“Serve God While You’re Still Living, There Is No Repentance In The Grave”

People have been charged to serve God while on earth as there is no forgiveness in the grave.

Clergyman Adedamola O. Akinbadewa said this during a sermon at the funeral ceremony of Mrs. Elizabeth Igbayilola Oluwatade Ariyo at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah Witness, Tutugbua Layout, off Dajuma in Isinkan, Akure.

Ariyo, who died at the age of 90, was the mother of Special Adviser to Ondo State Governor on Energy, Tunji Ariyomo

The pastor said,  “Our existence is not forever and there is no repentance in the grave. The living should imbibe the life of Christ. Humans are mortal because of Adam’s disobedience, which culminated in death, which is now inevitable”

“When we lose our loved ones, it is painful regardless of the person’s age. As Christians, there is hope in the fact that Jehovah gave Jesus Christ to us and through his death, mankind secured the assured hope of resurrection and the assurance of an eternal life…”
