Many people teach about mercy and compassion of God, but what aboutGods justice, because the wage of sin is death? God is also just to punish those who committed sins and do not repent, Christ paid for the penalty of your sins and mine in Calvary 2,000 years ago, and those who do not accept this gift of salvation, will go to everlasting punishment in HELL, GOD’S WORD ON IS THERE REALLY A PLACE CALLED HELL? Matthew 7:13 . . . “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose the easy way.” Matthew 13:49-50 . . . That is the way it will be at the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked people from the godly, throwing the wicked into the fore. 2 Peter 2:4 . . . God did not spare even the angels when they sinned; he threw them into hell. Revelation 20:10 . . . Then the Devil . . .was thrown into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur . . .There they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. Although we don’t know where hell is, it definitely exists. WHAT IS HELL LIKE? 2 Peter 2:4 . . . God did not spare even the angels when they sinned; he threw them into hell, in gloomy caves. Revelation 19:20 . . . Both the beast and his false prophet were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. Jude 1:7 . . . Those cities were destroyed by fire and are a warning of the eternal fire that will punish all who are evil. Luke 14:22-24 . . . The rich man also died and was buried, and his soul went to the place of the dead. There, in torment, he saw Lazarus in the far distance with Abraham. The rich man shouted, “Father Abraham, have some pity! Send Lazarus over here to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in anguish in these flames.” Our imaginations can not comprehend how horrible hell is. Here on earth we tend to think in time spans that have a beginning and end. There will be no end to hell. WHO WILL BE SENT TO HELL? Revelation 20:15 . . . Anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire. Jude 1:15 . . . He will bring the people of the world to judgment. He will convict the ungodly of all the evil things they have done in rebellion and of all the insults that godless sinners have spoken against him. Many people will be surprised on judgment day to find that living a good life and being successful did not secure their place in heaven. HOW CAN I BE ASSURED THAT I AM NOT GOING TO HELL? John 3:16 . . . God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. John 14:6 . . . Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” 1 John 4:17 . . . As we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we are like Christ here in this world. Romans 10:9-10 . . . If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. There is only one way to be certain that you are included in the Book of Life. You must confess your sin and believe in Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. By taking this step you have secured your place in heaven and you don’t have to fear hell again.
