#8 - YOUR VERY NEXT EXPERIENCE IMMEDIATELY AFTER DEATH: WHAT REALLY HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER YOU DIE ?

DEATH IS AN ENEMY

Yes, not only does a soul die but it goes into the grave at death. What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death ? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave ? (Psalms 89:48) The grave has robbed many people of their loved ones ever since the first death on earth. This is why death is considered an enemy in the Bible. Yet death itself will not always be able to cause sorrow. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. (1 Corinthians 15:26)

NO MORE DEATH

The Bible predicts the end of death. - And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. (Revelation 21:4) This time is yet future. Those who love GOD and have died are not yet gone to heaven and are not yet praising the LORD. The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. (Psalms 115:17)

CHRISTLIKE CHARACTER MUST BE FORMED BEFORE DEATH

While GOD loves everyone and will forgive anyone HE does not change our character against our will or without our cooperation. In order for a Christ-like character to be developed for heaven it must be developed during an individual’s lifetime and certainly before he or she dies. Character is not changed by death or the resurrection. A Christlike character is the only kind of character that could enjoy heaven and it is the only kind of character that could ever be trusted in heaven. 

Many religions teach many different things about life after death but only the Bible teaches what you have just read.

 AN APPEAL:

If you haven't truly done so already, believer or unbeliever, please...surrender your heart to God while there is still time; surrender your thoughts and feelings to Jesus Christ the one who loves you and died in order for you and I to be able to obtain victory over all sin and selfishness in our lives...God loves you..God wants you and I to cooperate with Him so that we can be made ready to live eternally in a world of perfect love and peace.
