What Happens When We Die? - Pastor Joseph Clark
So, exactly what happens when we die? Some will say that you go to be with the Lord. Others say that we go into the sleep of death until Judgement Day. Some believe that we go to a waiting place until we are judged. Many believe that we are not judged if we have already been saved. Specifically, what does the Bible say about our bodily death?
1) Each and every one of our bodies is going to die. Genesis 3:19
2) The souls of the saved go to be with the Lord in Heaven. The souls of the lost go to Hell for eternal torment. Luke 16:19-31 and 1 Thessalonians 4:14
3) On the day of Resurrection, our bodies are raised from the grave (in a glorious and Heavenly form, perfect and imperishable) to reunite with our soul. The lost will suffer shame and everlasting contempt. 1 Corinthians 15:51-55 and Daniel 12:2 and Matthew 10:28
4) We will all stand before the throne of God for Christ’s judgement and receive his judgement on what we have done, whether good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5:10 and Revelation 20:11-15
5) Body and soul will be with the Lord forever. The unsaved are then cast into the lake of fire where they will reside forever, eternally separated from the presence of Almighty God. Revelations 20:15
So, what can we gather from this? Firstly, we are all going to die. Secondly, we are all going to be judged. Thirdly, we are either going to be with the Lord in Paradise or separated from the Lord in eternal torment. Fourthly, Now is the time to make right with the Lord. Fifth, Eternity has already begun for each of us and we can die anytime. Even in the next five minutes.
“We are confident (of eternal life), I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord” - 2 Corinthians 5:8
In closing, are you doing more for your body or your spirit? Are you collecting riches here on Earth or in Heaven? Are you living for the moment or are you living to ensure that you go to everlasting glory with God the Father? Are you planning to accept Christ in repentance and in faith eventually, or are you prepared to commit your spirit into God’s hands right now if it were to happen? “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.”– Revelation 4:13
