The Severity of Hell Part 2

 

This is part 2 of this teaching on hell. How long has it been since you heard a sermon on hell? Do you consider the subject tasteless and unloving? If so, how do you reconcile the fact that Jesus taught on hell? If He is your Master, why do you not follow Him? I wrote the following in part 1:

"If you attend church on a regular basis, how long has it been since you heard a message on hell? Most pastors prefer to teach on the soft and gentle subjects like love, grace, blessings and happiness. If a pastor never preaches on hell, you may rest assured that they are an unsaved hireling working for Satan under cover as a minister. How can I say that? Simple, if I was a watchman on  bridge and I knew the bridge was out because it had been sabotaged by a cruel individual in the midst of a storm and I saw cars headed that way and I only told them how great the road was and how wonderful the view, I would not be a true watchman. I would be someone who was working for the cruel individual that sought to destroy as many people as he could with his plan to kill and destroy."

More Scriptures on hell:

1. A lake of fire: Rev. 20:15: "And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire."

2. Fire and brimstone: Rev. 14:10: "he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb."

3. Unquenchable fire: Matthew 3:12: "His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."

4. Outer darkness: Matthew 8:12: "But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

5. Devouring fire: Isaiah 33:14: "The sinners in Zion are afraid; Fearfulness has seized the hypocrites: 'Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?'"

Friend, are you in danger of hell fire? Are you among the "unsaved religionists?" Do you think you are a "good person" and your righteousness will earn you a place in heaven? NO!!! Only through the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ may you enter into the glories of heaven.
