Our spirit is never "asleep" (as some teach incorrectly) and it was designed to exist within a physical body. The spirit/soul exists forever and is always conscious. While the human body is temporary and eventually dies and disintegrates, the human spirit ( also called the soul) is eternal. (To learn more about this principle, please listen to our Genesis study.) As the earth goes, so goes our physical body. The material God used to construct the human body came "from the ground," according to Genesis 2, therefore, the curse on the earth also condemned the human body to die, since the body is part of the earth. The human body grows old and dies because of the curse God pronounced on the earth following Adam's sin in Genesis 3. The experience of death differs depending on whether a person is a saint (i.e., saved by faith in the Lord) or an unbeliever, and when in history a person lived.įor all humanity, the Bible teaches that when a person's body dies, the body returns to dust. ![]()
