Hell is real, avoid it.
Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
It is important for you in particular to be thoughtful of your latter end.
Deu 32:29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
Pro 19:20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
Are you really wise and thoughtful about your later end, that can begin this morning.
Why must you be thoughtful about eternity with God? It is because, all the wicked people inside and outside of the church shall be turned to hell and sufffer forever.
Hell is a place of eternal suffering. No wonder, the Bible exhorted you to avoid it.
Make conscious and deliberate efforts to separate yourself from anyone and everyone and everything that can send you to hell.
Listen to our Master and Lord and heed His wisest counsel.
Mark 9:43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 9:44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 9:45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 9:46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 9:47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: 9:48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
Listen to Him again.
Luke 12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
Listen to the true story He told His church, those He bought with His precious blood, to help them do everything to avoid hell.
Luke 16:19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 16:20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 16:21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 16:24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 16:25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 16:26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 16:27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: 16:28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 16:29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 16:30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
The Bible says all things are written for your learning.
Rom 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
In addition it says things written are for your examples and admonition.
1 Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
Choose to be wise now and deliberately avoid everything the Bible says can send you to hell.
The good Lord that paid the gruesome price to safe you out of it, will help you in particular in Jesus name.
Let us pray.
