The New Testament records Jesus referring to death as a sleep in contrast to the immediate judgment doctrine's liberal denial. In the [[Gospel of John]], Lazarus of Bethany, the brother of Mary and Martha, dies and was resurrected by Jesus, who said, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I go to awaken him."<ref>[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+11%3A11-15&version=ESV John 11:11–15]</ref> When those around Him mistakenly thought Jesus talked of literal sleep rather than death, He bluntly clarified, "Lazarus has died."

The doctrine of [[salvation]] teaches that salvation means being spared, or "saved", from judgment. Jesus said in John 3:18, "Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God."
