Hell: A Terrifying Reality

The Bible teaches that there is an eternal destiny for everyone on Earth. When Christians (followers of Jesus Christ) die they are made perfect in holiness, and will be received into paradise, which is more glorious than any experience on earth. Heaven will be a glorious place filled with unending joy. However, there is another place which is awaiting all those who have rejected Christ and suppressed the truth in unrighteousness. Below are 8 passages which describe the destiny of all those who reject Christ:

Bible Passages:

1. Matthew 25:41 Then He will also say to those on the left, "Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his angels!
2. Matthew 8:12 But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
3. 2 Thessalonians 1:6-9 since it is righteous for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you and to reward with rest you who are afflicted, along with us. This will take place at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with His powerful angels, taking vengeance with flaming fire on those who don't know God and on those who don't obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction from the Lord's presence and from His glorious strength...
4. Revelation 20:10, 15 The Devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophets are, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. And anyone not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
5. Romans 2:8 ...but wrath and indignation to those who are self-seeking and disobey the truth but are obeying unrighteousness... 
6. Matthew 25:30 ...and throw this good-for-nothing slave into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
7. Mark 9:48 ...where the worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.
8. Isaiah 66:24 As they leave, they will see the dead bodies of the men who have rebelled against Me; for their worm will never die, their fire will never go out, and they will be a horror to all mankind.

In conclusion, Hell is a real place which should frighten us. We should weep for the millions who are on the road to Hell. We must be doing everything in our power to warn people to flee from the wrath to come. We must be investing our time and resources to taking the Gospel to the unreached/unengaged people of the world. We must be sharing the Gospel with our unsaved friends, neighbors, co-workers and family members. Charles Spurgeon once said, "If sinners be damned at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. If they will perish let them perish with our arms about their knees. Let no go there unwarned and unprayed for."
