Lesson 6: What Happens After Death?
When we die, our energy force goes back to God, and our body begins to decay.
When we are dead, we are not conscious; we do not become spirit beings. Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10
If Adam had remained faithful, he would have lived forever as a human, and so would his children. Genesis 2:17
However, Adam did knowingly sin, and that is why we die as his descendants. Romans 5:12
Jesus and other prophets of God were able to perform resurrections. Apparently, none of the resurrected people said anything about an afterlife because they were not conscious while dead. They were all resurrected back to human life on earth. Mark 5:41, 42; Acts 9:40; 1 Kings 17:21-24
After the end of this world, nearly all the dead will be resurrected back to human life on earth under God’s Kingdom. Acts 24:15
If they still do bad things, Jesus will judge them as unfit for life, and they will be destroyed. If they prove to be good, they will live forever. John 5:28, 29; Rev 20:7-15
Jesus was resurrected by Yahweh back to life as a mighty spirit. 1 Peter 3:18
Jesus, as King, began resurrecting a limited number of humans to join his cabinet in heaven. Revelation 7:4-9; Revelation 5:10
Whether you have a hope of being resurrected to rule in heaven, or enjoy everlating life on earth, you are content to play your role harmoniously. Ephesians 4:16
