Where Are the Souls?

Dear Arno,I would like to ask you two questions: 1. When a person dies, where is his or her soul going? 2. Does the soul stay with the body that is buried in the tomb?God bless you all. -P. Lay, CA


Arno's Answer:


Man consists of spirit, soul, and body. At death, the body is buried, but the soul and spirit of a person born again are in the presence of the Lord, “We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord” (2 Corinthians 5:8). The grave only holds the body until the resurrection: “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed” (1 Corinthians 15:52).
 
The difference between a born-again person and one who is an unbeliever is explained in John 3:18, “He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already….”
