This 'child, Parent, GOD' article will be a series appearing here from time to time. The child's question of God or his comment to God was taken from real children. I added the parent or adult thought on the same subject. And, of course, what God had to say about the same subject as written in His holy word.

Dear God, Instead of letting people die and having to make new ones, why don't you just keep the ones you have?....Jane

Parent

Jane, when people die they are merely loosing their earthly body and are now in the spirit, so that death in not final. "Holy God, Heavenly Father... thank you for having made us in you image. We know Lord that we have great value to you or why would you have sent your son down to earth in human flesh to suffer and die for us! God, thank you for the privilege of calling you Father and giving us this one life to live. In Jesus' Holy name we pray! Amen!"

GOD

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness;...." Genesis 1:26 And Jesus said of those who love him..."of those whom thou gavest me I lost not one." John 18:9

Editors comment.
God loved his creation so much that he gave his only son that we might have eternal life. We have a life beyond this world as Jesus promised the thief..."Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise." Luke 23:43 We are unique, one of a kind child of God and are not replaceable.
