Q: "Will there be a second chance for salvation after death?"
A: While the idea of a second chance for salvation is appealing, the Bible
is clear that death is the end of all chances. Hebrews 9:27 tells us
that we die, and then face judgment. So, as long as a person is alive,
he has a second, third, fourth, fifth, etc. chance to accept Christ and
be saved (John 3:16; Romans 10:9-10; Acts 16:31). Once a person dies,
there are no more chances. The idea of purgatory, a place where people
go after death to pay for their sins, has no biblical basis.
- So true.
