What happens at death?

1. Only the body dies.1 Peter 3:4 “the hidden man is incorruptible.”Daniel 12:2 “going back to dust”

2. Spiritual part of the saved returns to its Creator.

2 Cor. 5:8 “to be absent from the body is to

be present with the Lord.”3. Unsaved spirits go into hell where there is tornment.

Luke 16:23 “In hell, where he was in torment,

he looked up and saw Abraham

far away, with Lazarus by his side.
