HERE’S WHAT YOU MUST DO TO GO TO HELL….NOTHING,

That’s right, You are condemned to Hell ALREADY, as John 3:18 warns, if you’ve not believed on the Son of God and you are merely religious and do not have a personal relationship with Jesus.

More than 150,000 people die every day. Tragically, many of those people die without knowing Christ. What fate awaits them? Do they really Rest In Peace? No! Sadly, those who reject God and His way of salvation don’t find rest when they die. They enter into eternal hell where there’s no peace for the wicked.

So, what does the Bible teach about hell?

Hell Is far from legend, myth, metaphor, or allegory. The Bible presents hell as a real place where wicked people suffer the wrath of God. Consider these vivid portraits of hell from two different New Testament writers:

Then the King will 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.”…These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life. (Matthew 25:41, 46)

And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:15)

Scripture presents a terrifyingly clear case for a literal hell. It’s a place where God punishes unbelievers for all eternity. Hell is not a state of mind or a hard life on this earth. Your state of mind can change; your circumstances can improve. Hell never changes, never improves. Hell is not chastisement; it’s everlasting, insufferable punishment at the hands of an angry God.

According to the revelation Jesus gave to the apostle John, the fate of every unbeliever is to,

…And he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever. They have no rest day and night. (Revelation 14:10-11)

Jesus and Hell

In scripture Jesus has the most to say about Hell. The existence of hell wasn’t something He questioned, debated, or defended, and He certainly didn’t apologize for it. He assumed the reality of hell just as much as He did the resurrection (John 5:28-29). Jesus viewed hell as a real place, a certainty, and so should you.

When Jesus talked about hell, His purpose was always to warn, not to raise questions or plant doubts. Consider the graphic words He used to portray hell—they clearly aren’t meant to provide comfort, but to frighten.

According to Jesus,

hell is a place of outer darkness (Matthew 22:13)

there is weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 8:12).

Hell is a fiery furnace (Matthew 13:42, 50)

of unquenchable fires (Mark 9:48-49).

Hell is a place of spiritual and bodily destruction (Matthew 10:28)

there are endless torments (Luke 16:23-24).

Hell is most certainly a place, a horrific place where agonizing conditions exist.

No Way Out

Hell offers no means of escape, rescue, or relief—no way out, ever. The occupants of hell are sealed in their damnation (Rev. 22:11). Friends and family can’t help; God won’t help. The time for mercy has passed.

As one who knows exactly what awaits the wicked, Jesus told the story of a man who was surprised to be in Hell, and who was tormented in hell:

This man cried out, “Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.”

Dante seemed to understand that message. His imaginary inscription over hell’s entrance, “Abandon hope, all ye who enter here,” rightly pictured hell as a place where mercy and hope are left at the door.

The Word of God leaves no doubt about the existence or nature of hell. God has told us everything we need to know about hell, and how to avoid it through the merits of Christ.
