Subject: wll everyone hear abt jesus before death |
Bible Note: Thank you for the response: I agree that as Christians we some times go beyond the scriptures into the area of wishful thinking. You have asked what doe the Bible teach as the what will happen to those who are saved when they die? The Lord Jesus made clear the purpose of Calvary."If I go and prepare a place for you. I will come again and receive you unto myself: that where I am, there you may be also. Is it no amazing that the Lord Jesus Christ desires those who are saved to be with him? We must divide those who are saved into two classes; those who have died and those who are alive at this time and wait for his coming. The early Christian were concerned with the fated of their saved loved ones who had died. "Would the miss the blessing with Christ at his coming? In 2 Cor. 5 discusses this topic and puts into Christian perspective. In v1 he points out that we live in temporary tent bodies in contrast to the eternal body which will be ours at a later When Christ comes. Paul underlines the security of our salvation "Therefore we are always confident, knowing that , whilst we are a home in the body, we are absent form the Lord:d" V6 "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord" V8 What does it mean to be present with the Lord? Paul speaks of this as he nears death "For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand" (2 Tim 3V6) As Paul reflects upon this truth, he speaks to the Philippians "For I am betwixt (betweend) two. having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ which is far better..."Phil 1:23 I believe from these few chapters that the Christian who is saved and dies before Christ is absent from the body and Present with the Lord. Praise his name. Furthermore for those of us who are alive await that moment when Christ will come bring with him those who have been with him since their physical death to meet those who are alive, this is when the dead received their resurrection bodies and those who are saved alive on earth will be change "shall be caught up together with the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord" (1 Thess 4:17) The relation which we began with Christ in time when we by faith rested in his work upon the cross is an eternal relation for all eternity May we rejoice as "We wait for his Son from heaven" and impress upon our hearts the great need for our fellow travellers to hear the gospel of his grace, that they too might be saved.
