3. How Can We Believe In Life After Death

4. 2 Timothy 1:10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

5. John14:1-6 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I

6. go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.” 5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

7. Job 14:14 – “If a man die, shall he live again?”

8. I Corinthians l5:55 Paul said to the Corinthians, talking about death, "O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?"

9. 2 Corinthians 5:1-9, The Living Bible For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands. 2 We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long to put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing. 3 For we will put on heavenly bodies; we will not be spirits without bodies.

10. 4 While we live in these earthly bodies, we groan and sigh, but it’s not that we want to die and get rid of these bodies that clothe us. Rather, we want to put on our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by life. 5 God himself has prepared us for this, and as a guarantee he has given us his Holy Spirit. 6 So we are always confident, even though we know that as long as we live in these bodies we are not at home with the

11. Lord. 7 For we live by believing and not by seeing. 8 Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord. 9 So whether we are here in this body or away from this body, our goal is to please him.

12. John 3:16 puts it so well: "For God so loved the world …” John 5:24 Jesus said, “He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall-not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”

13. Philippians 1:23-24, The Living Bible "For to me, living means opportunities for Christ, and dying - well, that‘s better yet! But if living will give me more opportunities to win people to Christ, then I really don't know which is better, to live or die. Sometimes I want to live and at other times I don't, for I long to go and be with Christ. How much happier for me than being here! But the fact is that I can be of more help to you by staying!"

14. I Peter 1:3-4 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy we have been born anew to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you.”

15. If you want to be Freed from the Fear, you need to find Hope in Christ. Admit that you are lost! CHURCH WON’T SAVE YOU. Admit that you are a sinner! Romans 3:23 Accept the Gift of Grace! John 3:16
