Is there a Heaven? Is There a Hell? ABC's of Salvation
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.
