Bible Question: What happens to our soul when we die? I know that our spirit goes back to God who gave it. |
Bible Answer: Greetings Jirehway! According to Scripture, our souls could be required of us at any time (Luke 12:20)- signifying our deaths- and departs from us (Genesis 35:18) when we die. The soul that sins will die (Ezekiel 18:4) and be destroyed in hell (Matthew 10:28, Mark 8:36), while the soul that exalts the Lord (Luke 1:46) has the Lord as its anchor (Hebrews 6:19, James 1:21), and is saved (Psalm 16:10; 23:3; James 5:20).
