Bible Question: Do Christians go to sleep or go to Heaven when they die? |
Bible Answer: Welcome Ray! According to what Paul wrote in 2 Cor 5:6-8 we are told when we are absent from this body(dead) we are present with the Lord. Acts 7:55 tells us by the Holy Spirit Stephen saw into heaven and saw Jesus at the right hand of God. So we know Jesus is in heaven. And to be present with Him makes us have to be in heaven also. I pray this answers your question. |
