WE ARE ETERNAL BEINGS - NOW 
Alan Yusko
When God created mankind, He made eternal beings. We all will live forever. We have a short time on earth to make one simple choice. Do you want salvation in the Lord Jesus? Or do you wish to pay for your own sins by yourself? You see God became a man and died on that cross to purchase our salvation. It is a free gift that any may choose to receive and spend eternity in heaven.. or reject. Sadly, many choose to reject this gift of salvation found only in the Lord Jesus. 
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Here is what happens to a person who dies on earth and rejects the free gift of salvation. They must pay the wages of sin, which is deadh. 
Romans 6:23
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” 
This means that once a lost soul dies, he will still live forever. But he will die in his sins and perish. From earth his/her soul and spirit will descend into shoel hades, or hell. There the lost soul will wait for the great white throne judgment. This happens af the end of the 1000 year kingdom which starts shortly after the return of the Lord Jesus to earth. At the great white throne judgment all lost souls will be judged. The books will be opened and they will be judged. After, the lost soul will be carried by an angel and thrown forever into the lake of fire. 
Revelation 14:11
“And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.” 
Next, what happens to a saved soul after death here on earth? Such a person has repented of their sins and admitted that they are a lost sinner. They then trust in the Lord Jesus alone for eternal salvation. They believe the Lord Jesus died on the cross, was buried, and was raised from the dead. The payment for sin was completed by the Lord Jesus and His shed blood on the cross. At death (or rapture) the saved soul leaves earth and goes to be with the Lord in heaven. 
2 Corinthians 5:8
“We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.”
This is quite a difference between the eternity of a lost soul who has died without the Lord Jesus and a saved soul who has not. An eternity in heaven with the Lord Jesus or an eternity in hell, the lake of fire for the lost. The choice is YOURS.. choose wisely.. 
John 3:36
“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” 
 REPENTANCE: PART OF SALVATION Alan Yusko I have see confused believers or even false teachers make the foolish claim that repentance is not needed for salvation. Well, they are wrong and lack a proper understanding to the gospel that saves. You see if a person loves sin, he/she can never be saved. This is where repentance comes in. It is a hatred of sin and a desire to be free from it. Then come to the Lord Jesus and trust in Him alone for eternal salvation. This is how one may be saved. But false teachers do not see repentance in their favorate salvation verse so they twist the scriptures and claim it is not a part of salvation. Below are several verses in the New Testament that apply to a lost soul that desires to be saved. Just admit to the Lord you are a lost sinner and hate your sin. Then come to the Lord Jesus for eternal salvation. Acts 3:19 “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence o...
