Ch. 43 What Happens When You Die?

Anyone who is not a true born-again Christian goes to hell when they die physically. They will have a body and will experience extreme pain and suffering as punishment for rejecting the salvation provided for them in Jesus Christ.

Please see the chapter titled Hell Is Real for a list of many Bible verses concerning hell.

Anyone who does not believe hell exists most likely also:
  • does not believe what the Bible teaches on others topics.
  • is not a true born-again believer.
  • has a misconception of what God is really like:

    A common misconception such people say is: “God is love and therefore He won’t send anyone to hell” The problem with that thinking is that while it is true that God is love, they do not understand that is not all that God is; one of His other attributes is justice, infinite justice, in fact. God will judge the sin and unfaithfulness of mankind. Non-Christians go to a real hell when they die and, after the great white throne judgment, they will be cast into the Lake of Fire for all eternity; there will be no escape, ever.

    Revelation 20:11–15   11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.


    When a born-again Christian dies physically, they immediately go to be with the Lord Jesus Christ. And then in the end, when the body is resurrected, they are given a glorified human body like the body Jesus Christ has now.
