There are many different ideas about what happens when we die. Few people like to think that when they die, that will be the end of them. As we have already seen, death is a punishment for sin.
Death is a lifeless state without any thoughts or any consciousness at all.
Death is a complete end to life and no part lives on. There would be no hope if God had not sent Jesus. But because of what Jesus did in his sinless life and in his death, we can have a hope of life after death. 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. We can have our sins forgiven through Jesus.
