    In Hell, There Is No Help and No Hope

    When the rich man in hell begged Abraham to send help, the answer was final — there is a great gulf fixed, and no one crosses it. If you have ever wondered whether there is any second chance after death, or whether anyone in hell can reach heaven, Luke 16:25–31 (KJV) answers clearly and soberly: no help, no hope, no way out. ▶ WATCH NEXT In Hell, You Will Still Be Able to Remember https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrODLYGQ-QA In this Words From The Word devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster walks through the closing verses of Jesus's account of the rich man and Lazarus. The rich man cannot escape his torment. He cannot receive help. So he turns to the only thing left — pleading for someone to warn his five brothers before it is too late. And the response from Abraham is one of the most searching statements in all of Scripture: "If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead." Jesus rose from the dead. Is the world listening? That question, Pastor Webster shows, is exactly what drove Paul to persuade men in 2 Corinthians 5. The terror of what awaits those without Christ is not meant to paralyze believers — it is meant to move them. Key points from this devotion: - In hell there is no help and no chance of escape — the gulf is fixed - The rich man's only concern became warning others, but it was too late for him to act - Abraham's response shows that God's Word — not miracles — is the appointed means of rescue - The terror of the Lord is a legitimate, biblical motivation for gospel witness - The call to repentance is urgent: "except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish" (Luke 13:3) If this devotion moved you, please like, leave a comment, and share it with someone who needs to hear it.

    In Hell, You Will Still Be Able to Remember

    Most people picture hell as a place where everything stops — but Luke 16 tells a very different story. In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster shows that in hell, the rich man could still petition, still hear, and most sobering of all, still remember. Memory in hell may be its sharpest torment of all. ▶ WATCH NEXT In Hell, You Will Still Be Able to Talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_lKoX0xsjw From Luke 16:19–31 (KJV), Pastor Webster walks through the moment Abraham says to the rich man, "Son, remember" — remember your life on earth, remember Lazarus at your gate, remember the opportunities you had. The rich man also remembered his father's house and his five brothers still heading toward the same end. He could hear Abraham's responses. He could form requests. Nothing had gone silent or numb. Are you hearing the Word of God today and setting it aside? Do you have people in your life who are drifting without Christ? This passage is a clear and urgent lifeline — thrown to you while there is still time. Key points from this devotion: - In hell, one could petition — the rich man begged for a single drop of water - In hell, one could hear — Abraham's words reached him clearly - In hell, one could remember — earthly life, family, missed opportunities - Salvation is found only in the Lord Jesus Christ, and the time to receive it is now If this devotion stirred something in you, like, comment, and share it with someone who needs to hear it.

    Is Hell Real? What Jesus Said That Should Wake Us Up

    Is hell real, and what did Jesus actually say about it? In this Words From The Word devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster brings a sobering but loving message straight from the King James Bible that every believer and seeker needs to hear. Drawing from Matthew 5:22, 29-30, Matthew 8:12, Matthew 13:42, and Matthew 23:33, Pastor Webster walks through the very words of Jesus Christ Himself to show that hell is not a myth, a metaphor, or a joke. It is a real place with real consequences for those who die without Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. You might be asking: - Did Jesus really talk more about hell than about heaven? - What does the Bible say will happen to the body in hell? - Can anyone escape the damnation of hell? - How should knowing about hell change the way I live and talk to others? Key points from this devotion: - Hell is described in scripture as a place of fire, outer darkness, and endless torment - Jesus warned that the whole body will be cast into hellfire - There is no escape from hell for those who die without Christ - The Apostle Paul was motivated by the terror of the Lord to persuade men - The good news is that everlasting life is available to anyone who trusts in Jesus Christ If this message moved your heart, please like, comment, share, and subscribe so others can hear Words From The Word. #WordsFromTheWord #KJV #BibleDevotion #ChristianLiving #GoodNewsBaptistChurch Stay connected with GNBC: 🌐 Website: www.gnbcnetwork.org CHAPTERS: 0:00 Opening and Welcome 0:28 Fanny Crosby and Rescuing the Perishing 1:26 God Has Prepared Two Places 1:52 Hell Is a Real Place 2:41 Jesus Warns of Hellfire in Matthew 5 3:03 The Whole Body Cast Into Hellfire 4:23 No Escape from Damnation 4:51 Weeping and Gnashing of Teeth 6:02 Imagine What They Will Think 6:54 God's Word Is True and Cannot Lie 7:18 Closing Appeal and Invitation

    What Drives a Christian to Share the Gospel?

    What really drives a Christian to share the gospel with others? In this devotion from 2 Corinthians 5 (KJV), Pastor Roderick Webster of Good News Baptist Church opens up one of the most sobering and most loving truths in all of Scripture — the terror of the Lord and the God who refuses to let people perish without a witness. This is part of the Words From The Word daily devotion series, and Pastor Webster takes us deep into what motivated the Apostle Paul to persuade men and women to trust Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. You might be asking — Does God really want people to go to hell? Is hell actually real and eternal? Why would a loving God allow everlasting punishment? What should motivate me as a believer to share my faith? In this episode, Pastor Webster covers: - The judgment seat of Christ and what every believer will face - Matthew 25:41 and the sobering reality of everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels - God's heart — He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ezekiel 33:11) - How God's love, compassion, and long-suffering are the greatest reasons to share the gospel - Why the terror of the Lord is not a fear-based message but a love-driven one If this devotion blessed you, please like, leave a comment, share this video with someone who needs it, and subscribe so you never miss a morning word. #WordsFromTheWord #KJV #BibleDevotion #ChristianLiving #GoodNewsBaptistChurch Stay connected with GNBC: 🌐 Website: www.gnbcnetwork.org CHAPTERS: 0:00 Opening 0:35 Fanny Crosby and Rescue the Perishing 1:12 Scripture Reading: 2 Corinthians 5 4:43 The Terror of the Lord Explained 5:46 Matthew 25:41 — Depart From Me 8:37 God's Love and His Will for Salvation 11:24 Closing Call to Trust Christ

    Will Your Name Be Found in the Book of Life?

    Will your name be found in the Book of Life when it matters most? In this powerful daily devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens the scriptures to show us that not everyone will face the same judgment — and the difference is eternal. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 3:15, Revelation 20:11-15, and Matthew 25:41 (KJV), Pastor Webster walks us through two distinct judgments: the Judgment Seat of Christ, where believers will give account for their works, and the Great White Throne Judgment, where those whose names are not in the Book of Life will face a consequence no one should have to face. You might be asking: - Does it matter how I live if I am already saved? - What happens to people who are not believers at the final judgment? - Is hell really real, and was it made for me? - How can I know for certain that I am born again? Key points from this devotion: - Some believers will suffer loss of rewards, not salvation, at the Judgment Seat of Christ - The Great White Throne Judgment is for those not written in the Book of Life - Hell was prepared for the devil and his angels, not for you - Jesus has prepared a place for those who are prepared to receive Him - Today is the day to say yes to Christ before it is eternally too late If this devotion stirred your heart, please like, leave a comment, and share it with someone who needs to hear it.

    What Crowns Will You Receive at the Judgment Seat?

    What crowns will you receive at the judgment seat of Christ? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster of Good News Baptist Church in Sint Maarten walks us through four distinct crowns described in the King James Bible that will be given to faithful believers at the judgment seat of Christ. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 9, Proverbs 11:30, 1 Thessalonians 2:19, James 1:2-3, Revelation 2:10, 2 Timothy 4:8, and 1 Peter 5:2-4, Pastor Webster unpacks what God's Word says about the rewards awaiting those who live faithfully for Christ. You might be asking: - Is heaven really about more than just getting in? - What does it mean to endure temptation faithfully? - Do I have to be a preacher to receive a heavenly reward? - Why does loving the return of Christ matter to God? Key points from this devotion: - The crown of rejoicing is given to soul winners who tell others about Christ - The crown of life is for those who endure temptation without giving in - The crown of righteousness is for those who love and long for Christ's appearing - The crown of glory is reserved for faithful preachers and teachers of the Word If this devotion encouraged you, please like, leave a comment, share it with someone, and subscribe so you never miss a word. #WordsFromTheWord #KJV #BibleDevotion #ChristianLiving #GoodNewsBaptistChurch Stay connected with GNBC: 🌐 Website: www.gnbcnetwork.org CHAPTERS: 0:00 Opening & Hymn of Introduction 0:47 The Judgment Seat of Christ Recap 1:20 Crown of Rejoicing for Soul Winners 2:36 Crown of Life for Enduring Temptation 3:57 Crown of Righteousness Explained 5:11 Crown of Glory for Faithful Preachers 6:55 Closing Thoughts & Prayer

    Who Will Appear Before the Judgment Seat of Christ?

    Who will appear before the judgment seat of Christ, and what will happen when you get there?

Drawing also from 2 Corinthians 5:21, Galatians 3:13, 1 Peter 2:24, Hebrews 10:12, and 1 Corinthians 9:25-27, this devotion brings clarity, comfort, and a gentle challenge to every child of God. You might be asking yourself: - Does this mean I will be judged for my sins at that seat? - What kinds of rewards will believers receive? - How do I master the old nature before that day comes? - What does it really mean that Christ bore my sins in His body?
