The Afterlife

Many people who don’t understand about Jesus
Fail to understand about Heaven and Hell
Many of these people get misled
They are fooled so easily

They believe in concepts such as paradise on earth 
Resting in peace, being one with the universe and being free once you die
They believe that hell is simply the grave or even worse, that hell is what goes on here on earth
I mean, seriously, who writes this stuff?

Many people believe that Heaven is like a dreamland for the good and Hell is like a punishment for the bad; they act as if concepts like new birth or even believing in God don’t even play a role
In where one spends his or eternity

Well, here’s it goes…
Some people who we consider “bad” gives their lives, even if it’s the last moments of their lives to God and experience rebirth and go to Heaven and some people we consider “good” but live in sin and do not give their lives to God and experience rebirth go to Hell. 
I’m not judging and God judges on a case by case basis.

Hell is not earth, planet earth is earth, nor is it the grave
It is a place where souls, demons, and Satan are tormented
It is full of brimstone and fire
And the number three desires are air conditioning, cold weather, and ice water

Heaven is the place where God dwells and Jesus sits on the throne
The streets are paved with gold, everyone is happy, hard at work but happy with their duties, children are playing and everyone is always learning something new, and the streets are made with gold and everyone has his or her own mansion.

That’s the afterlife. 
To get the good version of the afterlife, you must give your life to Christ by confessing that He died on the cross and believing that God raised Him from the dead and ask God to help live up to His standard of holiness.

A very clear, simple presentation of the gospel. So many people have been deceived and are willing to believe ridiculous ideas rather than God's simple truth. Well done. Love, Kim
