Resurrection Life of Jesus Church
We are a Bible centered group of believers who desire to grow in the full knowledge of Jesus Christ without compromise to His Word. We believe, teach and practice all things that Jesus taught and were practiced by the Church in the book of the Acts of the Apostles. Jesus called his disciples to be salt and light.
Salt is a preservative but it is also something that adds savor and enjoyment to our daily food. Light is a symbol of truth; it is comforting, penetrating, guiding and exposes darkness. We seek to preserve biblical truth and shed the glorious light of the Gospel in a world that is consumed by darkness.
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
Part 86: Paradise and Hell
RLJ-1987 — NOVEMBER 3, 2024
The Bible is clear that there is life after death. Those who died prior to Jesus’ resurrection were taken to paradise or hell. There are no dead humans, only dead bodies. This is why Jesus told the malefactor on the cross that He was going to paradise after He died.
It was an enjoyable place where people waited for the Messiah to be incarnated and perform His redemptive work. People were constantly arriving from the physical realm after their bodies died. One day a voice announced, “The Messiah is here!” A roar filled paradise and changed into songs of praise as the crowd realized the dream had finally been fulfilled – the Redeemer was standing among them and it was none other than the Son of God!
Jesus told the inhabitants of Paradise that they would soon leave for heaven. Then He crossed over the chasm to hell and announced to its miserable inhabitants that the redemption was complete, but none of them would benefit from it. Continued >>>
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
