There is a reality to the situation: this life is not really our life. When you study the Bible, you'll find that when God made us from the dust of the ground and the breath of life (Gen. 2:7), obviously not literally, but meaning the body and spirit.
Do you know what happens to the body and spirit when a person dies?
Eccl. 12:7 "and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it."Since the dust is representing our body, when we die our body returns to the ground. We see that when we are buried. However, what happens to the spirit? The Bible says that it returns to God, but God is in heaven. How can you return to a place you've never been before? Before we were born in this world, where must have our spirits been?
