Luke 20:  ³⁶ and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children, since they are children of the  resurrection
Maybe this is part of the reason for the common misconception that Christians who die become angels.  Jesus said they are LIKE angels; that is, they cannot die.

Life in God's kingdom will be so unlike our lives on Earth as to be unimaginable.  I was bothered by this for the longest time.  What will I do in heaven?  My mother said we would praise God.  Wouldn't that get old?  I now think that WHATEVER it is we do, it will be awesome.  God knows our every need, and His kingdom will surely address what we need once we are with Him.  Until then, I merely trust that when His will is fully done in my life, my life will be the best it possibly can be.

Prayer:  Lord, I look forward to the day when I become like the angels--a child of the resurrection.  I fully trust that You have my best interests at heart, and I look forward to an eternity of Your blessed company.
Amen
