Life After Death

What happens when you die? Your spirit will leave your physical body. Your body will remain here, since it was made to fit into this world. However, you will always be fully conscious. If you have accepted Jesus Christ, you will go to be with Him at once. But if you have refused God's offer of eternal life, you will go away from Him to the place which is called Hades or Hell. Hell was prepared for Satan and all those who follow him.

"I am the Alpha and the Omega, The First and the Last, The Begining and the End."

1. Son of God

I, Jesus, came from heaven to the earth to give you my testimony. I am a king but my kingdom is not of this world. My kingdom is from another place. The reason I was born and the reason I came into the world was to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me. John 18:36-37

You are from below. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world. John 8:23

No one has ever gone into heaven except me - the one who came from heaven. John 3:13

God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son. Whoever believes in me will not perish but have everlasting life. God did not send me into the world to condemn the world but to save the world through me. If you believe in me, you are not condemned but if you do not believe, you stand condemned already because you have not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. John 3:16-18

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If you eat of this bread, you will live forever. This bread is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world. John 6:51

I am the bread of life. If you come to me, you will never go hungry and if you believe in me, you will never be thirsty. I will never drive you away. I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. My Father's will is that you look to the Son and believe in me to have eternal life and I will raise you up at the last day. John 6:35,37-38,40

No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God. Only I have seen the Father. I tell you the truth, if you believe in me, you have everlasting life. John 6:46-47

If you are thirsty, come to me and drink. If you believe in me, rivers of living water will flow from within you. John 7:37-38

If you drink the water I give you, you will never thirst. The water I give you will become a well of water in you springing up to everlasting life. John 4:14

2.Light of the World

This is the verdict: Light has come into the world but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. Whoever lives by the truth comes into the light. John 3:19-21

I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life. John 8:12

When you believe in me, you do not believe in me only but in the one who sent me. When you look at me, you see the one who sent me. I have come into the world as a light so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness. If you hear my words but do not keep them, I do not judge you because I did not come to judge the world but to save it. However, there is a judge for you if you reject me and do not accept my words - these very words which I am speaking will condemn you at the last day. John 12:44-48

I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me. John 8:28

I do not speak on my own authority but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it. I know that his command leads to eternal life. Whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say. John 12:49-50

The time has come. The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news. Mark 1:15

3. Sin

I have come to seek and to save what was lost. Luke 19:10

I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance. Luke 5:32

There will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who do not need to repent. Luke 15:7

I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. A slave has no permanent place in the family but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
John 8:34-36

If I had not come and spoken to you, you would not be guilty of sin. But now, you have no excuse for your sin. John 15:22

If you do not believe that I am the one I claim to be, you will indeed die in your sins. John 8:24

If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter eternal life maimed than with two hands to go into hell. If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter heaven crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell where the worm never dies and the fire never goes out. Mark 9:43,45,47-48

If you cause anyone who believes in me to sin, it would be better for you to have a large stone hung around your neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin. Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come. Matt 18:6-7

When you pray, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them so that your Father in heaven may forgive you of your sins. Mark 11:25

If you forgive people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others of their sins, your Father will not forgive you of your sins.
Matt 6:14-15

If you are not with me, you are against me and if you do not gather, you scatter. Every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven you but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. If you speak a word against me, you will be forgiven but if you speak against the Holy Spirit, you will never be forgiven - either in this world or in the world to come. Matt 12:30-32

4. Holy Spirit

I tell you the truth, you cannot see the kingdom of God unless you are born again. Flesh gives birth to flesh but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, “You must be born again.” The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.
John 3:3,6-8

God is spirit and you must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:24

If you love me, you will obey what I command. I will ask the Father and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever, the Spirit of Truth. John 14:15-17

You will be baptized with the Holy Spirit. Acts 11:16

And you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you will be my witness to the ends of the earth. Acts 1:8

The Spirit gives life, the flesh counts for nothing. The words I am speaking to you are spirit and they are life. John 6:63

I am the resurrection and the life. If you believe in me, you will live even though you die and if you live and believe in me, you will never die. John 11:25-26

If you keep my words, you will never see everlasting death. John 8:51

I tell you the truth, if you hear my words and believe in him who sent me, you have everlasting life and will not be condemned. You have crossed over from death to life. John 5:24

5. Good Shepherd

Enter through the narrow gate. Wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to eternal life and only a few will ever find it. Matt 7:13-14

I am the gate. If you enter through me, you will be saved. I have come that you may have life and have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. John 10:7,9-11

My sheep listen to my voice. I know them and they follow me. I give them eternal life and they shall never perish. No one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all and no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one. John 10:27-30

The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life only to take it up again. No one takes my life from me but I lay it down voluntarily. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father. John 10:17-18

I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. If you love your life, you will lose it but if you hate your life in this world, you will keep it for eternal life. John 12:24-25

6. True Vine

I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. Remain in me and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself - it must remain in the vine. I am the vine, you are the branch. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit. Apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers. Such branches are picked up, cast into the fire and burned.
John 15:1-2,4-6

If you love me, you will obey my teaching. My Father will love you and we will come to you and make our home with you. If you do not love me, you will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own, they belong to the Father who sent me. John 14:23-24

If you hear these words of mine and put them into practice, you are like a wise person who built their house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose and the winds blew and beat against that house yet it did not fall because it had its foundation on the rock. But if you hear these words of mine and do not put them into practice, you are like a foolish person who built their house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew and beat against that house and it fell with a great crash. Matt 7:24-27

If you hold to my teaching, you are my disciple. Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. John 8:31-32

The devil does not hold to the truth because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language. He is a liar and the father of all lies. John 8:44

7. Reward

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. Matt 22:37-38

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, you must love one another. By this everyone will know you are my disciple. John 13:34-35

You are my friend if you do what I command. John 15:14

The world hates me because I testify that what it does is evil. John 7:7

Anyone who hates me hates my Father as well. John 15:23

If the world hates you, keep in mind it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. No servant is greater than their master. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. John 15:18-20

Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of me. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy because great is your reward in heaven. Luke 6:22-23

Love your enemies and bless those who curse you. Do good to those who hate you and pray for those who use and persecute you. God causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good and he sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you only love those who love you, what reward will you get? Matt 5:44-46

When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. They love to pray standing in public in order to be seen by people. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. Matt 6:5-6

When you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who knows what is done in secret, will reward you openly. Matt 6:3-4

When you make a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame and the blind and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous. Luke 14:13-14

Do not store up treasures on earth where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal. But store up treasures in heaven where moth and rust do not destroy and where thieves do not break in and steal. Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. You cannot serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
Matt 6:19-21,24

I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God. Matt 19:23-24

If you can be trusted with very little, you can also be trusted with much and if you are dishonest with very little, you will also be dishonest with much. If you have not been trustworthy with worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? Luke 16:10-11

8. Judgment

Do not worry. Can you add a single hour to your life by worrying? Therefore do not worry about tomorrow - tomorrow will worry about itself. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and everything you need will be given to you. Matt 6:27,34,33

Ask and it will be given, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened. Which of you if your child asks for bread, will give them a stone? Or if they ask for a fish, will give them a snake? If you, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to you who ask him? Matt 7:7,9-11

Do not judge and you will not be judged. Do not condemn and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven. Give and it will be given to you - a good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over will be poured into your lap. Luke 6:37-38

With the measure you use, it will be measured to you and in the same way you judge others, you will be judged. Why do you look at the speck of dust in your neighbor’s eye and pay no attention to the log in your own eye? How can you say to your neighbor, “Let me take the speck out of your eye,” when the entire time there is a log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye and then you will see clearly enough to remove the speck of dust from your neighbor’s eye. Matt 7:2-5

Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The good person brings good things out of the good stored up in them and the evil person brings evil things out of the evil stored up in them. I tell you that you will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word you have spoken. By your words you will be justified or by your words you will be condemned. Matt 12:34-37

There is nothing concealed that will not be revealed or hidden that will not be made known. What you have said in the darkness will be heard in the daylight and what you have whispered in the closets will be proclaimed from the rooftops. Luke 12:2-3

9. Serving

If you want to become great, you must be a servant just as I did not come to be served but to serve and to give my life as a ransom for many. Matt 20:26,28

If you want to be first, you must be the very last. Mark 9:35

Because the last will be first and the first will be last. Many are called but few are chosen.
Matt 20:16

If you exalt yourself, you will be humbled and if you humble yourself, you will be exalted.
Matt 23:12

If you serve me, you must follow me and where I am you also will be. My Father will honor you if you serve me. John 12:26

If you would come after me, you must deny yourself, take up your cross and follow me. If you want to save your life, you will lose it but if you lose your life for me and the gospel, you will save it for eternity. What good is it for you to gain the whole world yet forfeit your soul? Or what can you give in exchange for your soul? If you are ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, then I will be ashamed of you when I return in my Father's glory with the holy angels... Mark 8:34-38

…to reward each person for what they have done. Matt 16:27

I am he who searches hearts and minds and I will repay you according to your deeds. Rev 2:23

Whatever you do to someone else, you do to me as well. And whatever you do not do for someone, you also do not do for me. Matt 25:40,45

10. The Reurn

Because of the increase in wickedness, the love of most will grow cold but if you stand firm to the end, you will be saved. This gospel of the kingdom of God will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations and then the end will come. Matt 24:12-14

When you hear of wars and revolutions do not be frightened. Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes, famines, diseases, terrifying events and tremendous signs from heaven. Luke 21:9-11

If those days were not cut short, no one would survive but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. Matt 24:22

There will be great tribulation unequaled from the beginning of the world until now and never to be equaled again. Matt 24:21

The sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light. The stars will fall from the sky and the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time, my sign will appear in the sky and all the nations of the earth will mourn. Matt 24:29-30

You will see me sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven... Matt 26:64

…with power and great glory. I will send my angels with a loud trumpet call and they will gather my elect from the four winds - from one end of the heavens to the other. Matt 24:30-31

As lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will it be at my return.
Matt 24:27

No one knows about that day - not even the angels in heaven but only my Father. Matt 24:36

Keep watch, you do not know on what day your Lord will come. Matt 24:42

You must be ready because I will come at an hour when you do not expect me. Matt 24:44

Be careful or your heart will be overloaded with the indulgences, diversions and anxieties of life and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. It will come upon all those who live on the face of the whole earth. Be always on the watch and pray that you are worthy to escape all that is about to happen so you may be able to stand before me. Luke 21:34-36

11. End of the World
This is how it will be at the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous. Matt 13:49

They will weed out of my kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. The angels will throw them into the fiery furnace where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Matt 13:41-43

When I come and all the angels with me, I will sit on my throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before me and I will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. I will put the sheep on my right and the goats on my left. Then I will say to those on my right, “Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Take your inheritance - the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world." Then I will say to those on my left, “Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.” They will go away to everlasting punishment but the righteous to everlasting life. Matt 25:31-34,41,46

The cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars - their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death. Rev 21:8

Not everyone who calls me “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, “Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and perform many wonderful works?” I will tell them plainly, “I never knew you. Away from me you wicked people.” Matt 7:21-23

They honor me with their lips but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain.
Matt 15:8-9

Do not be afraid of those who can kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both body and soul in hell. Matt 10:28

12. New Jerusalem

Be faithful even to the point of death and I will give you the crown of life. If you overcome, you will not be hurt at all by the second death. Rev 2:10-11

Hold on to what you have so that no one will take your crown. If you overcome, I will make you a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will you leave it. I will write on you the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the New Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God and I will write on you my new name. Rev 3:11-12

I will give you a white stone with a new name written on it known only to you who receive it. Rev 2:17

I will also give you the right to eat from the tree of life which is in the paradise of God. Rev 2:7

…and the right to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. Rev 21:6

If you overcome, you will be dressed in white. I will never blot out your name from the Book of Life but will acknowledge your name before my Father and his angels. Rev 3:5

Rejoice that your name is written in heaven. Luke 10:20

If you acknowledge me before people, I will also acknowledge you before my Father in heaven. But if you deny me before people, I will deny you before my Father in heaven. Matt 10:32-33

All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations - baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. Matt 28:18-20

Go into the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved but whoever does not believe will be damned. Mark 16:15-16

If you do my will to the end, I will give you authority over the nations just as I have received authority from my Father. Rev 2:26-27

I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. You will be able to overcome all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you. Luke 10:18-19

Father, the time has come. I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. And now Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I shared with you before the world began. John 17:1,4-5

I pray also for all those who will believe in me through the message - that all of them may be one as we are one. I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am and to see my glory - the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world. John 17:20-24

13. Alpha and Omega

I came from the Father and entered the world. Now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father. John 16:28

Behold, I am returning soon. My reward is with me and I will give to you according to what you have done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. I am the root and the offspring of David and the bright Morning Star. Rev 22:12-13,16

I am the Living One. I was dead but now I am alive forever and I hold the keys of death and hell. Rev 1:18

I rebuke and discipline those I love so be zealous and repent. Here I am - I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in and eat with you and you with me. I will give you the right to sit with me on my throne just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne. Rev 3:19-21

What I open no one can shut and what I shut no one can open. Rev 3:7

I will make everything new. Rev 21:5

Heaven and earth will pass away but my words will never pass away. Matt 24:35

My words are trustworthy and true. Rev 21:5

Stop doubting and believe. John 20:27

Do not let your heart be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me. In my Father's house there are many mansions. If it were not so, I would tell you. I am going there to prepare a place for you and if I go and create a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me so that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going. John 14:1-4

I am the way, I am the truth and I am the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6

Come to me - you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me. I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your soul. My yoke is easy and my burden is light. Matt 11:28-30

Peace I leave with you. My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27

In me, you will have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart - I have overcome the world. John 16:33

I have told you these things so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.
John 15:15

And surely, I am with you always to the very end of the world. Matt 28:20
