God says.....
It is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.
(Hebrews 9:27)
“ And the smoke ot their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day and night.”
( Revelation 14:11)
And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. ( Revelation 20:15)
“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” ( John 3:18)

There is no escaping the fact that all of us will be judged someday and that many will end up spending eternity in hell. A common misconception is that since God is loving, He wouldn't send anyone to hell. Therefore, people speculate that those who are unprepared for judgment day will either be allowed into heaven after a time of suffering foe their sins, and they will never be annihilated.
Only those whose names are written in the Book of Life will escape hell and will spend eternity in God’s kingdom. And whose names are written in that Book? Those who believe in Jesus Christ. They are the only ones who“ are not condemned. ”
Those who don't believe in Christ “are condemned already.”

Not quite as those who have trusted Christ for salvation are not judged but passed from judgment unto eternal life. Only those who die unsaved face the final judgment of the great white throne of revelation.

Believes stand before the judgment seat of Christ to have their works judged since they were saved but only the works are judged not the believers.

The Lambs book of life is at the great white throne judgment so the lost cannot protest that there is a mistake and their name is written there.

For the cause of Christ

For the children of God, life will never be over.......that's why the Promise is ETERNAL LIFE.

and, sadly, for those who deny Christ, eternal damnation will be their reward

So, the idea that life will be over ONLY applies to this earthly shell that houses our eternal souls.......

I think that we have really got to search ourselves, and see if we are really saved. Some think that all they have to do is believe in Jesus and they are saved. Even the devil believe in Jesus and shutter. Because hell is real. After we leave this Earth, if it is before Jesus return. People are sent to a heavenly place or a hellish place.

As soon as a person dies they are ushered into heaven or a holding area called hell, but these are only holding areas until the final judgement when everyone will be reunited with their bodies and come before Christ for judgement.

All those who don't know Christ as their personal Savior will be cast into the lake of fire, and all the believers will enter Gods everlasting Kingdom where it will be paradise.

One thing most people overlook is the fact that there are many different degrees or levels of punishment and reward for those who are saved. Hell has many levels, from the pits where it boiling hot all the time to cooler areas where the less sinful will go. Likewise Heaven will have many levels, those who done great things for the lord in this life will receive a great reward. They will rule entire cities and those who didn't do much will be like street sweepres.

Jesus said each one will be rewarded according to his works, so don't let anyone fool you into thinking that works aren't important. Some will spend eternity regretting all of these days of wasted opportunities to do great things and many just waste their precious God given time on idle and trivial things.
