1. Why is it that ppl “Do” believe Jesus when he speaks about “Heaven” – but “Do Not” believe Jesus when he speaks about “Hell?” Answer: Because it makes us “Uncomfortable” to think of the possibility of going to this place called “Hell!” We think that if we don’t talk about it, it will just go away – but it won’t go away!
2. As Believers, we must learn the truth about Hell – same as we learned about Heaven and what Jesus has told us about it!
3. However, “Satan,” doesn’t want us to “Listen to” or “Believe what Jesus says”….so he is using his greatest asset (Deception), to tricked “The Majority” of the world into believing that neither, “he,” nor “Hell” exists (that they may end up in hell with himself).
4. However, Satan cannot fool God’s “Elect!” – they do believe what “Jesus” says about “Hell!” (Matt.24:24).
5. However, the “Majority” who believes Satan (over Jesus) will be the ones who will end up in “Hell” with “Satan,” (Matt.7:13-14).
6. And to prove to us that “Hell” does exist, Jesus gives an example of the kind of ppl who will go to hell by telling us the story of the “(Rich man),” a “(Poor man named, “Lazarus”).” The “Rich man” who had an abundance in resources (both food and material goods); but he had “No compassion,” for his fellowman (he was a “Heartless,” “Selfish” man)! He would “Not” give this hungry, poor man (“Lazarus” – full of sores), just a little bit of food as he lay destitute, begging at his door.
7. At the end of life for both men, Jesus says “Lazarus” (Poor man) was carried away by “Angels” into the bosom of “Abraham” (Paradise) – while the “(Rich man)” found himself in “(Hades)” in “(Torments),” after his death (Lk.16:19-26). From this story, we know that “Uncompassionate,” “Selfish ppl” will not be welcomed in “Heaven,” but will go to “(Hell) after their deaths!”
8. Jesus also tells us that it will be very hard for a “(Rich person)” to go to “Heaven.” He said it would be “(Easier)” for a camel to go through the “(Eye of a needle),” than for a “Rich person” to enter the “Kingdom of God!” (Matt.19:24). Also pointing out that where a person’s “Treasure is,”…that is where his “Heart” will be, also (Matt.6:21).
9. Jesus gives a list of those who will go to “(Hell):” cowards, unbelievers, abominable, murders, idolaters, and “All Liars!” fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, homosexuals, sodomites, thieves, covetous, drunkards, revilers, nor extortioners, will “Not”inherit the “Kingdom of God,” (1 Cor.6:9-10; Rev.21:8).
10. Closing Scripture: The word of God tells us that “All” of the above mentioned, will be cast into the “(Lake of Fire)” with (Satan) after the “Second Resurrection” (Rev.20:10). Jesus is speaking, literally, and not symbolically about “(Hell)!”
