Review Questions

These questions are designed to help you review important material covered in the lecture.

  1. What is “individual eschatology”? Define the terms “regenerate” and “unregenerate” in the context of the lesson.
  2. Explain the present state of the unregenerate, including a description of spiritual death and Augustine’s states of moral ability before and after the Fall.
  3. How do the regenerate come to experience spiritual life in the present state? How does this affect their moral ability?
  4. What is the intermediate state? What makes it unusual?
  5. Why do both the regenerate and unregenerate experience physical death?
  6. How do unregenerate souls experience the intermediate state? What do the names typically used for “hell” in Scripture teach us about the nature of their situation?
  7. Describe how the Bible presents the experiences of regenerate souls during the intermediate state. Use specific Scripture references to support your answer.
  8. What is the general resurrection, and where will it take place? Cite at least three Scripture references to support your answer.
  9. Describe the final state of the unregenerate. How long will this state last?
  10. Describe the final state of the regenerate. According to Scripture, what will the new heavens and new earth be like?

Application Questions

Application questions are appropriate for written assignments or as topics for group discussions. For written assignments, it is recommended that answers not exceed one page in length.

  1. Can you recall the time when you were spiritually “reborn”? What were the circumstances or events that led you to spiritual life?
  2. How would you respond to someone who says that it’s unjust for God to punish all humanity for Adam’s sin?
  3. Because the unregenerate are not motivated by love for God, even their good deeds do not earn God’s favor. How does this affect your perspective on good works? What role do you think good works play in the Christian life?
  4. The unregenerate heart is hostile to God. What various approaches have you used to try to reach those who are at enmity with God?
  5. How do we as Christians experience eternal life in the present?
  6. We will not be completely free from sin while we live in our mortal bodies. How does this truth cause you to rely on God’s strength in your struggle against sin?
  7. If we know that our souls go to be with God after we die, why is the physical death of a believer still so difficult for us to accept? How can we comfort others who are grieving the loss of a believing loved one?
  8. We can have hope that we will enjoy the blessings of the intermediate state after we die. How might the hope for these future blessings encourage you today?
  9. Many people dislike the doctrine of hell and eternal torment. How might you demonstrate the justice of hell to those who object to this biblical teaching? Do you think you should talk about hell in evangelistic conversations? Why or why not?
  10. The Bible teaches that we will be resurrected with eternal, glorified and physical bodies. What does this doctrine teach us about the value of our physical bodies?
  11. What is the most significant thing you learned in this lesson?
