Preachers Of Hell Are Soul Lovers. by Eyinjuoluwanimi: 10:28am On Jul 08, 2020
The doctrine of hell is uncomfortable for most people and most preachers. This with the motive of not wanting to scare people.
However, our understanding of hell shapes our view of the GOSPEL, GOD’S HOLINESS, and our DEPRAVITY. If we don’t accept the reality of hell, we won’t rightly understand the Glory of the Gospel.
REALITY OF HELL
If we read through the Scriptures, Jesus talked about hell and gave a vivid description of it.
In Luke 16, he describes a great chasm over which
"none may cross from there to us."
In Matthew 25, Jesus tells of a time when people will be separated into two groups, one entering into his presence, the other banished to "eternal fire."
Jesus talks about hell more than he talks about heaven, and describes it more vividly. There’s no denying that Jesus knew, believed, and warned against the absolute reality of hell.
Jesus doesn’t only reference hell, he describes it in great detail.
He says it is a place of eternal torment (Luke 16:23), of unquenchable fire (Mark 9:43), where the worm does not die (Mark 9:48), where people will gnash their teeth in anguish and regret (Matt. 13:42), and from which there is no return, even to warn loved ones (Luke 16:19–31).
He calls hell a place of “outer darkness” (Matt. 25:30), comparing it to “Gehenna” (Matt. 10:28), which was a trash dump outside the walls of Jerusalem where rubbish was burned and maggots abounded.
REASON FOR HELL
Jesus has to talk about hell because it is the fate that awaits all people apart from him.
Because of Adam’s sin, we’re all guilty and deserve God’s eternal punishment. Contrary to popular belief, hell is not a place where God sends those who have been especially bad; it’s our default destination. We need a rescuer or we stand condemned.
So we’re left with two options: stay in our state of depravity and be eternally punished, or Submit to the Savior and accept his Gift of Redemption through Christ Jesus.
BELIEVE IN CHRIST JESUS AND YOU BE SAVED!!!!
