Life After Death
eva Official Writer
1569John 11:25-26
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he dies, yet shall he live and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

The thought of dying frightens many people. But believers have no reason to fear. Jesus's resurrection and empty tomb prove that there is life after death!
Unbelievers who dread their demise have two different approaches to life. A group piles up wealth, good deeds, or worldly success in the hope of passing it on to their children or to charity. They expect to "live on" in the memories of those who benefit from their hard work. But it is the rare person who's still remembered a few generations later and none truly live on.
The other group chooses to laugh in the face of death. Their philosophy is "Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die" (1 Corinthians 15:32). Their existence seems pleasurable from the outside, but can you imagine a more futile way to live? God does not intend for us to go through life with such meaninglessness. Life on earth is a test, a preparation for what is to come. For people who believe it is eternal life with God. So how can we be justified and receive eternal life? There is only one way, which is through faith and trust in God's Son, Jesus Christ. For the believer, death is not a fearsome end. It is the doorway to a new life of serving the Lord in heaven.
Our days on earth are just the beginning of our existence
