Job 12:7-10 ESV 7 But ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you; 8 or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you; and the fish of the sea will declare to you.
9 Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? 10 In His hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind.
About This Book:
This simple book covers what the Bible actually says for those Christians suffering grief after a pet loss. It is written for simple and easy comprehension to anyone ages 12 to 120. No artificial intelligence was used in any of the writing and research for this book.
The mission for Will Fido Go To Heaven is to give a solid comfort and hope in a future to see your furry friends in heaven using the Bible’s own words, not just hopeful feelings.
The study and writing method always used from the author is to first look at Bible. To see God’s words about God Himself as the creator, then God’s words for man, and finally God’s words about the creation and all living creatures. In this book, the English Standard Version (ESV) Bible has been chosen to view scripture. But if not familiar with this study Bible version, please also test the ESV against other standard versions such as KJV, NKJV, NIV, NASB, etc., for further confirmation.
This book has an even deeper purpose beyond pet grief and loss. That would be to give the reader a new purpose and desire to open and study the Bible for themselves. Then explore beyond the main stories chosen, along with the promises and topics covered in the pages. To see the real care and love God has for everything He created. Then to challenge and ask a trusted preacher or biblical teacher, for their prospective and further understanding.
In my humble opinion, this work also should be a reminder for all humans. We have forgotten in our sinful and arrogant nature to think that we as humans are the only ones to suffer. We tend to forget that all of creation suffers and is bound in curse because of our sin. But it is made plain in the Bible that not some, but all await His redemption. Instead, we tend to only think about the rewards given to us in Heaven, a possible mansion that awaits, and what and who we will rule over. So glad our Father is in charge and we are so lucky that Jesus died for us! He has promised to make us new and to make all things He created, new.
From the beginning of the Bible you will find the love of the Father for not only mankind but also for His creation of all living things. Even in many of His covenants and promises to mankind, God also
specifically added all animals and all living creatures - a solid hope for the future. Not my words, but in the words He gave to us in the Bible, promising redemption for all creatures.
When exactly are your animals restored and how are they restored? In Heaven and the new earth it states there will be no more curse, but it also says that not even one sparrow falls to the ground apart from the Father. So no matter the timing and how, and when, please have faith. We have the promise of Father that He will care for all creatures. God says He will be with them and restore them. In His way and in His
time…
After seeing the actual Bible verses about living creatures along with personal thoughts in the linked book for Will Fido Go To Heaven, it is my prayer that you will research and find additional Bible verses and stories to build your faith. Hint - I left some verses out including two shown here on this page. In the coming months I will try to add additional pages along with your comforting Bible scriptures, plus a place for you to leave a photograph with comment to honor your furry friends if so desired.
By always praying first for guidance and then opening the Bible, this will be the start of an amazing journey that maybe we can start together. Encouraging, continuing to learn, and respectfully sharing our growing faith and love of our Father, even through the grieving times. Maranatha!
Psalm 36:6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep; man and beast you save, O Lord.
