“It is appointed unto man once to die and after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).

Man desires to know what happens after death. Yet much of this is unknown. Even the Bible does not reveal everything to satisfy our curiosity about the afterlife. However, the Bible does reveal to us everything we need to know to answer the question, “Where are the dead?”

This book examines what the Bible has to say on the subject and presents it in a clear and understandable manner. There are questions after the lessons to aid in personal and group Bible studies.

Hope for the Resurrection

Great Days in History: The Unfolding of the Scheme of Redemption

Those who had been raised from the dead prior to Jesus’ resurrection did die again. But through Jesus, we have hope for a resurrection like His. However, this hope is only for those who will obey Him. Notice what Paul wrote:

Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; for he who has died is freed from sin. Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him” (Romans 6:4-8).

If we will die to sin, be buried with Christ in baptism, and walk in newness of life, we can also be raised “never to die again” (Romans 6:9). Jesus is “the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25). Even though we may die, we will receive the reward if we are faithful to Him. Those who have “fallen asleep in Jesus” will receive the same reward as those who are “alive and remain” when the Lord returns (1 Thessalonians 4:14-17).

Therefore, we do not need to fear death. In writing of the hope of the resurrection, Paul told the Corinthians, “The last enemy that will be abolished is death” (1 Corinthians 15:26). Regarding this event, Paul wrote, “But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, ‘Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 15:54-57).

Even if we face persecution for the cause of Christ, we can have confidence in the hope of the resurrection. Jesus said, “Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28). We may be “considered as sheep to be slaughtered,” yet we “overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us” (Romans 8:36-37).
