0:00.0 | We're live. All right. This is 20 questions with me, Pastor Mike, trying to answer your guys questions and give you the most biblical answer I can, |
0:14.5 | which includes sometimes me saying that I just don't actually know. |
0:18.2 | But the first question today is the topic of, do I go directly to be with God when I die will I see him immediately or is it some kind of like soul sleep that's a phrase that people use is it like a |
0:30.0 | sole sleep type of thing that goes on well let let me say, I'm going to give a short answer to this question. It could use a large unpacking in a whole video of course, but everything could. So these are the short answers today. The first thing to know is this is that when the believer dies, that body that they die in will later be resurrected in some miraculous fashion. God's going to resurrect that body not just bring it back to life |
0:56.1 | but but bring it back different bring it back glorified bring it back new And so that will be our future resurrection. |
1:04.5 | Now that's far in the distance. |
1:06.4 | This question isn't about that future resurrection. |
1:08.6 | Obviously we'll be with God in our new bodies |

1:30.8 | you won't hear me doing that very often but I'll explain why because I'm not actually quoting it I'm not really quoting it I'm not really |
1:36.5 | quoting it at all I'm I'm summarizing a teaching that's in the passage the quote goes like |
1:41.7 | this absent from the body to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. |
1:46.1 | You may have heard that quote and then you go to look at the passage and you go, |
1:48.7 | wait a minute, it doesn't have that phrase in it. And that's true, it doesn't have that phrase in it it but let's look at what it does say it says |
1:54.9 | so we are always of good courage we know that while we are at home in the body that's |
1:59.3 | I'm alive in this physical body we are away from the right? So I have God's presence with me by his spirit, but I don't have his presence in the ultimate sense that I will have in eternity. |
2:10.0 | For we walk by faith and not by sight, yes, we are of good courage and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord |
