Proverbs 27:23 Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.

Proverbs 27:26 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field.

2 Peter 3:10: But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Let’s talk reality here.  The Middle East is a boiling pot.  Enemy nations are increasingly closer to nuclear weaponry.  Once they are armed, what will stop them from incinerating a vast part of the earth with residual contamination of the remainder of the earth a certainty. NOTHING!

If the world were destroyed today, where would you spend eternity?  Heaven?  Hell?  

God tells us in His Word that heaven is a place of rest in His eternal Presence. 

Here’s what God’s Word says about hell.

Jesus mentions hell many times  

Matthew 23:33 ...how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

Matthew 13:42, 49- 50  42: And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 49: So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, 50: And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Mark 9:43, 44 ...go into hell, into the fire that shall

Mark 9:47, 48 ...be cast into hell fire: Where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Luke 16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments,…  

Hell is mentioned by Peter & John

II Peter 2:4 But if God spared not the angels that sinned but cast them into hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved until judgment...

II Peter 2:9 The Lord knoweth how … to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished.

Revelation 20:13, 14, 15 ...and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them, and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the Lake of Fire…And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.  

Can You Escape Hell?

Hebrews 2:3 How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord…

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? 

None Other Name

Acts 16:30 ...Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

Acts 16:31 ...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

John 3:16,17  For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through Him might be saved.

I’m A Good Person. God wouldn't send me to hell.

Romans 10:11 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God;

Ephesians 2:8, 9 For by grace are ye saved by faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man boast.

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.

Romans 10:9 ...if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus Christ, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

 

This Is Only A Scare Tactic

Consider this:

You’re traveling down the highway.  Ahead, the bridge is washed away. If you continue on, your car is certain to plunge into the river and you will drown.  But...someone has put up a flashing light.  You slow down.  There’s another warning sign. “Bridge out ahead.” Now, will you continue on the same path, and tell yourself that it’s only a scare tactic? Or will you heed the warning and turn back from certain destruction?

 

Jesus warned of eternal destruction and damnation when He was on earth.  The Bible warns of the certain  condemnation to come.  But Satan wants you to ignore the warning.  In your heart, you know what you must do.  Say, Yes, to eternal salvation. 

Only You Can Chose

Do you have a guarantee that you will live another day? That choice will be gone if you die tonight, unsaved.  But you can heed the warning and come to Christ and eternal life right now, today.

“...if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus Christ, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Pray now to receive salvation:

Dear God, I know I’m a sinner.  I believe you sent your Son, Jesus Christ, to die for me. I ask now that You save my soul, change my heart and life, and help me to live for You.  Lord, thank you for saving me.  Amen.

If you have prayed to receive Jesus Christ into your heart and life, please find a church to grow in.

Tell others about your decision to stand for Christ. Share with them the knowledge that though they are sinners like you, they too can receive the same gift of eternal salvation that you did. Like you, their name can be written in God’s book of life. 

Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

DON'T WAIT UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE!!!

Luke 16:19-31 KJV

There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:  And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.  And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.  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, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.  Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:  For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
