WE ALL LIVE FOREVER
You are a spirit, you have a soul and you live in a body. You will never die (spirit and soul).
The body dies and returns to earth (dust to dust). Where we live when we leave planet earth is our decision to make (our will) while on earth and that decision decides whether we live in heaven with Almighty GOD, his son JESUS and all the other believers in HIM where there is joy unspeakable, peace, no more tears, no pain, no sorrow and we love helping others; or with satan and his demons in hell where there is torment, wailing and gnashing of teeth for all eternity, separated from God for all eternity.
SPIRIT: We are created in the image of GOD. We are an eternal spirit and spirits never die.
SOUL: Comprised of your mind, will and emotions.
BODY: "Earth suit". Required to live on planet earth.
GOD: The creator of the universe. Creator of man (male and female). Creator of everything there is.
JESUS: Son of GOD, came to earth, born as a man, was crucified, buried and raised from the dead in order that man (his creation) could return to fellowship with GOD. He shed his blood for our redemption.
HEAVEN: A place where God resides and all the born again believers (those who have accepted Jesus as Lord of their lives (THE MESSIAH).
MAN: God's creation (male and female), placed in the garden and given authority over all the earth and everything in it. Man (Adam) gave that authority to Satan in the Garden of Eden.
SATAN: He was once Lucifer, an archangel who decided one day to be "like the Most High" and GOD said "NO"...and cast him out of heaven and a third of the angels followed him (fell with him). He is the deceiver, the accuser of the brethren and has no authority other than what we believers give him by the words of our mouth.
HELL: A place prepared for the devil and his angels. Man goes to hell simply because he rejects JESUS as the resurrected son of the Living GOD.
The decision is yours. Choose JESUS. Just say, " Jesus, I accept you as my savior and Lord. Please come into my heart and take over my life. I give it to you." If you say this and mean it, HE will immediately come into your heart and you will be born again, a new creation. You may or may not "feel" anything at that moment, but you will notice a change in your attitude and your thought life; your desires will change and as you are obedient to HIS WORD and act accordingly your life will become more of what GOD planned for you to begin with. No, this does not mean you will never have problems or trials. It does mean that you now have access to all the authority and wisdom you need from Almighty GOD to face whatever comes into your life.
If you decision is "No, I want no part of this". You have doomed yourself to an eternity of misery with never a second chance once you leave this planet.
If you are not sure there is a GOD, or that others have taught you there is no GOD, or life's circumstances have made you cynical, suspicious and downright angry, just ask GOD if HE is real and if JESUS is HIS SON. He will answer you and reveal the truth to you in a way you can understand (if you are sincere about your question).
GOD is merciful, long suffering, kind, not wanting anyone to perish. He loves HIS creation (man) and wants all to come into the saving knowledge of HIS SON, JESUS, so HE can show HIS great love towards us.
There are believers somewhere in this universe that are praying for you in intercession. You may never know them this side of heaven, because GOD has intercessors all over the world that are praying and interceding for those who do not know JESUS.
I encourage you to accept JESUS, get to know HIM intimately. HE loves you so much and wants you to come to HIM so HE can help you in your time on earth and then spend all eternity with you in heaven.
