What Happens at Death? (Part 2)
Pastor Zubeda Sing · 1 min read
“Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.”
According to the scriptures, those of us who die, having trusted Christ as our personal Savior, will be given bodies like that of the Lord Jesus Christ. Let us look at another scripture found in the book of Philippians 3:21 “Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.”
These bodies will no longer be subject to disease and death. It should be noted that Christians will not receive a body until the time of the rapture. Those Christians who die before the rapture must wait until the Lord comes in the clouds to call His Church. At that point, all those who have died in Christ will have their bodies resurrected and will be changed and united with their souls once again, receiving Glorified bodies.
We will not remember our sins and failures in heaven. Once we enter into eternity with the Lord, which is at the conclusion of the Millennial reign, the sins and struggles of this life, with all the tragedies and sorrows will be permanently erased from our minds. (Rev 21:4 “God will wipe away every tear”)
