What Happens the Moment After You Die?
Every day over 200,000 people will take their final breath
and slip into eternity, either into heaven or into hell.
Although their lives may never have made the news
the reality of death happens every day.
What happens the moment after you die?
The moment after you die,
your soul temporarily departs from your body
to await the Resurrection.
Those who place their faith in Christ
will be escorted by the angels into the presence of the Lord,
encircled by believing loved ones and friends
that they have known during their lives.
Meanwhile, unbelievers will be engulfed in total darkness,
fully aware of their state.
Scenes of their lives will play back in their memory.
It will torment their soul
when they think back to their family and friends.
"Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was:
and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it."
~ Ecclesiastes 12:7
Unless prearrangements have been made,
your loved ones will plan your funeral.
They will take care in the write- up of your obituary
while your body remains silent, unaware of the confusion.
Although you are unable to speak with them,
your soul will be more alive than it has ever been!
Although the unbeliever's body remains resting,
who can fathom the depths of hell he is experiencing?!
His spirit screams!
"Hell from beneath is moved
for thee to meet thee at thy coming..."
~ Isaiah 14:9a
Unprepared is he to meet God!
Although he cries in his torment,
his prayer offers no value whatsoever,
for a great gulf is fixed between heaven and hell
where no one can pass to the other side.
Hopelessly he stares at his confusion!
The tender words spoken at his funeral bare no similarity
to the actuality that he now faces.
Alone he is left in his misery.
Alone in his memories.
The flame of hope forever extinguished
of seeing his loved ones again.
On the contrary, precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.
Escorted by the angels into the presence of the Lord,
they are now comforted.
Their trials and suffering are past.
Although their presence will be deeply missed,
they have hope of seeing their loved ones again.

Dear soul,
Do you have the assurance that when you die
you will be in the presence of the Lord in heaven?
Those who fall asleep in Jesus need not to fear death.
Escorted by the angels into the presence of the Lord,
He will welcome them into glory.
Yet, if you don't believe in the Lord, you're going to hell.
There is no pleasant way to say it.
The Scripture says,
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
~ Romans 3:23
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved."
~ Romans 10:9
Don't fall asleep without Jesus
until you are assured of a place in heaven.
Tonight, if you would like to receive the gift of eternal life
first you must believe in the Lord.
You have to ask for your sins to be forgiven
and put your trust in the Lord.
There's only one way to heaven and that's through the Lord Jesus.
That's God's wonderful plan of salvation.
You can begin a personal relationship with Him
by praying from your heart a prayer such as the following:
"Oh
God, I am a sinner.
I 've been a sinner all of my life.
Forgive me, Lord.
I receive Jesus as my Savior.
I trust Him as my Lord.
Thank you for saving me.
In Jesus' name, Amen."
If you have received the Lord Jesus as your personal Savior
after reading this invitation, please let us know.
We would love to hear from you. Your first name is sufficient.
"Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved"
~ Acts 2:21b

by reading the Scriptures and praying to Him often.
Talk to Him as you would talk to a dearest friend.
He desires that closeness and intimacy with you!
"He shall feed his flock like a shepherd:
he shall gather the lambs with his arm,
and carry them in his bosom,
and gently lead those that are with young."
~ Isaiah 40:11
