Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station on today's edition of Pathway to Victory.

You may wonder, well, what part of us goes home to be with the Lord?

No, it's certainly not our physical body. Aren't you glad we don't drag this body we have with us and all eternity?

It's not this body, it gets buried, gets cremated, something happens to it. What part of us goes into heaven?

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress.

What happens to people the moment after they die? Are they immediately transported into heaven or hell? Do they simply cease to exist?

Or do they go into a period of spiritual slumber waiting for a day of future judgment?

Today on Pathway to Victory Dr. Robert Jeffress explains what happens to Christians immediately after death.

Now here's our Bible teacher to introduce today's message. Dr. Jeffress?

Thanks David and welcome again to Pathway to Victory.

Our subject throughout September is a place called heaven.

If you've been part of our listening family for a long time, it's possible you already have a copy of my original bestselling book on this popular topic.

But I've also written a brand new one that I'm certain you don't have yet, but should.

My new book is actually a gift book called Encouragement from a place called heaven.

You see I'm completely convinced that when you immerse your heart and mind in your future home in heaven, all of the sudden the problems in your life begin to dissipate.

Now let's be clear the problems don't magically disappear, but your anxiety does.

This new gift book is the perfect choice for a friend or a family member who's going through a difficult season right now.

So when you give a generous gift to support the Ministry of Pathway to Victory, I'll make sure a copy of my book is sent to your home.

Again it's the new book called Encouragement from a place called heaven.

Plus, as an added bonus, I'll make sure you also receive the helpful brochure called What Seven World Religions Teach About Heaven.

This is a clear and easy to understand resource that contrast seven major world religions and how they differ from the Bible on their views of heaven.

Now I'll say more about my book and other resources later, but right now it's time to turn our attention to the next question in our series.
