In 1Peter 1:16 it says: Be ye therefore Holy for I Am Holy. God's Character is perfect and holy. He wants us to strive for this same holiness each and every day.
The sinful nature will be looked upon with distain and regret as we draw near to our Heavenly Father. We must plead with Him to make sin a stranger to us.
The Holy Spirit is God's provider of Peace and Comfort. In addition to leading us into all Truth, His Spirit will calm us, comfort us, and provide us with peace that passes all understanding. Trust and never doubt !!
We do not need to grieve as unbelievers grieve, because we have Christ within us, the Hope of Glory. Death is a temporary sleep, and we know one day Christ will come again and receive us unto Himself, that where he is we will also be eternally!
God is the God of Love and Relationship. He wants us to be His friend forever. He loves us with an everlasting love, and He drew us to Him with that Love.
