What you believe about death and eternity will determine how you live your life
What do we know about death?
- Death is certain
27 Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,
Hebrews 9:27
- The soul and the body separate
- Eventually, we will face judgment
The White throne judgement.
Those who do not believe will be at the white throne judgement, and they will be judged on what they have done. This is found in Revelations 20
11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:11-15 NIV
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
2 Corinthians 5:10 NIV
The questions we must answer now
- Can I trust God with my life? The answer to this is YES!!!
- What step of faith am I betting my eternity on?
9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 10:9
