Horrible place called Hell
We went fishing for awhile yesterday. It was so hot out there with the sun shining right down on me, and with the sun reflecting off the lake. And I can remember after we got back home from fishing, I started thinking on how horrible hell is and going to be for the person that dies without being saved. Because that 90 degrees that it was yesterday when I was out there fishing, is nothing when you read in God's Word, that hell is like a furnace of fire, that is never quenched.
I can't imagine how horrible hell is going to be like where the fire will never be quenched 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and where there is going to be constant wailing and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth).
I know these days churches and Christians doesn't speak about hell as much as we should. But Jesus spoke of hell and warned people about it, so should we. But in the right way, not going up to a person and say, if you don't come to believe on God's only begotten Son Jesus Christ and be saved, your going to hell. Which is true. But we need to explain to a lost person (how) to be saved by sharing with them the gospel (good news) of Jesus Christ.
By showing them in God's Word how we have (all sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23) And what Jesus did for us: (1 Corinthians 15:3-4 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures).
And to show that it's only through Jesus Christ that a person can be saved. Acts 13:38-39 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man (Jesus) is preached unto you the for- giveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things...
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
So we should speak of hell to them that are not saved. And let them know if they die being not saved, that they will go to that horrible place called hell.
Matthew 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
