The Soul and Body Separate.
“Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both sould and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28
“May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May you whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Thessalonians 5:23
“I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or our of the nody I do not know God knows…He heard inexpressible things, things that man is not permitted to tell.” 2 Corinthians 12:2,4
“Look…I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” Acts 7:56
The Great Divide
“And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.” Malachi 3:18
“This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and seperate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Matthew 13:49-50
Those who trusted Christ go immediately to God’s presence.
“We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. Jesus answered him, ‘I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.’” Luke 23:43
Those who did not trust Christ, we will study next week.
“…I…would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.” 2 Corinthians 5:8-9
