The Doctrine of
Week 3: What Happens When I Die?

2. “I do not want you to be ignorant of the future, my
brethren. With all the death, sorrow and
discouragement that everyone feels, I don’t want
you to lose sight of a better place to come…
Comfort one another with the words of heaven.”
1 Thes.4:13
[Paraphrase]

3. “I do not want you to be ignorant of the future, my brethren. With all the death, sorrow and
discouragement that everyone feels, I don’t want you to lose sight of a better place to come…
Comfort one another with the words of heaven.”
1 Thes.4:13
“For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain… For I
am hard pressed between the two (living or dying),
having a desire to depart and to be with Christ which
is far better. Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is
more needful for you..”
Philippians 1:21-23

4. “It’s not the jeweled walls or pearly
gates that will make heaven
attractive, but God Himself. Do
you live for money? Then to die is
to leave it all behind. Do you live
for fame? Then to die is to be
forgotten. What if you live for
power? Then to die is to lose it all.
But if you live for Jesus Christ,
then you will have Him both now
and for evermore.”
D.L. Moody

13. “Watch out that no one deceives
you. There are countless groups,
religious and secular, that will
assure you heaven is your
automatic destination, or that it
can be attained by hard work and
abstinence from sin. This is
false. There is no salvation
except by Jesus Christ and His
redemptive work.”
Randy Alcorn- “Heaven”

14. “All your life an unattainable
ecstasy has hovered just
beyond the grasp of your
consciousness. The day is
coming when you will wake
to find, beyond all hope, that
you have attained it, or else,
that it was within your reach
and you have lost it forever.”
CS Lewis
