"Ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?"
the words of Jesus Christ in Matthew 23:33
Is hell real? Is hell a place of fire and brimstone? Do some people
actually go to hell? Many in this generation seem to have rejected the idea
of hell, but if hell is real, denial of its existence will only soothe the
conscience for a brief time here on earth. For centuries most religious
and even non-religious people have believed in hell, but few pastors today
say much about it, possibly for fear of offending people. Regardless of
what modern people believe about hell, Jesus Christ not only believed that
hell was real, He taught that most people, even very religious people, go
to hell. Christ spoke more about hell than anyone else in the Bible, describing
hell as a place of everlasting fire, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. Hear
the words of Jesus Christ: "So it shall be at the end of the world:
the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, and
shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing
of teeth" (Matthew 13:49-50). Please consider with all seriousness
the reality of hell and the necessity of seeking God in the following selections
of writings and sermons.
