YOU don’t really die!
Physical body dies. Real you does not die, No YOLO. Soul never dies.
2 Corinthians 5:1 For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands.
Absent body
2 Corinthians 5:8
Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord.
So what do we do? Purpose?
2 Corinthians 5:9-10
So, whether we are here in this body or away from this body, our goal is to please him.
Purpose?
- Make lots money
- YouTube famous
- Record # Likes
Whether in this body or out of our body, Our goal is to make Jesus smile.
Why talk about “after you die”
WHAT YOU BELIEVE ABOUT ETERNITY DETERMINES HOW YOU LIVE TODAY.
You will live somewhere, what you do today impacts eternity!
3 THINGS THAT HAPPEN AFTER THIS LIFE IS DONE
- OUR PHYSICAL BODIES DIE
Heb 9:27-28
And just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment, 28 so also Christ was offered once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him.
- OUR SOULS SEPARATE FROM OUR PHYSICAL BODIES
Matt 10:28
“Don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Physical bodies die, Soul separates from body.
- WE WILL ALL FACE JUDGMEN
1 Peter 1:17
And remember that the heavenly Father to whom you pray has no favorites. He will judge or reward you according to what you do. So you must live in reverent fear of him during your time here as “temporary residents.”
THE TWO JUDGMENTS
GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT
Most scholars say it is only for non-believers.
JUDGEMENT SEAT OF CHRIST
Not a judgement for sins. What you did on earth is rewarded in heaven. We are not saved by works; grace is all we need. We are rewarded for works you don’t have to
you want to.
What are you judged by?
Matthew 25:35 (NLT) 35 For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home.
“One minute after you slip behind the parted curtain, you will either be enjoying a personal welcome from Christ or be catching your first glimpse of gloom as you have never known it. Either way, your future will be irrevocably fixed and eternally unchangeable.” Erwin Lutzer
