Bible Questions Answered:
“Pastor,
what happens after death?...”

Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
“This
life is the signature of eternities contract.”JJR
“And
as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the
judgment:”
Hebrews
9:27 KJV
After this life, your signature determines what is your
destination.
The Lord Jesus, God's eternal holy Son, was born into
this world, to be mankind's Savior.
Mankind had fallen into sin through the choices of Adam
and Eve. The curse of sin and it's separation from God, who is
sinless, was its result.
We all know only too well, what heredity markers are,
through DNA. Something which is passed on down from generation to
generation.
But sin is a spiritual marker, that blackens the soul of
man.
Romans
5:12 KJV
Wherefore,
as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so
death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.
All mankind, without exception, are sinful, needing
redemption. And that is why God's Son came into our world, to give
mankind an opportunity of redemption.
He came into this world to take our place in
condemnation and death.
II
Corinthians 5:21 NLT
For
God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so
that we could be made right with God through Christ.
In life, we have the opportunity to choose, The Lord
Jesus, and His pardon for our sin, or to reject Him, and
receive the just judgment for sin and rejection of His love Gift to
the world, His Only Begotten Son.
“And
as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the
judgment:”
Hebrews
9:27 KJV
And so the choice in life is ours, and ours alone.
Now, notice how that this verse of the Apostle Paul,
says that “it is appointed unto men once to die,
but after this the judgment:”
The
Word Of God, tells us time and time again, men do “not,” go
through countless reincarnations, we die, ONCE, and then the
judgment.
How are you signing eternities contract, you are signing
it alone, every day!
Are you signing for the Savior, and His pardon, or are
you saying no, rejecting Him and what He came to do for you?
All will be revealed, the first minute after death.
Did you notice something else about Hebrews 9:27,
once we pass from this life of decision, there is no changing your
mind, all results, are forever final....”and then the judgment.”
There are only two possibilities, heaven or hell. Who
said so, Jesus Christ, who had come from heaven, and The Father, said
so.
Heaven is a place of bliss and joy with The Lord Jesus ,
God The Father and The Holy Spirit, and countless souls who have
accepted The Father and His Son. (See Revelation 21 and 22)
Hell, is a place of eternal torment and fire,
that one day will be thrown into an even worse place called the lake
of fire.
Mark 9:43,44 KJV (Read verses 42-50) (Jesus)
43 “...Hell, into the fire that never shall be
quenched.
44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not
quenched.
45 “...hell, into the fire that never shall be
quenched:
46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not
quenched.
48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not
quenched.
Death:
Genesis
3:19 KJV
"...Dust
thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."
Psalm
103:15,16 KJV
15
As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he
flourisheth.
16
For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof
shall know it no more.
Deuteronomy
30:15-18 NLT
15
"Now listen! Today I am giving you a choice between prosperity
and disaster, between life and death.
16 I have commanded you today to love The Lord your
God and to keep His commands, laws, and regulations by walking in His
ways. If you do this, you will live...and The Lord your God will
bless you...
17
But if our heart turns away and you refuse to listen, and if you are
drawn away to serve and worship other gods,
18
Then I warn you now that you will certainly be destroyed..."
Daniel
12:2 KJV
And
many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to
everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Promises
To The Righteous:
Psalm
23:4 KJV
Yea,
though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear
no evil: for thou art with me.
Proverbs
14:32 KJV
The
righteous hath hope in his death.
Hosea
13:14 KJV
I
will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from
death..."
John
11:25,26 KJV
25
Jesus said...I am the resurrection, and The Life: he that believeth
in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26
And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die...."
The
Choice Today:
John
3:16-21 KJV
16
for God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting
Life.
17
For God sent not His Son into the world, to condemn the world; but
that the world through Him might be saved.
18
He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not
is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of The
Only Begotten Son Of God.
19
And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and
men loved darkness rather than Light, because their deeds were evil.
20
For every one that doeth evil hateth The Light, neither cometh to The
Light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21
But he that doeth Truth cometh to The Light, that his deeds may be
made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Romans
6:23 KJV
The
wages of sin is death; but The Gift Of God is eternal Life through
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Prayer:
Revelation
3:20 KJV
Behold,
I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice and open the
door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.
Psalm 86:5 KJV
For
thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy
unto all them that call upon thee.
Isaiah 1:18 KJV
Come now, and let us reason
together, saith The Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall
be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be
as wool.
Isaiah 55:6 KJV
Seek ye The Lord while He may be
found, call ye upon Him while He is near:
