Sam and I started marriage with a study
on Hell (way to start a marriage, eh?) It was morbid. Disturbing. Real....very
real.
Luke 16 shares
a little glimpse of what hell will be like for those who do not put their trust
in God. "The rich man shouted, 'Father Abraham, have some pity!
Send Lazarus over here to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my
tongue. I am in anguish in these flames.’'
Some people picture hell as horns, massive orgies and eternal
games of beer pong. But this is a lie. Hell will be an eternal fire where
people will be begging for even a drop of water because flames will consume
them night and day. They will be alone in agony for eternity.
If you know me, and have trusted my sincerity in the past or
present, please continue reading.
I love you with these words.
We have no idea what tomorrow holds. We can’t know
tomorrow- but we can know eternity. There is a real Judge at the end of this
lifetime and He will judge each one of us. Those who will be saved will be
rescued because of their faith in Jesus Christ, not because of their good
deeds. They are bought by the blood of Jesus- not by their charities or
genuineness or title as “reverend” “pastor” or “nun”. Jesus is our only hope. Jesus is our great Rescuer. No one
else. No other god. Just Jesus.
We all need a Savior. We have all lied, cheated, murdered,
and hated. We have all broken at least one of God’s laws, and for that we
deserve eternal damnation. These are the wages for our sins, but Jesus has a
precious gift that He bought for us when He died on the cross. Eternity with
the Love we were made for! The Love we were designed for! Eternal marriage with
our forever Husband, Jesus Christ. Are you thirsty? Come to Him! Are you
hungry? He will invite you in with His feast! Do you feel alone? He will
embrace you because He knows you by name!
There has been a sense of urgency to write you this truth.
Some of you will despise this message. Some of you will complacently exit out
this screen. But some of you know, or one day know this same sense of
urgency. We don’t know what tomorrow will bring. And I love you. The world is
spitting lies at you and you believe them because they sound better to your
ears. You have a soul, man! And it’s going one of two places after this. Sell
yourself out for Christ, He will never fail you. He will never leave you. He
will always love you. You need Him. Eternity is at stake.
