(Hebrews 9:27 – “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment”)

𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡:

Many religions teach purgatory, reincarnation, or a second chance after death. But the Bible rightly divided makes it clear: in this Dispensation of Grace, salvation is only available now, in this life, by faith in Christ’s finished work on the cross (1 Corinthians 15:1–4). Once death comes, the opportunity for salvation and service is gone forever.
