Greg Laurie: A New Beginning
What Happens One Minute After You Die? | Sunday Message
Descripción
“What happens one minute after you die?” Jesus answered it plainly in Luke 16. Listen in to today's message from Pastor Greg Laurie. Notes: Luke 16 Everyone will die and enter the afterlife. Ecclesiastes 3:1–2 Hebrews 9:27 (NKJV) And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment. What happens one minute after you die? If you are a Christian, you go to heaven. 2 Corinthians 5:8 To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Philippians 1:23 “I have a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.” What happens to the nonbeliever when they die? Most people do not think they will go to hell. Matthew 7:13 (NKJV) 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. Matthew 7:14 (NKJV) Because narrow is the gate and difficult [is] the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. If we believe the Bible, most people today are not headed to heaven. The very word “hell” is so misused that people do not even understand its meaning. Jesus spent more time talking about hell than any other preacher. Jesus gives us three things we need to know about what hell is actually like. Read Luke 16:19–22 Jesus tells a true story about two men: one owning everything, yet possessing nothing, the other owning nothing and inheriting everything. We get a behind-the-scenes look at the eternal future of the nonbeliever. Read Luke 16:22–31 The sin of the rich man in Hell was not his wealth, but his heart. He was possessed by his possessions. Luke 16:19 Sin is pleasurable for a season, but then it brings death. The rich man was living the good life with no concern for anything or anyone but himself. The rich man was not ushered into Heaven like Lazarus. The rich man’s sin was disregard for the spiritual, revealed in his prideful flaunting of resources and his neglect of a starving, disabled man at his door. You can build an empire, fill every room with every award, and still arrive at eternity completely unprepared. People in Hell suffer. Nonbelievers don’t go to purgatory, soul sleep, or reincarnation. Nonbelievers go to Hell and eventually to the Lake of Fire. God invented Hell because He is a God of love and justice. Once you enter the afterlife, you cannot change your location. We decide in this life where we will spend the afterlife. There are no chances after death, but millions before. You cannot communicate from the other side. In the afterlife, you are conscious and fully aware of where you are. Just as there is memory in Heaven, there is also memory in hell. Luke 16:28 If you are born once, you will die twice. If you are born twice, you will die once. Often, Christians are reluctant to mention Hell out of fear that they might offend someone. To promise heaven and not warn of hell, to offer forgiveness without repentance, to preach the gospel without the cross, this is a false message giving false hope. If we really love people, we need to tell the truth about eternity. Jude 1:22 Show mercy to those whose faith is wavering. Jude 1:23a Rescue others by snatching them from the flames of judgment. Read Luke 19:29–31 Jesus did many miracles, and many did not believe. The gospel is a universal declaration that Hell is not God’s desire for anyone. The road to Hell is paved with excuses. God has a much better plan for you. It’s called Heaven! What happens one minute after you die? If you are a believer in Jesus, you go to Heaven. If you reject His offer, you send yourself to Hell.
