“...Then He will also say to those on His left,
‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for
the devil and his angels...:”
(Matthew 25:41 NASB).
“... [where their
worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.] If your
foot causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life
lame, than, having your two feet, to be cast into hell, [where their
worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.] If
your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out; it is better for you to enter the
kingdom of God with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be cast into hell, where their
worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched. “For everyone will be salted
with fire...”
(Mark 9:44-49 NASB).
“...They will be punished with eternal
destruction,
forever separated from the Lord and from his glorious power...”
(2 Thessalonians 1:9 NLT).
“...the
devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the
false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night
forever and ever...”
(Revelations 20:10 NASB).
“…EXCEPT YE REPENT, ye
shall all likewise PERISH…” (Luke 13:3 KJV).
*
“…[God,
the invisible Holy Spirit is]... GOOD and doest GOOD…” (Psalm 119:68 KJV). “...there
is “NONE” good but one, that is,
God” (Nahum 1:7 & Mark 10:18 KJV). “…Oh how great is thy GOODNESS…”
(Psalm 31:19 KJV). “…GOOD and upright is the Lord…”
(Psalm 25:8 KJV). “…For thou, Lord, is GOOD…” (Psalm 86:5 KJV). “...there
is none good but one, that is,
God...” (Nahum 1:7 & Mark 10:18 KJV). “…All he
DOES (God, the Holy Spirit DOES) is just and GOOD….” (PSALMS 111:7 NLT).
Thus, the LOVING God “….is longsuffering to
us-ward, NOT
WILLING that any should perish, but that ALL should come to
repentance…” (2 Peter 3:9 KJV). “…The
Lord isn't really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient
for YOUR SAKE. He does not
want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent…” (2 Peter 3:
9 NLT).
WHY? “…
The LORD God, [IS]...merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth…” (Exodus 34:6 KJV). “…But you, Lord, are a compassionate and
gracious God, slow
to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness…” (Psalm 86:16
NIV).
“…Don't
you see how wonderfully kind …God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you?
Can't you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?”
(Romans 2:4 NLT).
The UNREPENTANT REJECTS God’s TRUTH, but God makes sure
everyone, upon earth, gets a chance to HEAR his TRUTH one way or another. “...And the Good News about the
Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will
hear it;
and then the end will come...”
(Matthew 24:14 NLT).
God SPEAKS through CREATION. “…The heavens declare the GLORY
of God…” (Psalms 19:1 KJV). “…The heavens are telling of the glory of God…”
(Psalms 19:1 NASB). “…God’s glory is on tour in the skies…”
(Psalms 19:1 MSG). “… The heavens
declare His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His glory…”
(Psalms 97:6 NASB).
Creation is a “clearly seen”
CONFIRMATION of his EXISTENCE EVERYWHERE.
God USES his disciples to SPEAK to the
unrepentant. “… the disciples went
everywhere and preached, and the Lord worked through them, confirming what they said by many miraculous signs…”
(Matthew 16:20 NLT). “… God confirmed the message by giving signs and wonders and various
miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit whenever he chose…”
(Hebrews 2:4 NLT). “…The disciples went
everywhere and preached, and the Lord worked through them, confirming what
they said by many miraculous signs…” (Mark 16:20 KJV).
GOD SAYS: “... Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people’s hearts, and they will learn the truth. Then
they will come to their senses and escape from the devil’s trap. For they have been held
captive by him to do whatever he wants... (2 Timothy 2:25-25 NLT).
God’s EXISTENCE is revealed so POWERFULLY,
especially through his CREATION that NO human will have an EXCUSE to deny him. “…Since the creation of the world, God’s …POWER and Godhead (Father, Word & Holy Spirit [is
CLEARLY SEEN]; so that [MANKIND] are WITHOUT excuse [of his EXISTENCE]…”
(Romans 1:20 NIV). “… The heavens
declare His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His glory…”
(Psalms 97:6 NASB).
People don’t talk MUCH about HELL and
preachers don’t preach MUCH about HELL. The TRUTH of HELL don’t may people FEEL
GOOD, but it is part of God’s TRUTH, nonetheless.
Jesus SPOKE often about HELL in the New
Testament. It is UNFAIR to tell people about God’s HEAVEN and don’t WARN them
about God’s HELL.
Without Jesus Christ people are GOING to
HELL. They are HEADED straight toward ETERNAL PUNISHMENT.
It is a HARD truth, even for God’s people,
but denying it or ignoring it, won’t make it any less TRUE or REAL.
Many have HEARD the GOSPEL many times in
their LIFETIME, but totally AVOID the truths about HELL!!
People are in HELL, right now, weeping and
gnashing their teeth. They don’t have another opportunity or chance to REPENT
and accept Jesus Christ.
HELL is REAL, especially “IF” you believe HEAVEN
is REAL! “...Then He will
also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for
the devil and his angels...:”
(Matthew 25:41 NASB).
“... [where their
worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.] If your
foot causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life
lame, than, having your two feet, to be cast into hell, [where their
worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.] If
your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out; it is better for you to enter the
kingdom of God with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be cast into hell, where their
worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched. “For everyone will be salted
with fire...”
(Mark 9:44-49 NASB).
“...They will be punished with
eternal destruction,
forever separated from the Lord and from his glorious power...”
(2 Thessalonians 1:9 NLT).
“...the
devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the
false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night
forever and ever...”
(Revelations 20:10 NASB).
“…EXCEPT YE REPENT, ye
shall all likewise PERISH…” (Luke 13:3 KJV).
We go to HEAVEN for
enduring to the end with the indwelling
Holy Spirit. What happens to those who DON’T accept Jesus Christ or choose
to endure to the end? “
...HE (SHE) THAT “SHALL” (WILL) ENDURE UNTO THE END SHALL (WILL) BE SAVED...” (Matthew 24:13 KJV).
Many
of God’s people continue to PRACTICE a lifestyle of SIN, because they,
themselves, HAVE no FEAR of hell. They THINK they are SAFE from HELL, because
they have ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST, but they are not OBEDIENT and have NOT CHOSEN
to endure to the end, SO will they STILL BE SAVED, according to the bible? “ ...HE
(SHE) THAT “SHALL” (WILL) ENDURE UNTO THE END
SHALL (WILL) BE SAVED...” (Matthew
24:13 KJV).
What
does the bible say about God’s people who
are UNREPENTANT . “…my people
would not listen to me. They kept doing whatever they
wanted, following the stubborn desires
of their evil hearts. They went backward instead of forward” (Jeremiah 7:24 NLT). “... Whoever
remains stiff-necked
after many rebukes will
suddenly be destroyed--without remedy...” (Proverbs 29:1 NIV).
Stiff-necked
is the same as “stubborn.” Stubbornness is a product of an unrepentant MINDSET.
“…my
people
would not listen to me...” (Jeremiah 7:24 NLT). “…The harvest is past, the summer is ended,
and [YOU]… ARE
NOT SAVED...” (Jeremiah 8:20 KJV). “…If My people which
are called by My name shall humble
themselves, and pray and seek
My face, and TURN FROM their wicked ways…” (2 Chronicles 7:14
KJV). “… And …“If the righteous are barely saved, what will happen to
godless sinners?” (1 Peter 4:18
NLT).
An
unrepentant MINDSET is an unchanged mind that REJECTS following God’s HOLY
instruction, guidance, or corrections. “ ... But because you are stubborn and refuse to turn from your
sin, you are storing up terrible
punishment for yourself. For a day of anger is coming, when God’s righteous
judgment will be revealed. He will judge everyone according to what they
have done. He will give eternal
life to those who keep on doing good, seeking after the glory and honor and immortality that God offers. But he will
pour out his anger and wrath on those who live for themselves, who refuse to obey the truth and instead live lives of wickedness. There
will be trouble and calamity for everyone who keeps on doing what is evil—for the Jew first
and also for the Gentile. But there will be glory and honor and peace
from God for all who do good ....” (Romans 2:5-13 NLT). “ ...HE
(SHE) THAT “SHALL” (WILL) ENDURE UNTO THE END
SHALL (WILL) BE SAVED...” (Matthew
24:13 KJV).
An unchanged mind results in
the SAME consequences of an unrepentant MINDSET of a NON-BELIEVER, which is
judgement. For instance.
“... the Jews (or God’s people), who do have God’s law, will be judged by that
law when they fail to obey it.
For
merely listening to the [HOLY] law doesn’t make us right with God. It is obeying the [HOLY] law that makes us right in his sight...” (Romans 2:5-13 NLT). “ ...HE
(SHE) THAT “SHALL” (WILL) ENDURE UNTO THE END
SHALL (WILL) BE SAVED...” (Matthew
24:13 KJV).
God’s OWN people had to, FIRST; REPENT and return to
having faith in or dependence upon Jesus Christ for SALVATION. “…REPENT ye (change your mind) therefore, and BE CONVERTED (SAVED), that your sins may be blotted out (that
you may be DELIVERED from you sins)…” (Acts 3:19 KJV).
Once God’s OWN people
repent, they FREELY choose to abide (stay, remain) in Christ and Christ abides
in them! “…abide
in me, and I in you.
(John 15:4 KJV). “…If a man abide NOT in me, ‘he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered…” (John 15:6 KJV).“…The branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so
neither can you unless you abide in Me
... apart from Me you can do nothing…”
(John 15:4-6 NASB).
People who SAY they have
accepted God STILL “practice” a lifestyle of SIN, which is transgression
against a HOLY God.
No matter what you think, or
what your interpretation is, or what your opinion is; God DOES NOT have
covenant fellowship with ANYONE who PRACTICES SIN, he is TOO holy. HOLINESS and
SIN won’t MIX no more than OIL and WATER will.“... [Therefore,] ... little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices
righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; the one who practices sin is of the devil;...” (1 John 3:7-10 NASB & Jude 1:24 KJV).
Pay ATTENTION: “…what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?
And what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ (the
Word of TRUTH) with Belial (the DEVIL or Father of LIES)? Or what part hath he
that believeth (depends upon God) with an infidel (one who doesn’t depend upon
God)?” (2 Corinthians 6:14-15
KJV).
HOLINESS naturally separates
from SIN. “…[God, the Holy Spirit] cannot look on
wickedness with favor…”
(Habakkuk 1:13 NASB).
“…[God, the Holy Spirit’s]... eyes are too pure to approve evil…”
(Habakkuk 1:13 NASB). “…Because
of YOUR SINS, [God, the
Holy Spirit has] … turned away and can… not listen anymore [because he is in
the spiritual realm and YOU are not]…” (Isaiah 59:2 NLT).
“…EXCEPT YE REPENT, ye
shall all likewise PERISH…” (Luke 13:3 KJV).
“…If we “SAY” that we have fellowship with him, and WALK IN
DARKNESS (unrepentent), WE LIE, and DO NOT THE
TRUTH…” (1 John 1:6 KJV).
“…Bring
forth therefore fruits (fruits of righteousness) worthy of REPENTANCE (a true
change of mind), and begin
NOT to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto
you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. And
now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not
forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. And the
people asked him, saying, What shall we
do then? He
answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him
impart to him that hath none…”
(Luke 3:8-11 KJV). “…REPENT…”
(Acts 17:30 KJV). “…EXCEPT YE REPENT, ye
shall all likewise PERISH…” (Luke 13:3 KJV).
God’s STANDARD for
LIVING is HOLY and without HOLINESS “no one,”
and I mean “NO ONE” will SEE God,
the Holy Spirit. It is a CHOICE. “... Make
every effort ... to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord...”
(Hebrew 12:14 NIV). “...Work... at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord...”
(Hebrews 12:14 NLT).
HELL is REAL and GOING
to HELL is even more REAL! It is the punishment for NEGLECTING such a GREAT
SALVATION that the LOVING God provided through the death, burial, and
resurrection of Jesus Christ! “…God so
loved the world that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever
believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life”
(John 3:16 KJV). “... Herein is love, not
that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation
(substitute, intervention) for our sins.” (1 John
4:10 KJV). “…Christ
(the HEALING solution or CURE) also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the
unjust, that he might
bring us [back] to God …” (1 Peter 3:18 KJV).
“…[God,
the invisible Holy Spirit is]... GOOD and doest GOOD…” (Psalm 119:68 KJV). “...there
is “NONE” good but one, that is,
God” (Nahum 1:7 & Mark 10:18 KJV). “…Oh how great is thy GOODNESS…”
(Psalm 31:19 KJV). “…GOOD and upright is the Lord…”
(Psalm 25:8 KJV). “…For thou, Lord, is GOOD…” (Psalm 86:5 KJV). “...there
is none good but one, that is,
God...” (Nahum 1:7 & Mark 10:18 KJV). “…All he
DOES (God, the Holy Spirit DOES) is just and GOOD….” (PSALMS 111:7 NLT).
The LOVING God “….is longsuffering to
us-ward, NOT
WILLING that any should perish, but that ALL should come to
repentance…” (2 Peter 3:9 KJV). “…The
Lord isn't really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient
for YOUR SAKE. He does not
want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent…” (2 Peter 3:
9 NLT).
WHY? “…
The LORD God, [IS]...merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth…” (Exodus 34:6 KJV). “…But you, Lord, are a compassionate and
gracious God, slow
to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness…” (Psalm 86:16
NIV).
“…Don't
you see how wonderfully kind …God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you?
Can't you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?”
(Romans 2:4 NLT).
“... don’t forget Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns,
which were filled with immorality and every kind of sexual perversion. Those
cities were destroyed by fire and serve as a warning of the eternal fire of God’s
judgment...” (Jude 1 NLT).
“…For whatsoever things were
written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience
and comfort of the scriptures might have hope” (Romans 15:4 KJV). “Now all these things happened unto them for
ensamples: and they are written for our
admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come” (1 Corinthians
10:11 KJV).
Part of PREACHING the GOSPEL includes
telling the TRUTH about HELL! God’s OWN people NEED to be REMINDED.
They THINK they are SAFE, because they
have ACCEPTED and BELIEVED in Jesus Christ. DEMONS DO THAT, but ONLY those who
endure to the END shall BE SAVED! “…If My people which
are called by My name shall humble
themselves, and pray and seek
My face, and TURN FROM their wicked ways…” (2 Chronicles 7:14
KJV). “… And …“If the righteous are barely saved, what will happen to
godless sinners?” (1 Peter 4:18
NLT). “
...HE (SHE) THAT “SHALL” (WILL) ENDURE UNTO THE END SHALL (WILL) BE SAVED...” (Matthew 24:13 KJV).
“...What good is
it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save
anyone?....” (James 2:10-24 NLT).
“...Now someone may
argue, “Some people have faith; others
have good deeds.” But I say, “How can
you show me your faith (show your dependence upon God’s WORD) if you don’t have
good deeds (that PROVES you are depending upon God’s WORD)? I will show you my faith by my good deeds.”
You say you have faith, for you
believe that there is one God. Good
for you! Even the demons believe this (demons believe there is ONE God), and they tremble in terror...” (James
2:10-24 NLT).
The DEMONS believe,
but they are STILL going to HELL! “...the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of
fire and brimstone,
where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and
night forever and ever...”
(Revelations 20:10 NASB).
“...[and]... when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil...” (1 John
3:7-10 NLT).
“... Everyone who
sins is breaking God’s law, for all sin is contrary to the law of God ... So
now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the devil. Anyone (NO EXCEPTIONS) who does not
live righteously ... does not belong to God...” (1 John 3:7-10 NLT).
“...THESE will go away into ETERNAL PUNISHMENT, but the RIGHTEOUS into
ETERNAL LIFE! ...” (Matthew 25:45 NASB).
In this story, HELL’s
CORRIDOR, you saw how people IN HELL knew their punishment was JUST and they
ALONE were responsibility for their DECISION to BE there. “...I will proclaim the name of
the Lord;
how glorious is our God! He is the Rock; his
deeds are perfect. Everything he does is just and fair.
He is a faithful God who does no wrong; how just and upright he is! “But they have acted corruptly toward
him; when they act so perversely, are they really his
children? They are a deceitful and twisted generation...”
(Deuteronomy 32:3-5 NLT).
Those
in HELL’s CORRIDOR discovered HELL WAS REAL! It is a PLACE where there will be
weeping, gnashing of teeth, and everlasting torment.
However,
PRAISE the LOVING God, who sent JESUS CHRIST, his PLAN of SALVATION to HELP,
everyone who chooses to ESCAPE this REAL, but eternal FATE!
“…God so
loved the world that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever
believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life”
(John 3:16 KJV). “... Herein is love, not
that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation
(substitute, intervention) for our sins.” (1
John 4:10 KJV). “…Christ
(the HEALING solution or CURE) also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the
unjust, that he might
bring us [back] to God …” (1 Peter 3:18 KJV).
