Pastor Chris White says to all of you: HELLO MY FRIENDS. May the Lord bless you today.
HOLA MIS AMIGOS. Que el Señor los bendiga.
It is interesting that a
much higher percentage of people believe in the existence of heaven than
believe in the existence of hell. According to the Bible, though, hell is just
as real as heaven. The Bible clearly and explicitly teaches that hell is a real
place to which the wicked/unbelieving are sent after death. We have all sinned
against God (Romans 3:23). The
just punishment for that sin is death (Romans 6:23).
Since all of our sin is ultimately against God (Psalm 51:4), and
since God is an infinite and eternal Being, the punishment for sin, death, must
also be infinite and eternal. Hell is this infinite and eternal death which we
have earned because of our sin.
The punishment of the wicked dead in hell is described throughout Scripture as
“eternal fire” (Matthew 25:41),
“unquenchable fire” (Matthew 3:12),
“shame and everlasting contempt” (Daniel 12:2), a
place where “the fire is not quenched” (Mark 9:44-49), a
place of “torment” and “fire” (Luke 16:23-24), “everlasting
destruction” (2 Thessalonians 1:9), a
place where “the smoke of torment rises forever and ever” (Revelation 14:10-11), and
a “lake of burning sulfur” where the wicked are “tormented day and night
forever and ever” (Revelation 20:10).
The punishment of the wicked in hell is as never ending as the bliss of the
righteous in heaven. Jesus Himself indicates that punishment in hell is just as
everlasting as life in heaven (Matthew 25:46). The
wicked are forever subject to the fury and the wrath of God. Those in hell will
acknowledge the perfect justice of God (Psalm 76:10).
Those who are in hell will know that their punishment is just and that they
alone are to blame (Deuteronomy 32:3-5). Yes,
hell is real. Yes, hell is a place of torment and punishment that lasts forever
and ever, with no end. Praise God that, through Jesus, we can escape this
eternal fate (John 3:16, 18, 36).
