How To Get Rid Of Hell

“When the milk is turning and the toast is burning,

Captain Crunch is waving ‘farewell’;

When the ‘big one’ finds you may this song remind you,

That they don’t serve breakfast in hell.”

Well, at least you know. Not that you’re worried or anything. But when you’re dead, it’s too late to Get Rid of Hell.

V. GET RID OF SIN. Just in case you’ve not realized that everything I’ve said up to this point was VERY tongue-in-cheek, let me say this real clear: There is only one way to Get Rid of Hell and that is to LET JESUS GET RID OF THE SIN IN YOUR LIFE! You may not like it. You may not want to admit it. You may not want to hear it. But Sir/Ma’am, one day you will look God in the eye and what you did with your sin during your lifetime will determine whether you Got Rid of Hell for eternity.

“Why,” you say, “would you preach about hell when it’s such an uncomfortable subject?” Because God doesn’t want you there. Matthew 25:41 tells us that God never intended for you and I to go there, but that hell was originally “prepared for the devil and his angels.” Things don’t just go away because we ignore them. Hell is one of them. We do not preach with judgmentalism this morning for we are all sinners saved by grace, but we preach with the same sense of urgency felt by Jonathan Edwards in his… Illustr. – Read from Jonathan Edward’s famous message, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.”

“How Do You Get Rid of Hell?” There’s only one sure way. It’s the way of the cross. I’m telling you the truth. Did you know that there is not even one unbeliever in hell? Most were probably nonbelievers when tossed down there, but immediately upon arrival, their eyes were opened. Everybody down there believes in Jesus. Once they were cast in, they knew they had missed the opportunity of a lifetime – with Jesus. Hell will make a believer out of you.

CONCLUSION: God wants you to be saved. He’s done everything He could for you to be saved. He asks in Ezekiel 18:23 (LB) – “‘Do you think I like to see the wicked die?’ asks the Lord, ‘Of course not! I only want him to turn from his wicked ways and live?’” He wants to Get Rid of Hell for you. The man on the cross is the key to Getting Rid of Hell. Romans 10:9.
