πŸ’₯ Uvalde Series Report: 611 downloads

 
Every human who is Christian needs the information provided on the Uvalde Series Report.

My favorite aunt was a life time Church of Christ member.  Before she died, I spoke with her by phone.  She asked:  "What do you think happens when we die?" I replied, "We fall asleep."  She said: "That's what I think too."

(Many churches fail to teach this.)

In the Uvalde series God gave me additional understanding as to what happens to us when we die which each of us need to know.

In the Bible, Jesus shows us death is like "falling asleep."

πŸ’₯  John 11:11-14  (When Lazarus died he fell asleep.)  These things said HE (JESUS): and after that HE saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

12 Then said HIS disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.

13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that HE had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

πŸ’₯ James 2:27  The body without the Spirit is dead:  

The Holy Spirit reminded me of this which shows us we are not sleeping in a grave under the ground.  At the moment of death, our spirit (soul) leaves our body and sleeps in Jesus.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯  

πŸ’₯ I Thess. 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with HIM.)

15-18  For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (go before) them which are asleep. 

For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

We will be given new spiritual bodies before we are taken into the new heaven.

I Corinthians 15:49-51  And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

God will destroy this present heaven and earth with fire:

2 Peter 3:10-14  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,  Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

In our new spiritual bodies, we will be taken to the new heaven and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness:

Revelation 21:1-5  And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.  And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be HIS people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

5 And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And HE said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
