For the Christian

What Jesus told a dying man.

Luke 23:42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
43. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

What Apostle Paul said

Philippians 1:21-24 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22. But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell.
23. For I am hard pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
24. Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you.

2 Corinthians 5:6-8 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord.
7. For we walk by faith, not by sight.
8. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

God created us as triune beings.

1 Thessalonians 5: 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

When a person dies, the spirit and soul leaves the body. If the person is a Christian, they depart to be with Jesus Christ.

According to Jesus Christ and Apostle Paul there is life after death, for a Christian; one who has accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior.

Where is Jesus Christ?

In paradise-heaven

Luke 23:42   And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom
43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

In heaven sitting at the right hand of God

Acts 1:11   Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

1 Peter 3:22   Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

Acts 7:55-56   But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
56. And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

Jesus Christ is in heaven and for a Christian, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

Two years after my wife's death I finally recommitted my life to the Lord, after I was shipwrecked upon the rocks of alcoholism and drug abuse. The Lord picked up all the broken pieces and gave me a new life, a life of peace, joy and hope. That was around twenty years ago.

Is there a Hell, a place of eternal torment?

Let us see what the Lord Jesus said concerning Hell.

Is there a Hell ?
