Questions About Heaven
What Happens When We Die?
1. Why Do People Die?
“the worst thing about living on this earth—that everyone’s lumped together in one fate. Is
it any wonder that so many people are obsessed with evil? Is it any wonder that people go
crazy right and left? Life leads to death. That’s it.” Ecclesiastes 9:3 MSG
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”
Romans 6:23
2. Why Do People Fear Death?
3. Where Do the Dead Go When They Die?
You Get to Choose
“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to
destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is
the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Matthew 7:13–14
The Righteous Path
“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except
through Me.” John 14:6
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has
everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life”Jn5:24
The Rebellious Path
“There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.” Proverbs 14:12
“it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,” Hebrews 9:27
4. How Long Do We Stay in the Grave?
“We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present
with the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 5:8
“Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise”Lk 23:43
5. Where is Our Final Destination?
“For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they
are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly,
and whose glory is in their shame—who set their mind on earthly things.” Phil.3:18–19
Believers Go to Heaven
“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 Corinthians 5:1
Non-Believers Go to Hell
“I saw a great white throne and the one sitting on it. The earth and sky fled from his
presence, but they found no place to hide. I saw the dead, both great and small, standing
before God’s throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead
were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books. The sea gave
up its dead, and death and the grave gave up their dead. And all were judged according to
their deeds. Then death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is
the second death. And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was
thrown into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:11–15

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” Mat.7:21–23
⇒ Sin Takes Us Down the Wrong Road
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23

“All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Revelation 13:8

Questions About Heaven Series
Is Heaven Real?
Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. "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. & And if I 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.” John 14:1–3
1. Heaven Has an Address
Current Heaven
“to be absent from the body is to be at home with the Lord” 2 Corinthians 5:8
Future Heaven
Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had
passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem,
coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And
I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and
He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and
be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more
death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have
passed away.” Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And
He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” Revelation 21:1-5
“For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be
remembered or come to mind” Isaiah 65:17
2. Heaven on Earth
“Then one of the seven angels who held the seven bowls containing the seven last plagues
came and said to me, “Come with me! I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” So
he took me in the Spirit to a great, high mountain, and he showed me the holy city,
Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God. It shone with the glory of God and
sparkled like a precious stone—like jasper as clear as crystal. The city wall was broad and
high, with twelve gates guarded by twelve angels. And the names of the twelve tribes of
Israel were written on the gates. There were three gates on each side—east, north, south,
and west. The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were written
the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. The angel who talked to me held in his hand
a gold measuring stick to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. When he measured it, he
found it was a square, as wide as it was long. In fact, its length and width and height were
each 1,400 miles.” Revelation 21: 9-16 NLT
No More Sun or Moon
“No longer will you have the sun for light by day, nor for brightness will the moon give you
light; But you will have the Lord for an everlasting light. And your God for your glory’ Is.60:19
Jesus will Rule & Reign
God’s Garden will Grow Again
“ Then the angel showed me a river with the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the
throne of God and of the Lamb. It flowed down the center of the main street. On each
side of the river grew a tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, with a fresh crop each
month. The leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations.” Revelation 22:1–2
Beauty Beyond Belief
3. Heaven is Designed Just for You
“The LORD God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it.” Gen. 2:15
