How do we know that God cares for the dead?

Scripture frequently highlights God's concern for those in sorrow and distress. In the case of the widow at Nain, Jesus saw her weeping for her dead son and was moved with compassion (Luke 7:13). This action underscores God's attentiveness to human suffering. Moreover, 2 Peter 3:9 assures us that God is 'not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.' This divine desire for salvation reveals God's ultimate care, reaching out to the spiritually dead, calling them to new life through His Son.
