+Annemarieke Kroon Thanks so much for your question. In order to receive a true answer, we must refer to what is written in the Bible. You mentioned that when we die our bodies will be separated from our souls. But let’s first find out if this is true. The Bible teaches that when we die our bodies return to dust as taught in Genesis 3:19, “For dust you are, And to dust you shall return.” So what happens to the soul? The Bible also teaches, “My soul clings to the dust; Revive me according to Your word.” Therefore, the soul also dies and does not enter into heaven as the body lies in the grave.When will the souls be able to enter in to heaven? It is on the day reserved for judgment or what the Bible calls the Judgment Day (John 5:26-29; II Peter 3:7)We hope these verses were able to answer your question. Please do not hesitate to ask again.
