What Happens When We Die

What really happens when a person dies? Do we go straight to heaven or hell, or does the Bible teach something different? In this eye-opening Bible study, we explore the truth about death directly from Scripture — not from tradition or opinion, but from the Word of God itself.

Discover what the Bible reveals about the state of the dead, the soul, and the hope of the resurrection. Learn how death is described as a peaceful sleep, and how Jesus’ promise of eternal life assures that death is not the end for those who believe in Him.

Ecclesiastes 9:5 – “For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything…”
John 11:25 – “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.”

Key Points Covered:

  • What the Bible says actually happens at death

  • The truth about the soul and consciousness after death

  • Why the Bible calls death a “sleep”

  • The glorious promise of resurrection through Christ

This study will bring peace, hope, and a deeper understanding of God’s plan for life, death, and eternal salvation.
