You can avoid hell, you must avoid hell. The bucks stops with you.
Hebrews 11:14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. 11:15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 14:2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 25:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
God has prepared a city for you in particular in heaven.
Jesus Christ our Master and Lord
has prepared mansion for you in particular in heaven.
Hell fire was prepared specifically for satan and his fallen angels when they rebelled against God.
Rebellious people like satan inside and outside of the church will end up in hell with the devil.
Hell is real. It is a place of eternal torment. You can avoid it. You must avoid it.
Avoiding hell has nothing to do with God or Jesus.
Both have done everything to help you avoid it.
It is you that will take advantage of the sure provision of God to avoid hell.
The bucks stops with you and you alone.
Our Master and Lord Jesus Christ , after paying the gruesome, painful shameful excruciating sacrifice, took time to tell all humanity and you in particular, what to do to avoid he’ll.
Matthew 18:8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. 18:9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
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.
Our Master and Lord said, your hand, foot and eye are the things that can make you end up in hell.
What are those things?
Your hands makes you productive.
It then means, if there is anyone or anything that makes you productive but will send you to hell. Do everything to remove it from your life.
Your foot help you to move forward and make progress. If there is anything or anyone helping you to make progress in life but will make you end up in hell. Remove that thing or the person from your life.
Your eyes makes you to see. If there is anything making you wise or anyone giving you advise and wisdom for success but will make you end up in hell, remove the things and be separated from them.
Our Master and Lord gave us greater understanding and knowledge of all these in the Bible.
Mark 10:29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s, 10:30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
These things can be your job, your business, your wife or husband or children of siblings or parents or friends.
No matter how important they might be, Jesus said you should separate from them to get to heaven.
If you love any of these things more than Christ, you have lost Him forever.
Matthew 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 14:27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
In addition you must be walking on the narrow road that leads to heaven.
You enter the road, when you give your life to Christ and He saved you from both outward and inward sins.
Meaning you are biblically saved and sanctified and you become a new creature and waking in holiness lifestyle till Christ comes.
Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Remember, Mr Davis, the rich man. He has been in hell before Jesus came. He had come and gone for more than two thousand years. No one has given him water.
In deed hell is real and is a place of torment. You can avoid it and you must avoid it.
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.
Lastly make sure your name is written and retained in the book of life to avoid hell.
Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Sin will remove your name from the back of life.
Exodus 32:33 And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
Righteousness and victory over sin will keep your name in the book of life.
Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Avoiding hell is a lifetime business, commit yourself to doing it, till Christ comes.
His grace will be sufficient for you.
2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
Let us pray.
