AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 3:16 ¶ "For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His [One and] only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life. |
Bible Question: Please can anyone explain what is meant when John 3:16 says 'shall not perish'. I always believed that after death we have eternal life either with God in Heaven or without God in Hades. I'm not sure what is meant by the word perish. |
Bible Answer: When a person dies they are dead and the only thing to return to God is the Spirit we all are born with. Later at different times such as when Jesus returns the Dead in Christ will be made Spirit beings plus the few who are alive will be changed to Spirit beings. Included in the first resurrection will be a few from the first Covenant that died like Moses. In the end only the bad people will perish in the lake of fire to become ashes under the feet of the saints. This is made very short but for some it will help them on the subject. Mac. |
