WARNING THIS SERMON CONTAINS TRUTHS THAT MAY BE DISTURBING : 

WARNING THIS SERMON CONTAINS TRUTHS THAT MAY BE DISTURBING We believe: The Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are verbally inspired of God and are the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct. 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21

FEAR GOD: 

FEAR GOD Eccl 12:13-14 (KJV) Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God , and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.  For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

ONE GOOD REASON TO FEAR THE LORD: 

ONE GOOD REASON TO FEAR THE LORD YOU COULD ALL GO TO HELL! IF NOT FOR THE BLOOD OF CHRIST For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Romans 3:23)

HE DIED THAT YOU MAY LIVE : 

HE DIED THAT YOU MAY LIVE JOHN 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should 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.  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.

Hell?: 

Hell? God is Love… So how could He send anyone to a place of everlasting torment? GOD IS ALSO JUST…

There Is No Fear Of God: 

There Is No Fear Of God Matt. 25:46 ``And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.'' .Christ clearly taught there is either eternal life or eternal punishment awaiting everyone. .Most people have put the thought of eternal punishment and hell out of their mind. .As Paul wrote, Rom. 3:18 ``There is no fear of God before their eyes.''

How To Explain A Place A Man Has Never Seen?: 

How To Explain A Place A Man Has Never Seen? Although the world and many preachers may be silent on the subject, the Bible is not. The Bible speaks often of hell: 23 times in the NT –Three different words… 10 — hades (place of the unseen) different place; often confused with “Hell” 12 — geenna (hell-fire) 1 — tartaros (torments) word used in reference to “pits of darkness” in Hades.

Did Jesus Refer to “Hell”?: 

Did Jesus Refer to “Hell”? http://www.christiananswers.net/q-grace/hell.html Christ is often spoken of as "Gentle Jesus, meek and mild," but that label hardly fits with the language we find in Mark chapter nine as He affirms the fact and reality of Hell. We read these strong statements:

Did Jesus Refer to“Hell”?: 

Did Jesus Refer to“Hell”? Mark 9:43-48 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. ……. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Is Hell A Reality?: 

Is Hell A Reality? Many in today's world deny that hell is a real place. Even among those who claim to be religious, many deny that hell exists. Some contend when a righteous person dies he goes to heaven , but when a wicked person dies he is annihilated , Yet:

John 5:28-29 ``Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.'': 

John 5:28-29 `` Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.''

Luke 12:4-5 ``And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.''

HELL IS REAL!: 

HELL IS REAL ! IF YOU DENY HELL — YOU DENY THE VERY WORDS OF OUR LORD!! God's word lends NO support to the disbelievers who are in HELL. IS HELL A REALITY ? The answer is obvious, which leads us to the next question….

WHAT IS HELL LIKE?: 

WHAT IS HELL LIKE ? The Biblical writers not only picture the beauty of heaven, they also picture the horror of hell. How do you describe a place to a man where he has never been? You use concepts that he “knows” to help him picture…

Hell is described as a place of SEPARATION: 

Hell is described as a place of SEPARATION Hell will be horrible as God is not there; that is horrific-- but that is not the only separation… You will be separated for eternity from all who were followers of Christ – all those you loved on this earth who followed Christ

And No “unbelievers”!: 

And No “unbelievers”! — these unbelievers were unbelievers in life. Not in death! ``There will be no atheists in hell!''

Not just a “few of the worst” people to ever live…: 

Not just a “few of the worst” people to ever live… Many people today who “do” believe in Hell, feel that only a few of the most terrible people will be in hell. However, the Bible teaches that the majority of people will be lost:

Not just a “few of the worst” people to ever live…: 

Not just a “few of the worst” people to ever live… Matt. 7:13-14 ``Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be....''

Some Ask another question? Surely, an all loving God could not send anyone to hell… RIGHT!?: 

Some Ask another question? Surely, an all loving God could not send anyone to hell… RIGHT!?

Slide 40: 

Rom. 11:22 ``Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.''

Slide 41: 

Heb. 10:31 ``It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.'‘ Rev. 20:13-15 ``And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; 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. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.''

Some Facts: 

Some Facts Matt. 25:46 ``And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.'‘ Sadly, the majority of people are going to be lost and NOT saved!

Some Facts: 

Some Facts Our Lord plainly taught that the righteous would be rewarded and the wicked would be punished. He taught that either heaven or hell would be our eternal home. WE must choose where we will be in eternity. It has been said, ``God votes for you, the devil votes against you, and you hold the deciding vote.'' Obey the Gospel and remain faithful — heaven is yours. Do neither and hell is yours!

IF YOU DIED TODAY DO YOU KNOW FOR SURE WHERE YOU WOULD GO?: 

IF YOU DIED TODAY DO YOU KNOW FOR SURE WHERE YOU WOULD GO? For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Eph 2:8-9 (KJV) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13 (KJV) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23 (KJV

Slide 45: 

John 3:16-18 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 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. THE GOSPEL THE “GOOD NEWS”
