Judgement, Heaven & Hell: What Happens After We Die? | God’s Book
What really happens after we die? Is judgement something to fear? What does the Bible actually say about heaven, hell and eternity? In the final message of our God’s Book series, Lynn Swart explores one of the Bible’s biggest and most challenging questions: What happens at the end? Drawing from Revelation, Matthew 25 and the wider story of Scripture, Lynn reminds us that God’s judgement is not simply about punishment, but about perfect justice, restoration and the hope of a new creation. Most importantly, she points us to Jesus—the One who was judged in our place so that we can receive eternal life through Him. In this message you’ll discover: • Why God’s judgement is ultimately good news • The difference between the Book of Deeds and the Book of Life • What Jesus taught about the Sheep and the Goats • Why grace and truth always belong together • How God’s justice restores what is broken • The hope of heaven and the invitation to eternal life through Christ Rather than becoming consumed by speculation about Revelation, we’re invited to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus—the centre of God’s story from Genesis to Revelation. Key Bible passages: • Revelation 20–22 • Matthew 25:31–46 • John 5:24 • John 8:1–11 • Romans 3:23–24 • Psalm 96:12–13 God’s Book is a teaching series inspired by Andrew Ollerton’s bestselling book, exploring the Bible as one unified story that ultimately points to Jesus.
