is, His remarkable, overwhelming gift of grace to believers] is eternal
life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Rev20:15 And if anyone’s name was not found
written in the Book of Life, he was hurled into the lake of fire.
Just because you've never seen hell doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Suppose
for a minute, that as a Christian you were in glorious heaven, and your
most wicked foe were in hell, partly for the evil that they had done to
you. Suppose also, that you could somehow see through the darkness and
burning to see your enemy held in God’s just wrath. You see them in agony,
and realize that they will remain in torture forever. At this point, how
would you feel about your foe? You think “I wouldn’t wish that on my worst
enemy.” Then you justify and think about how that person didn’t want to
have anything to do with God during their life, then obviously they would
hate being in heaven, so they choose hell. Think about how you would feel
if those that you loved and cared about most ended up in hell because you
were afraid to offend? Charles Spurgeon wrote, "If you are idle in Christ
work, you are active in the devil's work". Brethren, as Christian's, we are
NOT to cram religion down the throats of unbelievers. We are to share the
love, joy, faith and hope we have in Jesus Christ. We are also to explain
what a relationship with the One True Living God is all about. And simply,
let our lost and broken world know that Jesus loves them and so do we.
