Principal Point of Faith #3:
The Nature of Man
5. Is there any life after death?
(a) All hope of a life after death depends on a resurrection from
the dead, which will take place when Christ returns from heaven.
“But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen.
Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished” (1 Cor. 15:13, 18).
“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 rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall
be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
And thus we shall always be with the Lord” (Eccl. 3:19).
“For in death there is no remembrance of You; In the grave
who will give You thank?” (1 Thess. 4:13, 16-17).(See also Job
17:13-16; 19:25-27; Ps. 6:5; 22:29; 78:50)
