What does the Bible say? What happens after we die... depends on which path we are on

Hebrews 9:27 There will be a day of Judgment “Everyone must die once, and after that be judged by God” What does the Bible say?

There will be a day of Judgment 1 Corinthians 5:10 “We must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body.” What does the Bible say?

We must all stand before Christ to be judged 1.What have you done with Jesus? 2.What have you done with your life? How have you lived ? What does the Bible say?

1.What have you done with Jesus? John 3:16 “This is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. What does the Bible say?

“There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son. What does the Bible say?

Ephesians 2:8-9 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. What does the Bible say?

1 John 5:11-13 And the judgment is based on this fact: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. 20 All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed.” What does the Bible say?

And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. Whoever has the Son has life. But whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. 1 John 5:11-13 What does the Bible say?

1 John 5:11-13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. What does the Bible say?

1 Peter 4:17-18 The time has come for judgment, and it must begin with God’s household. If judgment begins with us, what terrible fate awaits those who have never obeyed God’s Good News? “If the righteous are barely saved, what will happen to godless sinners?” What does the Bible say?

Jesus told them, “This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.” John 6:29 What does the Bible say?

We must all stand before Christ to be judged 1.What have you done with Jesus? 2.What have you done with your life? How have you lived ? What does the Bible say?

What have you done with your life? How have you lived ? What does the Bible say?

I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’ What does the Bible say?

1.What have you done with Jesus? 2.What have you done with your life? How have you lived ? What does the Bible say?

Strong motive to make Christ known 2 Corinthians 5:11-19 Because we understand our fearful responsibility to the Lord, we work hard to persuade others. What does the Bible say?

God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. What does the Bible say?

So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!” For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ. What does the Bible say?

Matthew 13:24-30
