Why would Scripture mention a grave at all if the soul were already in heaven? An Old and New Testament survey of death, sleep and the resurrection.
If You Died Tonight, Do You Know Where You Would Go?
Where does Scripture place the believer at death? An examination of Christ’s return, the two resurrections and the rewards that follow judgment.
Lazarus and the Rich Man
Is Luke 16 a literal account of the afterlife or a parable? A look at its symbolism alongside the related parables in Luke.
Welcome
These studies are written for Christians who want to test what they have been taught about the end times against the whole of Scripture.
If you do not yet know Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, start there. A Christian is not perfect, but has accepted that no one can enter Heaven without accepting Christ’s payment for their sins. No one knows when their last breath will be, so why risk an eternity separated from God by delaying? Nothing is more important than accepting Christ’s costly payment, which allows us to be with God for eternity. Read God’s plan of salvation here. Once you have begun following Christ, these pages will become relevant.
How to use these studies
We encourage you to download the papers and print them out. They are all available to read online, but we have found that serious students who write their answers down after prayerful deliberation gain much more insight.
Prefer to study on screen? The Online Study keeps each answer hidden until you choose to reveal it, and builds a timeline as you work through the questions.
This is not light reading. Christians may differ on some non-salvation issues, so please read what this study assumes before you begin.
In Christ,
