Hell is Real
And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off ... and he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame... But Abraham said ... between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that they who would pass from here to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from there.[From the rich man and Lazarus -Luke 16:19- 31]
Dear friend, please read this. If you are not prepared for eternity, it will be the most important thing you will read in your life. Please know that hell is an actual place. But today, many people would rather believe it doesn't exist, because it is too horrible to imagine - eternal separation from God; existing in a place of torment forever and ever; outer darkness; no escape. So what do we do with hell? We can ignore it altogether and dismiss it as fiction. Or, we can take God at His Word and be prepared so that we know, in this life, for a certainty, that we will never go there. But, "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation," (Hebrews 2:3).
Before you read this, please know how much God loves you and longs for you to spend eternity in heaven with Him. Jesus has promised to all those that come to Him, "In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you ... I am the way, the truth and the life; no man cometh unto the Father but by me." (John 14:2,6). We have great and abundant hope NOW, TODAY, but we must respond NOW before it is too late. DO NOT TAKE A CHANCE ON THIS! IF YOU DISMISS IT, AND YOU DIE AND DISCOVER HELL IS REAL, IT WILL BE TOO LATE! THERE IS NO TURNING BACK!
One morning, just before I completely awoke, I had a vision of hell. Someone had just died. I followed their journey through the Valley of Death and experienced the horrors of hell. There was an opening to a cave outside and two signs on either side of the opening that said ONE WAY. We were drawn into that tunnel. There was complete darkness all around. The ground moved us along. I could hear water dripping and bats flying overhead and around us. I felt an incredible feeling of NO ESCAPE. The full feeling of dread washed over me as I realized there was no turning back. I saw the light of fire ahead, but it was smoky and hazy. The smell of sulphur almost overcame me. The smoke is so thick it burns your eyes. We came to an opening of a large pit, and where we stood, the opening retreated into the cave wall, so there was no place to go but DOWN. We fell fathomless depths to the bottom. The place where we landed was a low dimly lit tunnel. There were many hallways. People were trapped behind glass cubicles, like in a prison. A guide was there to explain things since the deceased person was bewildered and had lots of questions. He asked, "Will I ever get out of here, be able to go outside again?" The guide answered, "Yes, but you will never see the sun, or light of day, or beauty of nature again - ever." We went outside of the tunnels and it was dusk, but, it wasn't peaceful. I could see buildings and terrain, but I could not make out what the terrain or buildings were. I could not see the true image of things, since there was no light. The deceased asked, "Where are all the people?" The guide answered, "You don't want to see them. You are better off alone, lonely."
I got a glimpse of a huge party. People were drinking, dancing, cursing, swearing and fighting with each other. But no one had the satisfaction of forgetfulness, peace, or rest. There is no rest. These are the murderers, rapists, and most shocking of all, the good people. The deceased asked, "But, I was a good person." The guide said, "But, Jesus delivered you from for your sins and yet you rejected Him. We all did. This was the lie that we all believed - that if we were good enough we would make it to heaven." The guide continued, "One day God will judge you - everything you did and said will be revealed for Him to see. Then you will be cast into outer darkness. The worst part of this is that you will see what you did, and what you could have had. Your eyes will be open to the truth of Jesus and His Word, but it will be too late! You must live with the knowledge of what you "could have had" forever and ever."
"And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away, and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God, and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." (Revelation 20:12,14-15).
Dear friend, in hell you have no choices. THERE IS NO TURNING BACK! Come to Jesus today and secure your future in heaven with Him. Heaven is your only other option. DON’T MISS IT!
"And there shall in no way enter into it anything that defileth, neither he that worketh abomination, or maketh a lie, but they who are written in the Lamb's book of life. And there shall be no night there; and they need no lamp, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light, and they shall reign forever and ever." (Rev. 21:27; 22:5)
The Way of Salvation
The Lord will never turn away anyone who truly wants to know Him.
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Jesus is the only One who can save us.
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Philippians 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
Salvation gives us eternal life with Jesus …
John3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
But every person who rejects Jesus is condemned ...
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
A Prayer of Salvation
If you would like to receive Jesus into your heart and life today and also have the assurance that you will spend eternity in heaven with Him, please begin by saying this prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,I come to you in the name of Jesus. Your Word says, "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Acts 2:21). I call on you now and ask Jesus to come into my heart, forgive me for all my sins, and cleanse me. I ask you to be Lord over my life according to Romans 10:9-10 — "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." I do this now — I confess that Jesus is Lord and I believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead. In Jesus Name,Amen
