with joy together in His presence.
