What the Bible teaches about Death

Genesis 1:27; 2:7 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. 7 Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.



By whom and was man created? Genesis 1:27; 2:7




What is death? Ecclesiastes 12:7




To what does Jesus compare death? John 11:11,13




Do the dead know anything? Ecclesiastes 9:5,6




What happens to the soul? Ezekiel 18:4




Can we communicate with the dead? Deuteronomy 18:10,11




While Jesus is not coming, where are the dead? Daniel 12:2.




WHAT SHOULD I DO?


1. Be consoled by the hope of the Resurrection (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)


2. Believe in Jesus (John 11:25)


3. Persevere until I obtain the immortality God will give us (Romans 2:7)


The Bible clearly condemns consulting the dead. If there is no life after death, everything is a deception. From the Garden of Eden Satan already told Eve: You shall not die. Genesis 3:4
