What happens when you breathe your last breath? Where do you go when you die? Will you still be you?
How will you feel after you stop breathing? Will you still have emotions? Will the pain that brought you to death cease? Will there be joy? Or what about regrets or sorrow?
You may ask, 'Will I still exist?' 'Will I still know who I am?' If so, 'will I be alone? Or will others be with me? In Heaven? Or worse, will I be In hell?'
So, you say, 'I lived a good life. Am I going to Heaven? God will see I did more good things than bad.' OK, so how do you know how living a good life is measured, assuming God judges and not you? Or even that good works are the requirements for what God requires to enter Heaven?
And then to the test question, what makes you say what you say? Do we hope this is what happens, or does God offer insight through the Bible?
This study is unto life, eternal life with Jesus. Solomon declares that 'the day of one's death is better than the day of birth.' (Ecclesiastes 7:1)
To the world's thinking, they would say, 'that is weird; how can this be?'
Are you now curious about what the Bible says about what happens when a Christian dies? Are you drawn to ask yourself, 'what do I really think and thus believe will happen when I die?'
Come. Bring your Bible, a highlighter, pen and paper, and an open heart, and let's journey together to see what the Bible says about eternal life with and in Jesus.
Having my wife's recent passing from life to life, she will be our guide in reference as I strive to ask the questions you may ask about what happens next.
