What Happens When you Die

…before the dust returns to the ground from which it came and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

And many who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, but others to shame and everlasting contempt.

For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing. They have no further reward, because the memory of them is forgotten.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive his due for the things done in the body, whether good or bad.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me will live, even though he dies.

Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life.

Behold, every soul belongs to Me; both father and son are Mine. The soul who sins is the one who will die.

Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—

God “will repay each one according to his deeds.” …

‘He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,’ and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away.”
