through waterless places seeking rest

"What Happens After I Die?"
* Realities of Life
- God made me to love me {Jer31:3, John3:16}
- Life all about God; until we understand that, can't understand life
- I was made to love Him {Eccl3:11, 2Cor4:16}
- You will spend more time on other side of life
* Six Stages of Man's Eternity
- Saved will experience it differently from unsaved
- Physical termination {Gen2:17, Heb9:27}
- Judgment of faith {John3:17-18, 8:24}
- Spirit relocation {2Cor5:8}
- Physical resurrection (glorification) {John5:28-29, 1Cor15}
- Judgment of works (not Great White Throne Judgment) {2Cor5:9-10, Rom14:10-13, Rev20:4-13}
- Personal compensation {Matt16:27, 1Cor3:8-15}
* Why does Hell exist?
- Because sin & evil exist {Matt25:41}
- Because God is holy & just {Gen18:25, Ps96:13}

- Admit I need a Savior to get to Heaven {Rom3:23}
- Believe Jesus died for me {Acts16:31}
- Call on Jesus by faith {Rom10:13}
* How should I respond?
- Recognize my responsibility {Ezek33:8}
- Write down names of those in my life who need Christ
