Comfort for non-Christian family member dying?
How does a person bring comfort to a family member (who is non-Christian) when another family member (also non-Christian) is dying?
The comfort you can bring now, before a death of this nature takes place, is that God is gracious and loving and forgiving. The family member who is dying is on the receiving end of God’s forgiving love in Christ (John 3:16). That family member is a person for whom the Son of God gave his lifeblood to wash away sins (1 John 2:2). That family member is on the receiving end of God’s invitation to enjoy full and free salvation (Isaiah 55:1-3).
You can share that comfort and also the urgent reminder that this life is the only time when the Holy Spirit can change hearts so that people enjoy God’s eternal love (Isaiah 55:6-7; 2 Corinthians 6:2).
You have an important message to share. And, once shared, pray that God blesses the words shared for the eternal benefit of all involved. God bless your testimony!
