I have accepted Jesus Christ as my savior 20 years ago, but a friend asked me a question her question was that when we die do we go to heaven or do we have to wait till Jesus comes back and raises the dead first to go
Death is a state of sleep. Anyone who dies is at sleep until Jesus returns. Jesus is returning to set his kingdom East in Jerusalem. Jesus and elect will reign 1000 years.
Hebrews 9:27 It is appointed for men once to die then after this the judgment. When we are in Christ, the bible says that we are new creatures,created in Him. Romans 14;8 For whether we live,we live unto the lord. Whether we die we die unto the lord.Whether we live or die we are the lords. God is the God of the living not the dead. There is no fear in perfect love. Colossians 3: 1-4 Set your affections on things above,not on things of the earth. For ye are dead and your life is hid in Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears then shall ye also appear with Him in GLORY!
Read the scriptures ,in them you will find eternal life. Depending on the wisdom of others who are outside the will of God is not His will. Study to show thyself approved. In all your ways acknowledge Him and he will guide your path.
I'm ashamed that I don't know where to go to show this in the Bible.. but I have been taught and believe that when the saved in Christ die their souls go immediately to be with Jesus (as He told the thief on the cross "you shall be in Paradise with Me today." Our bodies remain here in the grave or cremated or whatever happened to the body and when Christ comes back it is resurrected and changed and made like His and our souls are in that new created body.
Hello, people who believe that often cite: Philippians 1:23, 2 Corinthians 5:8, and Luke 23:43. However, in my opinion these verses don't clearly state we go to heaven immediately, and there's actually far more verses saying we don't. For example, it says there will be a day of judgment Matthew 12:36, so clearly, people aren't going to skip that. It wouldn't make sense for people to go to heaven/hell before they're judged. Also, it clearly says we will be in 'sleep' before Jesus returns then the dead will rise to be judged. Daniel 12:2 So, it wouldn't make sense for people to go to heaven/hell, then return for a body, THEN be judged, etc. Also, no one judged before Jesus comes. 1 Cor 4:5
