Hell Exists Whether you like it or not!

Hell, so hot you don't want to be in that spot. Hell is the place that a lot of skeptics/mockers deny. They do this because they think it will make people feel better if they lie about it, or because they think it will cease to exist if they do not acknowledge the fact that it is there. No matter what the reason, they are wrong. Hell exists! It exists whether someone likes the idea of its existence or not. No amount of denial regardless of who you are and what your so called reasons are for denying it will change anything. So you might as well wake up to reality. Face the facts so to speak.
Hell is a real is the air you breathe. Only hell is not something pleasant. It is not something fun to discuss. It is necessary to mention though. Jesus Christ himself preached about more than he did about heaven, or the other nice stuff mentioned in the Bible. He really did! He even warned that hell is "...a place of torment..." in Luke Chapter 16, the last chapter in this gospel. The rich man mentioned in this passage knew that hell was real for it says "...and the rich man died and woke up in hell..." How could he wake up there if it is not there to start with? This proves it exists. Then,we read on about his discussion with Abraham. "...send someone to warn my brothers about this place..." He begs for his brothers to warned about it. Does not sound like someone who has no memory about his family, or someone who does not care about them. Does not even sound like someone who wants them to join them there. This rich man even in hell himself, knows that hell is bad. He wants his brothers to be warned about it! Notice that the conversation with Abraham does not end here. The rich man even requests someone in particular to warn them! He asks "...send Lazarus from the dead to warn them..." He asks for Lazarus the beggar to be sent to his brothers to warn them about hell. Abraham points out "...they have Moses and the prophets." What was he talking about here! Moses and a lot of the prophets had died. He was telling the rich man that his brothers had the Old Testament and that it warns them about hell. He was telling him there were prophets of God around warning people about hell even. The rich man's response sounds so typical of people who refuse to accept Christ before it is too late, and this is a man in hell who says it. "And he replied, they will not listen to Moses and the prophets..." The rich man says his brothers will not heed the warnings of Moses and the prophets. Listen to Abraham's final response though sad as it is. "...if they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe though a man rose from the dead." Not only was this true for the brothers the man begged to be warned about hell,but is also true for people now.
Many people now say they will not believe the Bible without any current signs, or miracles, like a person rising from the dead. Yet the Bible is full of Jesus signs, and miracles done on the earth during his earthly ministry. Plus, Jesus himself rose from the dead! And they still refuse to believe the truth in Scripture! What a sad ending in store for them! And for others like them who refuse to receive Jesus Christ and heed the warnings about hell both in the passage I just discussed with you further and in many other places throughout the entire Bible.
Make sure you are ready for Heaven! Hell is reality! There is no escape for those there now and will be none for those who go there later. Make sure Jesus is in your heart! Make sure of it no matter your gender, age, nationality, or location! Make sure ! Don't just hope so! Know so! Don't just think so,or guess so! Be certain! Don't risk going to hell because you are unsure of your own spiritual status, or because you don't want to take a chance that God will actually save you like he says he will!
Make sure you a ready for Heaven! Make sure you never have to wake up in hell like the rich man in Luke Chapter 16 did! Make sure! Don't walk away from this screen lost for all eternity! Make sure you are saved forever and ever! Admit you are a sinner today! Believe Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried and rose again! Confess your sin to Jesus now! Pray and ask him to come into your heart now! Does this if you have not already or it you are not sure you have! Make sure you are eternally secure! Make sure! Make sure! Make sure! Make sure!.....Make sure! Make sure neighbor! Make sure friend! Make sure acquaintance! Make sure relative! Make sure enemy! Make sure both males and females who read this! Make sure teenager! Make sure child! Make sure grownup! Make sure grandparents out there! Make sure married people! Make sure engaged couples ! Make sure single people! Make sure elderly people! Make sure young person! Make sure rich person! Make sure middle class person! Make sure poor people! Make sure tall, or short person! Make sure healthy or sick person! Make sure! Make sure! Make sure ! Make sure!
