Luke 16:19-31"The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried....."
There is life after death as portrayed in this narrative by Jesus Christ of a real event . It is easy to logically deduce this if we consider the fact that if today is yesterday’s future then it means tomorrow is today’s future and so on through eternity. It is the activities within a time frame that defines the period of an event for example; a wedding anniversary date is defined by the wedding that took place on that date. It therefore follows that for every existing time frame there must be an event, even eternity. Based on this logic, there must be an afterlife since time has no end or else there won’t be eternity.

There is no transition period or dimension where souls are kept frozen for a futuristic resurrection of our bodies. From the above scripture we immediately go into a conscious eternity, Heb 9:27” And just as it is destined that men die only once, and after that comes judgment”,TLB. There is no middle ground in divine justice, no“soul hibernation ", or "purgatory" and there is no second chance , there are only two destinations possible after death. We either go to a place of torment for the wicked or a place of joyful bliss for the righteous
Heaven and hell are two dimensions of the Holy Spirit just as there is the waste bin and the useful home page in an email on the internet. Hell is like the waste bin , a place of intense pain with no end. The human soul is a mirror image of our bodies and can feel pain and experience joy. The rich man's body was in the grave and yet this scripture speaks of him lifting up his eyes and seeing Lazarus in Abraham's bosom. Your soul is like your mirror image but alive: it is the center of our consciousness and never seizes to exist. We would be able to recognize people who did not make heaven and vice versa .Those in hell suffer from the pains from unquenchable flames and the thought of loved ones coming to this place of intense hopelessness and horror. Arguing against the existence of hell will not make the reality of hell go away it is like denying that good and evil are non existent.
Hell is a place of physical, emotional and intellectual torment , imagine all the pain , heartbreak, depression ,shock , disappointment ,grief and fear that a person can ever experience all rolled in to one nightmarish episode. The greatest gift one could ever give to a person is the gift of salvation that comes through the gospel of Jesus Christ and the greatest reward is that of being used to save a soul from hell .
Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive boldness to declare the gospel passionately with signs and wonders following in Jesus name.
