ARE YOU LIVING OR DYING?
HEAVEN OR HELL
Every single person here tonight is gonna face eternity some day....
When a person dies a physical death here, he’s not dead like a dog or a cat or deer something like that...
When a person dies, We face eternity....
And what I mean here, is that,
You are gonna face up to Jesus Christ..
Matthew 25:46 says:
and these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into
life eternal!!!
These un-righteous people here, they’ll
be cast into hell, or the lake of fire...
it tells us in Revelation 20:15
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire..
The lake of fire is that terrible and final dwelling place where the whoremongers and the adulterers and the liars and the murderers and the rapists, and the sinners
and the list goes on and on and on...
This is where they are going....
You’re gettin the picture here right??
We all need to be giving thanks to God for all the warnings that He gives us in His Word..about this terrible place..
And those of us, who have given our lives and hearts to Jesus Christ need to be giving Him Praise, for allowing us to be a part of a beautiful place with streets of Gold and Walls of Jasper and Gates of Pearl....
That He’s gone to prepare for us!!!
This is that wonderful place tonight called Heaven....
Everything I have read about Heaven in God’s word is all good news...AMEN
BUT, Everything I have read about hell is nothin but bad news tonight....
This is the one thing about God’s Word, it points out the good stuff, but it points out the bad stuff just as well!!!!!!!
And us Christians need to be reaching out to our sinner friends and loved ones,
We need to be spreading the good news...
and telling them about this wonderful place
called Heaven, and warning them away from that terrible place called hell!!!!!
Cause when someone dies, that don’t know Jesus where do they go????? HELL
The Book of Mark chapter 9 tells it like this
AND if thy hand offend thee cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
This is plainly telling us that there is literal fire in hell and it never stops!!!!!AMEN
And it says if thy hand offend thee cut it off...Now we know we ain’t supposed to whack off our hand, this means we have to stop the evils and the bad things we do in this world....OR ELSE!!!!!
Like for example it would be better for a sinner to give his soul to Jesus Christ and go to heaven, than to continue on in his sinful life and end up in this place called hell....
The Bible Says:
Where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched!!!!!
These Verses tell us very plainly of a place
called hell......this don’t leave any room for un-belief now does it....
But there’s plenty in this life who are
plain ole un-believers......
Hell is a terrible place that is nothing but everlasting punishment....
Matthew chapter 25 said
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal...
God’s word tells us plenty about what hell’s gonna be like but it also gives specific details about the kind of people that are gonna go there as well......
In the book of Psalm it says:
The wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that forget God!!!!!
This verse said the wicked shall be turned into hell....
Most people would agree that there ought to be an eternal dwelling place for those who are wicked and mean!!!!AMEN
AND THERE IS JUST THIS PLACE!!
And maybe its terrible to say but there have been lots of mean and wicked people who’s lived on this earth and hell is their final home that they’re living in, Right Now...
The Bible says the wicked or the redeemed go to hell!!!!!
and unless a person is borned again, whether he’s evil or wicked here on this earth or not The Bible Plainly says...
He cannot see the Kingdom of God!!!
So we can see from the Bible that the wicked go to hell....
And you don’t have to be a wicked person to miss out on Heaven...and Go to hell...
all you have to do is reject Jesus Christ
and forget Him, and deny Him...
Leave God out and reject Jesus Christ and guess what? when you die you go to hell...
But on the other hand....no matter what terrible thing you’ve done, no matter what kind of terrible sins you’ve committed...
