2 | Upon death do we go directly to Heaven? | Luke 23:43 | kalos | 835 | ||
2 Cor 5:6-8 (NKJV) 6 So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. . . . Philippians 1:21-24 (NKJV) 21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell. 23 For I am hard pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. 24 Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you. |

The answer to your question is yes, we do go immediately to see Jesus. The fact of scripture is that we are created in God's image. God is Spirit and once we are "born again" John 3:16 we are given new life in our spirit. When we die our physical body remains 6 feet under, but our spirit and our soul (mind, will, and emotions) or our personality is immediately brought into heaven with God. In fact right now your Spirit is already existing in the heavenlies with the Lord at this time. In Ephesians 2:6 we see the scripture says "And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus." Also in Phillippians 3:20 Paul reminds us . . "But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there .. " The reference is present tense and reminds us that we are currently citizens of heaven -- not after we die. Christ is now our life and we know he lives in us and through us and is himself seated in the heavenlies. Hope it reassures you. | ||||||
