Question:
Is there anywhere in Scripture that says when our loved ones go to be with the Lord, that they are aware of what is going on here on earth?
Answer:
The only Scriptures I know that might help somewhat are Luke 15:7, 10. Verse 7 says, “Joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth” which may mean that everyone in heaven (including our loved ones) are aware when someone is saved on earth. Also, verse 10 says, “There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.” Saints in glory are probably in the presence of the angels so the saints may be the ones who are rejoicing. I don’t know of any verses that say our relatives can see what we do every day, but we can bring them joy and especially the Lord Jesus joy if we lead some soul to Christ.
