Life After Death

Text: Revelation 20:11-15

We have just read about the Great White Throne judgement. This is when all unbelievers will be judged by the living God of heaven and earth. Verse 15 states: “And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire."  Your name is written in the Book of Life when you repent of your sins and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior by faith.  Your name will never be erased from the Book of Life.  An unbeliever is a person who has never been born again. To be born again means to repent of your sins and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior by faith. In John 3:3 Jesus states: “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” The kingdom of God is heaven. Life After Death. It’s Called Eternity. You will live forever in Heaven or Hell. Your choice!

Dr. Erwin Lutzer states: “Those who find themselves in Heaven will be surrounded with friends whom they have known on earth.  Friendships, once rudely interrupted by death, will continue where they left off.  Every description of Heaven they have ever heard will pale in the light of reality.  All this - forever.  Others - indeed many others - will be shrouded in darkness, a region of deprivation and unending regret.  There, with their memories and feelings fully intact, images of their life on earth will return to haunt them.  They will think back to their friends, family, and relatives; they will brood over opportunities they squandered and intuitively know that their future is both hopeless and unending.  For them, death will be far worse than they imagined.” Where will you be living one minute after you die…Heaven or Hell?
