The Reality of Hell - Part 2 Lake Merced Church of Christ
-
- Christianity
On Sunday, John Mulligan gave us Part 2 of his lesson on The Reality of Hell - Avoiding the Unthinkable. One reality that we need to know is that Hell was not meant for people; it’s meant for the Devil and his angels.
However, there are specific groups of people who will end up in that desperate situation. These are (1) those who reject God, (2) those who reject the Gospel, and (3) those who abandon their faith.
These situations tell us that no one will be in Hell by accident. People who reject God and the Gospel, or people who once DID accept God, but gave up their faith, will be the ones joining the Devil in Hell. Choices have consequences. Our choices, here on earth as we live out our lives, will determine if we find ourselves in Heaven or Hell.
Rest assured, though, that some groups will definitely NOT be there. Anyone who is unaccountable (children, for example) or anyone who is mentally incapable of understanding that their actions could have such dire consequences will not go to Hell.
For the rest of us, for those who trusted and obeyed Jesus, and those who remained faithful, we understand that Hell is completely avoidable. Our only source of salvation is Jesus. Believe in God’s fairness, His nature and His willingness to do what is right. Trust and obey - there is no other way!
