Where will you go when you die? When you die, is that the end of your existence? Or is there a life after death? The Bible teaches that the soul shall live on after death. The Bible says ‘people are appointed to die once, and then to face judgment’ (Heb. 9:27). Jesus made very clear that there are only two possible destinations for the soul after death. The one is heaven, and this is for all who believe in him, for ‘the one who believes in the Son (Jesus) has eternal life’ (John 3:36). In heaven, ‘God will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more (Rev. 21:4). The only alternative for those who do not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ is a place called hell. Jesus said, ‘The one who rejects the Son (Jesus) will not see life, but God’s wrath remains on him’ (John 3:36). Jesus warned ‘It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God than to be thrown into hell, where their worm never dies, and the fire is never quenched’ (Mark 9:47-48). Once a soul enters hell, there is no way of ever getting out. In hell, your soul will be awake and fully conscious of the torment it is suffering, and this torment will continue forever and ever. ‘And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and there is no rest day or night’ (Rev. 14:11).

A final Judgment Day is coming in which everyone will give an account of their lives to God. Only those who know Jesus Christ as their Saviour have their names written in the Lamb’s Book of Life so that they might enter eternal life. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire (Rev. 20:12-15). In order to go to heaven when you die you must repent of your sin and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour. Jesus paid the price on the cross at Calvary so that your sins might be forgiven. He died and rose again that you might be saved from the wrath to come. ‘For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life’ (John 3:16). Will you trust him to save you today? ‘I have set before you life and death, therefore choose life’. (Deut. 30:19). ‘Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved’ (Acts 16:31).
