THE REALITY OF HELL

MEMORY V. 

"THE WICKED SHALL BE TURNED INTO HELL ,AND ALL THE NATION THAT FORGET GOD. "

IS THERE AN EVERLASTING HELL?

The Bible declares that in every certain terms there is. There are about 162 texts in the New Testament alone that speak about the eternal doom that awaits all unrepentant sinners. The lord himself uttered 70 of these. Hell is a reality, an awful fact to be realised. It seems that the angels that sinned with Satan are even now in hell waiting for judgement;(2peter 2:4). The Bible makes it aundantly clear that the wicked and anyone that finally reject Christ will be turned to hell(psalm9:17).

HOW REAL IS HELL? 

Hell is a place of everlasting torment, of unquenchable fire, of suffering and agony at its worst( luke16:23). Hell is also banishment from the presence of God (2thess. 1:9). It is a sort of prison where the wicked will be punished forever. 

Hell was originally prepared for the devil and his wicked angels (matthew 25:41). Hell was never intended for man but if men insist in rejecting heaven through the Saviour ,Jesus Christ, then they must accompany Satan forever (psalm 9:17). The original size of hell is not known but because of man's insistence on going there, hell has enlarged it self(isaiah 5:14).

The worst part of it is that just as those who go to heaven will recognise themselves, those who go to hell will also recognise themselves (luke 16:23).

They will even be able to pray but their prayers will not and never be answered(16:27). The torment there is everlasting. 

Other questions about HELL

1. who will go to hell?  All persons, of all ranks, ages, and conditions whose names are not found written in the book of life (Revelations 20:15)

2. Where is hell?  The Bible says it is "down" (Isaiah 14:9)

3. Does "hell" not means "grave" where both the good and bad must go?  No.  In luke 16, both the rich man and Lazarus died and went to the grave, as both were buried,  however, their souls went to different places . One was in a place where he was comforted, the other in a place of torment and the Two were separated by a great gulf to prevent travel back and forth. 

4. Will the doomed repent in hell, seek the Lord, and be forgiven?  No. Salvation is limited to this life. There is no repentance in the grave. All prayers of the doomed are denied (Luke 16:24-27).

5. Is there a place of probation, purgatory, after death?  Certainly not. Once a person does, he either goes to paradise or the place of torment (Hebrews 9:27).
