Eternal
Life, Death, Heaven Study from Ken Birks |
|
|
A common
question that has risen in mankind from generation to generation is,
"What happens to someone after death?" Is there an eternity or an
eternal abode for believers? Is there really a place called
heaven? Many people have had so
called death experiences and have come back to life and told of their
experiences.
This is just a sample, abbreviated
Outline.

Heaven
and its Reality - PDF - Word
|
The Bible has a lot to
say concerning eternal life after death and what happens to the
soul. Jesus spoke a great deal about this subject and declared
that He Himself had come down from heaven and that after His death He
would go there to prepare a place for those who would follow Him.
John 3:13, John 14:2, Matthew 25:41
What is Eternal Life
& Heaven?
Eternal LIfe in Heaven is a term in the Bible which describes three
different spheres
of existence. The word "heaven" sometimes refers to the atmosphere
surrounding the earth. Other times it refers to outer space where
the other planets are. Lastly, Heaven is the dwelling place of God
and the elect angels. it is the everlasting home of the redeemed
of all mankind.

The Reality Of Life
After Death.
The Bible teaches that life continues after the physical death of the
body. God created man with a natural, temporal body and an eternal
soul. The soul of man consists of who we really are. It is
the center of our mind, will and emotions. The Bible teaches that
life is eternal. 1 John 2:25, 2 Corinthians 5:1
What Will
Heaven Be Like?
The Bible refers to Heaven as being above the world, in that God looks
down upon the earth and that when Jesus left this earth he was received
"up into Heaven". Mark 16:19
Heaven will be a place of light, love, holiness, righteousness,
worship, service, joy, peace and life eternally because Jesus the
Redeemer will be there. The New Jerusalem will be the new capital
of the universe and the place where the redeemed gather for worship and
service. There will be no darkness, hate, sin, unrighteousness,
sorrow, discord or death there. Without these things, it will be
heaven indeed. What a wonderful and worthy reward of the God who
redeemed us!
- It Is A Place of No More Thirst, Hunger,
Sorrow, Pain or Death – Revelation 21:4
- Heaven Is A Place Where Nothing Can Be
Corrupted – Matthew 6:20, Rev. 21:27
- It Is A Place Of Pleasures Forevermore –
Psalm 16:11, 1 Corinthians 2:9
- It Will Be A Place Of Worship – Revelation 15:4
- It Will Be A Place Of Constant Illumination
– Revelation 21:23.
Heaven is clearly described in the Bible as an actual place. It is
not a feeling or a state of mind. When people refer to Heaven as
being on earth they are partially correct in that we can experience a
personal relationship with God while we are still alive. This is
experiencing some of what is in store for those who will go to Heaven
when they die.
What Is Needed To
Enter Into The Gates Of Heaven?
No one in Heaven will deserve to be there as result of any merit of his
own. Because of this fact three will not be anyone boasting that
he or she had earned the right to live in Heaven.
Choosing Heaven means choosing to have a personal relationship with
Jesus Christ. Such a relationship brings a foretaste of Heaven in
this life, and an eternity of happiness. You can make your
decision today!
