Heaven! Or Lake Of Fire! Your Choice!

Today I will talk about the resurrection of the dead. And The Great White Throne Judgment. I will bring in Scripture that proves this doctrine of the christian belief. Most of us believe in the resurrection of the dead, Some are skeptical. Whether you believe or not, God tells us plainly that it will take place, and then there will be judgement of us all.

Webster's Dictionary explains resurrection as "To rise from the dead, to rise again, the rising again to life of all human dead before the final judgement." But what does God tell us in His Word? Will we rise from the dead or not? Well the answer is "YES WE WILL!"

[Matthew]
In Matthew when Jesus was speaking to the Sadducees (who don't believe in the resurrection,) they were asking Jesus about the resurrection of the dead woman. Whose wife she would be in heaven? Now this woman had been married to sevevn brothers. Jesus answers like this. Matthew;22:29-30(But Jesus answered and said to them, You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God. "For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like the angels in heaven." So here God the Son speaks of the resurrection. PROOF! On the third day after the crucifixion of Jesus, Mary Magdaline and the other Mary came to the grave. Matthew;28:5-6(The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come see the place where He was lying.)" MORE PROOF!

[Two Resurrections, Of Life, Of Judgement]
When Jesus was talking to the Jews in John;5:28-29( Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, and will come forth; those who did good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who did evil deeds to a resurrection of judgement.] Jesus was not teaching that you are saved by good works, but that being saved produces good works, the same as not being saved produces evil works. Ephesians;2:8-10(For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourdelves, it is a gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.) MORE PROOF!
The resurrection of the righteous Luke;14:14(and you will be blessed, since they do no have the means to repay you; for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteuos.)

[Order Of Resurrection}
1Corinthians;15:20(But now Christ has been raised form the dead, the first fruit of those who are asleep.) Also in verse 23(But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ's at his coming)
1Thessalonians;4:16-18(For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.) PROOF that we will be resurrected to be with Christ.

I hope that this has given you some peace that you will be resurrected from the dead. Either to eternal life in heaven with Jesus Christ, or to eternal damnation in the lake of fire This is where all who don't belong to Jesus Christ will go.

[The Great White Throne Judgment]
Revelation;20:11-12(Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.)
Revelation;20:14-15(Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.) What will this be like, continuos, unrelieved torment will be the final state of Satan, fallen angels, and those whose names are not found in the book of life.

I pray that you will give your life to Jesus, before it is to late and you are at the Great White Throne Judgment. You want to spend eternity in Heaven not the lake of fire. I don't mean this to scare you to death, but to scare you to life, and this eternal life is in Jesus Christ.

God Bless You!
