Heaven and Hell

• Heaven is believed to be a place of eternal happiness and union with God, where the souls of the righteous go after death.
• Hell is believed to be a place of eternal punishment and separation from God, where the souls of the wicked go after death.
• Parable of the sheep and goats: " Then they (The goats) will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous (The sheep) to eternal life."
• Bible: "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes and death shall be no more"
• Bible: "... and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth".
• The first way in which belief in afterlife influences Christians today is not to fear the death. They may believe that death is not the end. They know they are going to heaven which is a good place to go and will live with God without pain. "Their will be no more death, or mourning, or crying, or pain"

  
  

  The second way in which belief in the afterlife influences Christians today is not to donate their organs after they die. They believe that God will bring them to resurrection, and therefore they want to have their full body during resurrection.
