What happens when we die according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that upon death, individuals face judgment and are sent to either heaven or hell.

According to scripture, death does not terminate existence but transitions one to eternal judgment. Hebrews 9:27 clearly states that "it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment." After death, souls are directed to one of two eternal destinies based on their relationship with Christ. Luke 16 provides a poignant illustration through the account of Lazarus and the rich man, highlighting two contrasting fates: one in comfort with Abraham and the other in torment. This duality reinforces the urgency of the Gospel message—repentance and faith in Christ are essential for avoiding eternal separation from God. The hope offered in the resurrection ensures that believers will partake in eternal life, free from sin and suffering.
