A Solemn Warning
Only a foolish person would ignore a siren of
warning. Why, then, do we so often overlook or
ignore the shocking alarms that appear in
Scripture?
Jesus did not want us to be caught off
guard by spiritual truths, no matter how
unsettling they may be. For this reason, He
honestly and meticulously revealed in
Scripture obvious areas of caution for His
people. One of those clear warnings was the
absolute reality of a final judgment and the
subsequent punishment for those not found in
Christ. Simply put, He wanted us to know about
hell.
Many people are uncomfortable with the
notion of hell. Some even declare that hell is
impossible, because it contradicts their view
of God. But we must never allow emotions to
color the way we interpret Scripture. God’s
Word is not here to make us feel better, but
to reveal truth. Therefore, we cannot allow
our discomfort with the issue to distract our
attention.
We must never attempt to bend God’s Word to
fit around our human emotions. Rather, we must
ask Him for the courage to read Scripture as
it is, and then allow that truth to shape our
emotions.
My friend, understand that God does not
send anyone to hell. However, He does
allow people to determine where they
will spend eternity. If someone spends his
whole life telling God to go away, he will
find in eternity that God has granted that
request. The only way to avoid this eternal
anguish is to accept the loving sacrifice
Christ has already made on your behalf.
DO YOU ?
Do you ever feel
discouraged and dissatisfied? Do you ever have
feelings of unrest and fear of the future?
Does the thought of death and the hereafter
haunt you?
YOU ARE
Are you
looking for an unconditional love? Someone who
accepts you where you are and loves you no
matter what? Look no further than a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ.
Cast all your anxiety on him because he
cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7 NIV
Never let the enemy tell
you that you re worthless or insignificant.
You have value in the eyes of God so great
that it was worth dying for. You are a
blessing to the world.
Did you know God's
forgiveness and unconditional love is
available for anyone who asks?

decision to accept Christ as Lord
