Hell Is Real!


“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8



Most people fail to understand that hell is a real place, a place of torment for the lost. With all the misconceptions about God and the reality of the scriptures, the truth about judgment and hell has lost its place in people’s conversations. The subject of either (judgment or hell) is unsettling to the average person who attends church. Pastors and Christians in this world have forgotten to remind sinners of the consequences of sinful behavior. They speak of a make-believe salvation that they can accomplish if they will just choose it and work for it, totally eliminating God and Jesus from the equation. God says hell is real, a place built for Satan and his angels, however we see it is a real place built for lost sinners, the unbelieving. Think about it, we are all liars, no matter how innocent, how small, or irrelevant the lie is, it is still a lie. And God said all liars will end-up in “the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone” which is called hell. Do not be fooled by that sweet pastor, or that wonderful Christian who refuses to believe and teach the truths of God’s word to benefit their church and pocketbook. The truth is all unbelieving souls in this world that die lost will Jesus Christ put into hell as an eternal punishment for your sins starting with your unbelieving heart.  Remember the rich man in the story of The Rich Man and The Beggar named Lazarus in Luke chapter 20? In verses 22 and 23 we read, “…the rich man also died, and was buried; (23) And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments…” This rich man was greedy, and he was an unbeliever in Jesus Christ, but we have no idea how bad he was outside of that. All we needed to know is he went to hell and it was a place of torments “… in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments…”. In Revelations 21 God says hell is that “which burneth with fire and brimstone”. So, for the “the fearful, and unbelieving” this will be your eternal home, in the lake which eternally burns with fire and brimstone. People who fail to see the truth About Jesus Christ are the fearful, and unbelieving and are destined for the eternal fires of hell. It is not about making choices or decisions, it is not about prayers and works, it is not about your morality in this world, no not at all, it is about believing in Jesus Christ as your Saviour. Believing that He died as your substitute on that cross, believing that He was buried and rose again on the third day. It is believing that His blood is a sufficient cleaning for your sins, all your sins. See, this is what most preachers, pastors, churches, and Christians are missing in their conversation with you because they are afraid you will be offended, or they have no idea themselves about this truth. Folks, hell is real and if you do not trust in Jesus Christ as your Saviour you will be in this real place called hell when you die. See, it is not about sin, Adam sinned enough for us all. “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.” 1 Corinthians 15:22 But look at the last part of that verse “even so in Christ shall all be made alive” Not by your actions but in Christ Jesus and by His actions, from His arrest, His condemnation by the people, the beating He took, the humiliation He suffered between the beating and the being hung on the cross, and the death. This is the actions that can save you from the eternal lake of fire and brimstone. If you are fearful and unbelieving of this truth, then hell will be your eternal home no matter what else you have done in life. John said it best when he saw Jesus coming unto him, “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” John 1:29 Are you a believer in Jesus Christ or a future hell dweller unbeliever?
