What happens to the soul after death according to the Bible?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible indicates that the soul continues to live eternally, experiencing either eternal bliss or eternal separation from God (Hebrews 9:27).

According to Scripture, particularly in passages like Hebrews 9:27, it is appointed for man to die once and then face judgment. The soul does not cease to exist after physical death; rather, it enters into an eternal state. The two conditions awaiting souls post-death are either eternal life with Christ or eternal condemnation. This encapsulates the profound significance of the choices made in this earthly life that ultimately affects one's eternal destiny. Therefore, understanding the eternal nature of the soul emphasizes the importance of valuing one’s relationship with Christ, as His redemption offers the only means to secure everlasting life in His presence, as indicated in John 3:16.
