What will happen to your soul after death?

Every SECOND, 100 people DIE on Earth

Did you ever think about the fact that one day you will die, too? What will happen to your soul after death? Where will it go? The Bible says that there are two realities after death. The kingdom of God or Heaven, and the kingdom of Satan or Hell, the place of eternal torment. Only redeemed people will reach Heaven and sinful people will go to Hell.

By default, all people born into this world are born sinners.

“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23,NASB)

“Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all mankind, because all sinned” (Romans 5:12 NASB)

Why did everyone sin? Because they all inherit the sinful nature of the first man, Adam. Surely you have noticed the manifestation and effects of sin in your life, haven’t you?

Because God is holy in His nature, no sinner can enter His Kingdom. No good deed can bring us closer to God because of our sinful nature. Help me illustrate this. Please tell me, how does society treat a person infected with tuberculosis, for example? Isn’t it true that they are isolated? But if this person does many good deeds, do you think he will be accepted? I don’t think so either. Until he is given the necessary medicines, this person remains in solitary confinement. And if I offered you your favorite fruit, but added a drop of poison to it, would you eat it? Obviously not, no matter how much you like the fruit. Why? Because poison causes death, doesn’t it?

We are all spiritually contaminated and need spiritual medicine to be healed. THE BLOOD of the Lord Jesus Christ is the medicine of our soul.

Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. (Romans 5:9 NASB)

I assume you are asking yourself: what is the connection between blood and sin? How can someone’s blood heal us of sin? And why did it need to be the blood of Jesus Christ and not the blood of another person?

When He created man, God warned Adam not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

The Lord God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may freely eat; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for on the day that you eat from it you will certainly die.” (Genesis 2:16-17 NASB)

When man ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, death entered the world, affecting all creation. Not only physical death, which absolutely every person experiences, but also spiritual death – separation from God has entered. Respectively, any man who is born into this world is born a physical and spiritual sinner. By disobeying God, all mankind is sold to Satan, becoming his property.

“Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all mankind, because all sinned” (Romans 5:12 NASB)

To save the situation, we needed a solution from outside our creation, unaffected by the infection of sin. The only solution was for God Himself to descend into our world, take on the form of a man, and take upon Himself the sin of all mankind. My sin and yours.

The Virgin Mary conceived from the Holy Spirit to later give birth to the One who is called Jesus – 100% God, 100% Man.

The angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; for that reason also the holy Child will be called the Son of God.” (Luke 1:35 NASB )

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us; and we saw His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14 NASB)

God incarnated in the person of the Lord Jesus to die and redeem us, at the cost of His innocent blood, once and for all, from the kingdom of Satan. Before being caught and put to death by the elders of His people, the Lord Jesus had dinner with His disciples and uttered the following words:

And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you; for this is My blood of the covenant, which is being poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.” (Matthew 26:27-28 NASB)

Jesus shed His righteous blood and thus reconciled us to God the Father. The Bible says that blood is life.

For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement. (Leviticus 17:11 NASB)

By shedding His blood on the cross of Golgotha, Jesus overcame death. The life that was in the Lord Jesus actually swallowed up death. The apostle Paul writes to the Corinthian believers:

For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. But when this perishable puts on the imperishable, and this mortal puts on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written: “Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?” but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:53-55,57 NASB)

We know that Jesus overcame death by raising the dead on the third day:

And the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you to Galilee. There you will see Him; behold, I have told you.” (Matthew 28:5-8 NASB)

Dear friend. God loves you. He did everything to save you. Do you understand the love He loved you with before you were born?

 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. (John 3:16 NASB)

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6 NASB)

Repent!

So having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now proclaiming to mankind that all people everywhere are to repent, because He has set a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all people by raising Him from the dead.” (Acts 17:30-31 NASB)

Receive the gift of His salvation by faith. Kneel now and confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord of your life and believe that God raised him from the dead and you will be saved.

If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NASB)

If you have done this, I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart! The next step you need to take is to get baptized and begin to study the Holy Scriptures thoroughly, that is, the Bible. Look for a church that focuses on healthy teaching.

Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to follow all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age. (Matthew 28:19-20 NASB)

True disciples of Jesus are baptized and study Christian teaching in order to grow spiritually and to preach the gospel to others. Write to me privately to help and guide you through this process.

God bless you!
