Sooner or later, we all are required to drink from the bitter portion of death. As a result of the sin of Adam, death is the fate of all mankind. But what happens afterwards? What happens in the afterlife? In that, we are all different. The state of a person after they pass depends completely on their righteousness and the choices they made in their life. No one likes to think about their own mortality. No one likes to ruminate on the fragility of their life. No one likes to imagine their own death. But as we advance in life, it’s imperative to prepare. In this podcast, we’ll learn the principles of preparing for the afterlife.
