Question:
What happens to the body, spirit, and soul of the believer after death?

Answer:
For the believer, when we are absent from the body (dead), we are present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8; Luke 23:43).  That means that while the body is buried in the ground, our soul and spirit are not in the body, but are in the presence of the Lord.  This is a temporary state which will be done away with when the Lord Jesus comes for His Church.  At that point, our body, soul, and spirit will be re-joined (1 Thessalonians 4:14-17), and then we will forever be with the Lord…spirit, soul, and body.  Of course, our bodies will be changed into incorruptible bodies that are fit for our existence in Glory (1 Corinthians 15:53).
