Death - Introduction
Death a term that, when applied to the lower
orders of living things such as plants and
animals means the end of life. With reference to
human being, however, death is not the end of
life. The Bible teaches that we are more than
physical creatures we are also spiritual beings.
For man, therefore, physical death does not mean
the end of existence but the end of life as we
know it and the transition to another dimension
in which our conscious existence continues.

Spiritual Death
Because all have sinned and fall short of the
glory of God (Romans 323), all people are
spiritually dead separated from God who is the
source of spiritual life. Sin is the most
serious problem we have here on Earth. Self is
the source of ALL Sin!!! Everyone who has not
been redeemed by Christ is spiritually dead (Luke
1532 Ephesians 21 - 3 Colossians 213) The
Bible speaks of the Second Death (Revelation
211). This is eternal death, the everlasting
separation of the lost from God in HELL.
5
Romans 3 23 For all have sinned and fall short
of the glory of God. Luke 15 32 But we had to
celebrate and be glad, because this brother of
yours was dead and is alive again he was lost
and is found. Ephesians 2 1- 3 As for you, you
were dead in your transgressions and sins, in
which you used to live when you followed the ways
of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of
the air (Satan), the spirit who is now at work in
those who are disobedient. All of us also lived
among them at one time, gratifying the cravings
of our sinful nature and following its desires
and thoughts. Revelation 2 11 He who has an ear,
let him hear what the Spirit says to the
Churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt at
all by the second death.
No Christian is as righteous as God. Without His
forgiveness, we would all be hopelessly destined
for the second death (Hell)

The Narrow Gate / Road
Heaven
Narrow is the Road And Few There Are that Find It!
Jesus is the Narrow Gate
Hell
Matthew 7 13 - 14

We are surrounded by multitudes of folk blinded
by Satan on their way to destruction and they do
not realize it! Will You Warn them??
Matthew 7 13 14 Enter through the narrow gate.
For 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 the road that
leads to life, and only a few find it.

Death of the Body
Destination apart from Christ (Hades or Sheol)
Hell Apart from God for Eternity
The Present Age II Corinthians. 44
The Age To Come
10
Satan will use the things of this world to blind
you to truth and deceive you into thinking that
you have plenty of time to get right with God. He
is really only interested in having you spend
eternity with himself in HELL!!
90 years of life on earth is nothing compared to
eternity. Do you really think that gratifying
yourself for the remainder of your 90 years is
worth giving up Heaven for eternity instead of
spending eternity in Hell??
II Corinthians 4 4 The god of this age (Satan)
has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that
they cannot see the light of the gospel of the
glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
Your eternal destination is determined by choices
made during your 90 years on earth. You will
either go to Paradise with Christ or to Hades
with Satan. Paradise is like a Persian garden
(Eden) but Hades is a miserable place.

John 5 25 29 I tell you the truth, a time is
coming and has now come when the dead will hear
the voice of the Son of God and those who hear
will live (spend eternity with God in Heaven).
For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has
granted the Son to have life in Himself. And He
has given Him authority to judge because He is
the Son of Man. Do not be amazed at this, for a
time is coming when all who are in their graves
(Paradise or Hades) will hear His voice and come
out those who have done good will rise to live,
and those who have done evil will rise to be
condemned.

Judgments
The Dead are Judged Then I saw a great white
throne and him who was seated on it
Revelation 20 11
Verse 12 And I saw the dead, great and small,
standing before the throne, and book(s) were
opened. Another book was opened which is the
book of life. The dead were judged according to
what they had done as recorded in the books.
15
Revelation 20 11 - 15 Then I saw a great white
throne and Him who was seated on it. Earth and
sky fled from His presence, and there was no
place for them. And I saw the dead, great and
small, standing before the throne, and the books
were opened. Another book was opened, which is
the book of life. The dead were judged according
to what they had done as recorded in the books.
The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and
death and Hades gave up the dead that were in
them, and each person was judged according to
what he had done. Then death and Hades were
thrown into the lake of fire (Hell) The lake of
fire is the second death. If anyones name was
not found written in the book of life, he was
thrown into the lake of fire.
Please note that there is a book (of life) and
there are books of deeds. The books contain
detailed records of our deeds while we live on
earth. The Christian passed from death to life
when he choose Jesus to be the Lord of his life.
Thus, his name is recorded in the Book of Life.
The books of deeds for the Christian will result
in rewards in Heaven and the books of deeds for
the unbeliever will result in degrees of
punishment in eternal Hell!
