What fate awaits all people as a result of their fall into sin?

“In Adam everybody die“ (1 Cor 15.22, see Rom 5.12).

 

 

What is the state of a person at the time of death?

“Everything that your hand can do, do it according to your strength; for in the grave where you are going there is no work, no meditation, no knowledge, no wisdom” (Eccl 9.10).

Note. This means that when a person dies, his mental and physical activity ceases. Therefore, being in the grave, he cannot glorify God or even think about Him (Ps 6.6), since on the day of his death all his thoughts disappear (Ps 146.2-4).

 

 

What circumstance indicates that people will be delivered from this condition?

“From the power of hell I will redeem them; from death I will deliver them. Death! where is your sting? hell! where is your victory?“ (Os 13.14).

 

 

Through whom will the redemption of people be accomplished?

“For as death is through a man, so is the resurrection of the dead through a man. As in Adam all die, so in Christ all shall be made alive” (1 Cor 15.21-22).

 

 

What would have happened to the dead if Christ had not secured their deliverance?

“For if the dead do not rise, then Christ has not risen; and if Christ is not risen, then your faith is vain: you are still in your sins; therefore also those who died in Christ perished” (1 Cor 15.16-18).

 

 

Why did God send His only begotten Son into this world?

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3.16).

 

 

What did the Sadducees reject at the time of Christ?

”Then came some of the Sadducees who rejected the resurrection” (Luke 20.27).

 

 

How did Christ prove from the Old Testament Scriptures that there would be a resurrection of the dead?

“And that the dead are resurrected, and Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. But God is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for with Him all are alive” (Luke 20.37-38).

Note. In the light of the coming resurrection, this means that in God all will be alive. He wants all people to be alive.

 

 

What examples from nature teach the truth about the resurrection and the salvation of the righteous?

“What you sow will not come to life unless it dies” (1 Cor 15.36).

“Truly, truly, I say to you, if a grain of wheat, falling into the ground, does not die, it will remain alone; but if he dies, he will bear much fruit” (John 12.24).

Note. The seed dies to give rise to new life. This is a lesson for us about the resurrection. All who love God will be called to life to dwell for endless ages in the new earth.

 

 

Whose voice will raise the dead?

“Do not marvel at this: for the time is coming in which all who are in the tombs will hear the voice of the Son of God, and will come out” (John 5.28-29).

“The Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be raised” (1 Thess 4.16).

Note. The Son of God and the Archangel are one and the same person, and there is only one Archangel, the Bible does not have this word in the plural. And the proper name Michael in Hebrew means "who is like God".
