Reincarnation?
WHEN WE DIE, DO WE COME BACK TO LIFE IN A DIFFERENT BODY AND MIND (i.e. REINCARNATION)?
No, we do not come back as a different person, animal or even a plant, as some say.
The Bible makes it very clear that man is given one chance to live on this planet once man dies he goes into the presence of God to be blessed or doomed for all of eternity.
2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. Note: he doesn’t say to be absent from the body is to be in a different one.
Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,
2 Corinthinas 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
After we live this life in this body (singular), then we see Jesus to be judged. If you are not ready this is a bad day. If you are ready this an awesome day.
Some people in the Bible did come back to life as godly men prayed for them. When they came back to life, in every situation, they came back in their original body and the same mind.
1 Kings 17:21-23 Then the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came back to him, and he revived. 23 And Elijah took the child and brought him down from the upper room into the house, and gave him to his mother. And Elijah said, “See, your son lives!”
Luke 7:12-15 And when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her. 13 When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.” 14 Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.” 15 So he who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother.
Since we only have one shot at living we need to make sure that it counts, not only for this life but for the life to come. The Bible says that our sins separate us form God, so if we die as sinners we will not be able to spend eternity in heaven with Him. Jesus came to take away our sins and make it possible for us to be with God for all eternity. We must agree with God that we are sinners and ask Him to forgive our sins, and then live for Him so we can go Heaven once this life is over.
Romans 10:9-10 … if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.
