A life

Do you believe in the life after death? Or are you afraid to die?

    Before, I was afraid to die. To meet my ending and my last breathe here on Earth. Why? Because I did not know, what lies ahead in the after life. I did not know of what will I see in the after life. Will it be just like in the Bible stories? Or our life here on earth will be our last?

     When I was a kid meeting my death was a joyous thing for me because I would see heaven, Jesus Christ and angels. But as I grow up, my mind begun to open and realize the truth. I began to be curious and questionable in the life after our stay here in this world.

    My doubt, questions and fear was answered. It was answered through this story our religion teacher told us. A man named Stanley (sorry I forgot his surname) was brought back from the dead after 24 hours. The doctors were so amazed by how his body would stay warm despite the fact he was announced to be dead.

             Based on Stanley, he saw his family weeping beside his dead body. Suddenly, a strong force like a wind carried him to a door. It was the portal to heaven. It opened by itself and revealed a man. With him is the Book of Life, where all the records of people who died are listed. When he searched for Stanley’s name, his name was not listed. It means it is still not his time to die.

             But before he left, a powerpoint of his life was viewed. It showed him the good and bad things he had done on Earth. If his life was to be waited, the Bad will outrun the Good. If it was not his time, there is a great possibility he will end up in hell.

           Based on our discussion, hell is only for the fallen angels. It was formed when Lucifer defied God to bow down to men. Because we are considered low. But why do sometimes we end up in hell? It is because we fall from sin and temptation.

         In every sin and darkness, there is always hope. Hope for us to make our wrong doings from right. During our stay here on Earth, let us live a life of goodness and meaning. God never told us our due date or when we will die. Because if we know our due date we will live our last year in goodness and the rest in sin.

     Let us make all of our years here on Earth meaningful. Let us believe, there is a life after death. There is a life out there, waiting for us. Our life in the next stage is a transition of our life here on Earth. But merrier and better
