What In Hell Do You Want?

Hell: a place of eternal torment.

Before looking at hell with its eternal suffering, it is imperative to get a good understanding of who God is, as well as His nature. 1 John 4:16 tells us that God is love - "And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him." He is the originator of love and all His actions are directed by love. Jeremiah 31:3 informs us, "The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee." God wants to bless us into serving Him. He has already gone to death and hell for me and for you.

You have probably heard people say "hell is right here on earth," well I'm here to tell you that's not so my friends. You may be having some disappointment and struggles, and lots of depressing things may  be going on, but according to the word of God, what's going on here does not compare to what's happening in hell. Job says in chapter 21:30; "That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? They shall be brought forth to the day of wrath." 2 Peter 3:7 shows that hell is not burning now, and John 5:28-29 conveys the same message, so you can be assured that there is no hell here on earth. Each person will be punished beginning at the exact same time.

Remember, God doesn't send people to hell - they choose to go. Hell was not prepared for us; it was prepare for the devil and his angels because of sin. Let me share with you a few things that the word of God says about hell:

Isaiah 5:14 says, "Hell has enlarge herself, and opened her mouth without measure." The word also declares that in hell there will be torment with fire and brimstone, there will be weeping and wailing, gnashing of teeth (i.e. everybody biting each other), the smoke of their torment ascended up for ever and ever and they have no rest day nor night. 

Now ask yourself this question: what in hell do you want?

God is calling each of us - not out of fear of hell, but out of love. He wants us to get rid of every sin in our lives so we can enjoy an everlasting heavenly home with him. Let's not be deceived by the devil - he's actually going to be thrown into hell himself according to Revelation 20:10. Keep in mind  that everything that glitters is not gold and everything that's good to us is not good for us. So my friends, be as wise as a serpent, but as harmless as a dove!

With all that said, let the Church say Amen… and AMEN!
