  1. Do Not Be Mistaken About Life After Death!
    1. The dead continue to live before God (Luke 20:38b)
      1. Jesus argued that the physically dead are still “living” (Luke 20:37-38)
      2. The present tense “I am” (Matt. 22:32) proves God is still God of His dead saints
      3. This was proved by the O.T. (Ex. 3:6) and the N.T. (Luke 16:19-31; Rev. 6:9-11)
      4. At death, it is the body that dies when the spirit departs from it (Jas. 2:26)
    2. The dead will be raised by God (Luke 20:37)
      1. The Sadducees mocked the idea of “in the resurrection” (Luke 20:33)
      2. Jesus used the Scripture to prove “that the dead are raised” (Luke 20:37)
      3. The O.T. taught the resurrection (Job 19:25-27; Psa. 16:9-11; Dan. 12:1-3)
      4. The N.T. teaches the resurrection (Jn. 5:28-29; 1 Cor. 15:51-57; 1 Th. 4:14-17)
      5. The resurrection of the dead is as certain as Jesus’ resurrection (1 Cor. 15:12-20)
    3. The raised will live in a different realm created by God (Matt. 22:30)
      1. “That age” will be different than “this age” (Luke 20:34-35)
      2. The raised body will be “a spiritual body” (1 Cor. 15:35-49), not fleshly (15:50)
      3. A place of change—shall be changed (1 Cor. 15:50-53; Phil. 3:21; 2 Cor. 5:2-4)
      4. A place of immortality—no death or sickness (Lk. 20:36; 1 Co. 15:53-54; Rv. 21:4)
      5. A place of beauty—incorruptible, undefiled, unfading (1 Pet. 1:3-5)
      6. A place unlike this world (Mark 12:25; 2 Cor. 5:1; Phil. 3:20; Rev. 21:4b; 22:1-5)
  2. Do Not Be Mistaken About Life Before Death!
    1. Error begins when Scripture (Deut. 25:5-10) is mixed with human assumption
    2. Error grows when Scripture is not carefully studied (Matt. 22:29)
    3. The answer to the Sadducee’s question was right there in Scripture (Matt. 22:31)
    4. Imagined circumstances cannot overturn or rewrite revealed truth
    5. Every teaching and practice must come from and align with Scripture (Col. 3:17)
      1. God gives us every answer we need to know how to be saved and how to acceptably serve Him today (2 Pet. 1:3; 2 Tim. 3:16-17)
      2. We must respect the answer of the Bible and dare not question it (Luke 20:40)
  3. Do Not Be Mistaken About Preparing Now for Eternal Life
    1. Believe Jesus is the Son of God – John 3:16
    2. Repent of your sins and turn toward God – 2 Peter 3:9
    3. Confess your faith in Jesus Christ – Romans 10:9
    4. Be baptized into Christ – Mark 16:16
      1. God will forgive all of your sins – Acts 2:38
      2. God will add you to His church – Acts 2:47
      3. God will register you in heaven – Hebrews 12:23
    5. Live faithfully to Him – Revelation 2:10
