What happens after we die? Is hell real? What is heaven actually like? And how can we know where we'll spend eternity?
In week two of Asking for a Friend, we take on some of the biggest questions we have about heaven, hell, judgment, and eternity. The Bible teaches that final judgment matters because evil cannot ultimately go unanswered. But that creates a problem for every one of us: if God's standard is perfect goodness, we all fall short.
Through Scripture, we explore what Jesus taught about hell as eternal separation from God and heaven as eternal communion with Him. Hell reveals the reality of God's justice, while heaven reveals the incredible gift of God's grace. We don't earn eternity with God by being good enough. Salvation is a gift made available to us through Jesus.
Ultimately, our eternity hinges on our relationship with Jesus. And eternal life isn't simply something that begins after we die. Jesus teaches that eternity begins now. Through Him, we can live with the confidence that we are loved, forgiven, secure, and invited into God's Kingdom forever.
These are big questions without simple answers, but we don't have to be afraid to ask them. God invites us to engage our hearts, souls, and minds as we discover the hope Jesus offers for today and for eternity.
