Many humans from all beliefs and religions often think once someone dies a spiritual/ghost part of them separate from their bodies that contains their consciousness (often called a soul) leaves their dead body and goes to somewhere else to continue living (called the afterlife). For Christians in particular, many think human souls got to either heaven or hell for eternity based on how well they lived or if they accepted Jesus as their savior. Even then, some Christians have their own unique personal beliefs about what happens to people’s souls upon death; like purgatory (that is the soul being trapped in a place between Heaven and Hell: which in this case, is roaming on Earth) or something else; but this is basically what many Christians believe happen: either Heaven or Hell. They also believe this is clearly what the Bible
teaches happens to humans after death.
On such a serious topic, we don’t just want to believe the words of other humans alone, (like pastors, Christians, parents, friends, society, or even yourself) or any other creature about what happens after someone dies. Because we have the answer to the very truths of life, including and especially, what happens after someone dies:
God’s very word’s: the Bible!
And we want to be sure this is what the Bible completely says about this and check this out for ourselves. For Biblical topics (and this is definitely one), we should ALLWAYS look to the Bible and read it ourselves before we conclude what we believe just based on what other have said is true:
If you happen to especially be a Christian reading this, is it very important that you do as Paul instructed the church and:
1 Thessalonians 5:21
“Test all things; hold fast [to] what is good”
With that in mind, we’re going to take a deep and sincere look into what the entire world of God really has to say about death and what happens afterwards: heaven and hell. Please do not just openly accept what others have told you about this; especially if you are a Christian, you NEED to know for sure straight from the one true source you can truly trust on this subject! For what you believe about this (your worldview) will affect every part of your life and you, as a Christian, need to truly understand what the Bible actually does say about death!
So before even going over Heaven or Hell, we need to look at what is known for sure already:
