人死后会怎样?天堂和地狱是真的吗?
What happens after death? Are heaven and hell real?
简答 Short Answer
圣经教导人死后有审判——与上帝永远同在(天堂)或永远与祂隔绝(地狱)。这不是恐吓,而是对我们选择的终极尊重。
The Bible teaches that after death comes judgment — eternal presence with God (heaven) or eternal separation from Him (hell). This isn't a threat but the ultimate respect for our choices.
详细解答 Detailed Answer
天堂不只是「美好的地方」,而是与上帝完全同在——爱、喜乐、平安的完全实现。地狱不只是「可怕的地方」,而是与上帝完全隔绝——失去一切美善之源。
C.S.路易斯说得好:「地狱的门是从里面锁上的。」上帝不是把人扔进地狱的暴君。相反,地狱是人一生拒绝上帝的最终结果。那些一辈子对上帝说「不要你」的人,上帝最终尊重了他们的选择。
正因为永恒的后果如此严重,福音才如此紧迫。上帝不愿一人沉沦,乃愿人人都悔改(彼后3:9)。今天就是恩典的日子。
Heaven is not merely a 'nice place' but the fullness of God's presence — the complete realization of love, joy, and peace. Hell is not merely a 'terrible place' but complete separation from God — losing the source of all good.
C.S. Lewis said it well: 'The doors of hell are locked from the inside.' God is not a tyrant throwing people into hell. Rather, hell is the final result of a lifetime of rejecting God. For those who spent their whole lives saying 'I don't want You,' God ultimately respects their choice.
Because the eternal consequences are so serious, the gospel is so urgent. God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Today is the day of grace.
