This message considers the scripture that says "wherefore comfort one another with these words". It encourages us to comfort others who have lost of loved ones that have been born again. There is a great difference between loosing someone who experienced the new birth and the shallow hopes we have for those who had not accepted the only cure for the reason we die. There is little difference in appearance between people who have been born again and those who think they have. Or even those who have chosen to not believe. Jesus spoke of this in Matthew chapter thirteen when He spoke of the wheat and the tares. The difference is internal. It is about a supernatural change that cannot be brought about by the will of man. It is a transformation that is experienced when God adds a new nature to an individual. We can't decide to dislike things we enjoyed and start enjoying things we disliked. We may put on an act that makes it appear that we have changed, by simple obedience to a system or the teachings of influential individuals, but anyone who has experienced the actual reversal of desires that come when God changes them, knows the difference. It is as though they have become a different person inside. That is exactly what Jesus was talking about when He said "Ye must be born again". These people have a new personality that is only observed in their behavior. They don't force themselves into a new life of obedience, like putting on an act. They experience real joy when they follow God's will.
