Where does “the resurrection of life” (John 5:29) lead
to?
Heaven.
Where does “the resurrection of condemnation” (John
5:29) lead to?
The
“lake of fire”:
“And I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it,
from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found
no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before
God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is that
of life. And the dead were judged out of the things written in the
books, according to their works. The sea gave up the dead in it, and
death and hell delivered up the dead in them.
And they were judged, every one according to their deeds. Then death and
hell were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And
anyone not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of
fire.” (Revelation 20:11-15)
Who can just stay dead?
Nobody. Jesus said “all who are in the graves” (John 5:28) will
be resurrected, and He doesn't mean only those who were recently buried and
have yet to start decomposing. He means everyone who has ever died.
What does it mean to “have done good” (John 5:29)?
So they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the
works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that
you believe
in Him whom He has sent.” (John 6:28-29)
Why does Jesus say, “I can do nothing by Myself”
(John 5:30)?
He is talking not about ability but about “will”
(John 5:30). Even though Jesus is fully God, He still always seeks the
“will of”
God “the Father” (John 5:30) and does
nothing on His own will apart from the will of God the Father.
