Hell: Where We Don’t Want to Go

Do you want to go to heaven or hell?II Peter 3:10: The earth will one day

come to a surprising and sudden end.Hebrews 9:27: “And as it is appointed

for men to die once, but after this the judgment.”

Romans 3:23: “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

We all want to go to heaven, but we do not deserve to go to heaven.

Because in hell, I would be separated from the presence of God.

II Thessalonians 1:9: “These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power.”

Acts 17:28: All of us (Christian or non-Christian) live, move and have our being.

In hell, there is no light, life or ability to move; you’re only cut off from God.

Because in hell, I would face absolute torment.

Matthew 25:46: “And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Luke 16:19-31: Rich man in torment.Cries and pleas of the rich man (v. 24, 27-

28); notice the reversal of fortune.Once you have died, there is no way to

change your destination (v. 26).

Because my stay in hell would be eternal.The punishment is everlasting (Matthew

18:8; 25:41; Jude 7).Romans 11:22: “Therefore consider the

goodness and severity of God.”Matthew 10:28: “And do not fear those

who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”
