Mark 12:27 – In Christ we are alive, not dead even after our natural death. Spiritually we live. John 2:3-5 – Jesus answers Mary’s intercession. We too should go to Mary to ask her for her prayers. “Do whatever he tells you.” Mary to the head waiter. Romans 8:35-39 – Death does not separate the communion of the body of Christ because we are united in Christ. Ephesians 3:14,15 – We are all one family united together, whether we are on heaven or on earth. Colossians 1:18,24 – We are the body, Jesus is the head of the church. 1 Corinthians 11:1-3 – We should imitate Paul as he imitates Christ. 1 Cor 12: 25 the Church is the body of Christ and there must be no discord, but they must care for one another. Immediately applies to the saints on earth and also applies to saints in heaven as the Church is ONE and HOLY. 1 Peter 2:5 – We should offer spiritual sacrifices to God as one holy priesthood. 1 Timothy 2:1-3 – Paul urges intercessions and prayer be made for all people.
