He gave us something very powerful. He put it in our hands. He gave us “free-will”.
Before God is loving, He is HOLY! There are more scriptures describing the Holiness of God than the love of God. In Revelation we see the Seraphim and Cherubim circling the thrown DAY & NIGHT crying HOLY, HOLY, HOLY! We have made God out to be some watered down panzy of Love, Love, Love! Although love is a part of His character, His Holiness reigns as a major attribute.
And lets not be mistaken, we are all a CREATION of God, but not all are a CHILD of God. You must be born again and washed in the blood of the Lamb who was slain from the foundation of the world.
I am not going to wait until I get to hell to believe that there is a hell. I am going to make up my mind now, just in case. God said there is one, I believe it. I leave the questions to some other time. Now is the day of salvation. You believe in God but not hell. You cannot see either one of them. God said your thoughts are not my thoughts and your ways are not my ways. Hell is for those who reject the sacrifice Christ made on the cross.
The Bible says that hell (gehenna) was made for Satan and his fallen angels.
“Then he [Jesus] will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels” (Matt. 25:41). And it will clearly be eternal punishment (v. 26). We need to forget about what others teach and read what the Scripture says.
God created mankind for fellowship. If we got to hell when we die, it’s not His fault but ours.
That’s why we have to repent of our sins. God cannot fellowship with sin and sin cannot enter into heaven.
What is hell? Jesus said that Hell was such a horrific place that it would be better for a man to pluck out his own eye or cut off his own hand rather than go there.
God is a creator and giver of life. To those whom say hell is not real and is only symbolic, they seem to be in denial and have no understanding of this reality. God is like a consuming fire – because sin burns up in his presence!
Here are some points to ponder:
(1) Everyone will exist eternally either in heaven or hell (Daniel 12:2,3; Matthew 25:46; John 5:28; Revelation 20:14,15).
(2) Everyone has only one life (this life) in which to determine their destiny (Hebrews 9:27).
(3) Whether someone spends eternity in heaven or hell is determined by whether that person believes (puts their trust) in Christ alone to save them (John 3:16, 36, etc.)
(4) Hell was designed originally for Satan and his demons (Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:10).
(5) Hell will also punish the sin of those who reject Christ (Matthew 13:41,50; Revelation 20:11-15; 21:8).
(6) Hell is conscious torment. Everyone in hell has his/her mental faculties in place. They can see, hear, feel, touch, smell, feel hunger, thirst, etc.
(7) Matthew 13:50 “furnace of fire…weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth”
(8) Mark 9:48 “where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched”
(9) Revelation 14:10 “he will be tormented with fire and brimstone” Hell is eternal and irreversible.
(10) Revelation 14:11 “the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever and they have no rest day and night”
(11) Revelation 20:14 “This is the second death, the lake of fire”
(12) Revelation 20:15 “If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire”
People, believe me, hell is real.
