What happens to our souls and bodies after death according to the Bible?
Answered in 1 source
According to 1 Thessalonians 4:14, the souls of believers are with the Lord after death, and there will be a future resurrection of the body.
1 Thessalonians 4:14 explains a crucial truth regarding the afterlife for believers: 'For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.' This underscores that upon death, the souls of believers immediately enter the presence of God, enjoying fellowship with Him. However, the physical body is not discarded; it will be resurrected at Christ's return, reuniting with the glorified soul. This assurance provides believers with comfort, affirming that both body and soul will experience eternal life together in the presence of God.
