Debra Pollard

To Debra’s Family: am deeply sorry for your loss. Right now it feels like you have received a punch in the gut that has taken your breath away. There are no words that can take the pain away or stop your grief….tears and grief are an intrical part of the healing process. It will take some time, but you will learn to breath again, and eventually start to enjoy life again. You might be asking: “Why did Debra have to die?” The answer: Because of the sin of our first parents, Adam and Eve. You see, we were never meant to die. The Holy Bible makes this clear. At Genesis 2:16, 17. Adam was given the command by Almighty God not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and bad. If he ate from it, he would receive the death penalty. Adam had no reason to even touch that particular tree, there was no shortage of food in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:9). But with the temptation of the serpent, (Genesis 3:1-6) who was in reality Satan, “the original serpent” (Revelation 12:9) he, and his wife Eve did eat from the tree, they died and we, as their offspring also die…they could not give us something they no longer possessed. We inherited every kind of sickness and disease because of their diobedience (Genesis 3:17-19)….. That is why the “Son of God was made manifest, to break up the works of the Devil” (1John 3:8). Jesus Christ came to earth to buy back for us what Adam and Eve threw away by disobeying God. Jesus Christ will permanently break up the works of the Devil when he returns our loved ones to us by means of the promised resurrection of the dead. (Acts 24:15; John 5:28, 29; John 6:40). We will then live on a beautifully restored earth where there will never be another loved one taken away from her family (Psalms 37:11, 29; Revelation 21:3, 4; Isaiah 33:24; Isaiah 35:5, 6).
