Write your articHas anyone ever told you to "go to hell"? Have you ever told anyone to "go to hell"? Have you heard any "jokes" about hell? Have you told any "jokes" about hell? My friend, allow me to tell you and warn you, by the authority of the Word of God, The Holy Bible, that hell is no joke and is not to be trifled with and taken lightly.

Hell is a real place, just as earth is a real place, and heaven is a real place. Hell is a place of continual fire, kindled by the anger of God: "For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains." Deuteronomy 32:22.

Hell is a place prepared by God for the devil and all the rebellious angels who followed him, and the eternal abode of all who willfully reject the love of God: "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." Matthew 25:41

No one will automatically go to heaven; but everyone WILL automatically go to hell unless they are SAVED. There is no middle ground where we receive a second chance. Someone has rightly said: "Going to hell requires no decision, and no reservation is necessary."

Unless we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ: that he is God manifested in the flesh, Immanuel, God with us, and that he came to offer himself a sacrifice to pay the penalty for our sins; and unless we confess that we are all sinners and need a saviour and recognize Jesus Christ as our redeemer and rescuer, and call upon him to have mercy upon us and save us,our destiny will be to spend eternity in that horrible, eternal place called hell.

Being in hell forever is the natural state of mankind without God, just as cold is the natural state without heat, and darkness the natural state without light.

To be condemned by God and separated from him forever means hell, indeed! The bible says: "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten son of God, and this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light,because their deed were evil." John 3:18,19

My friend, if you would rather "hide out" as it were, in the darkness of sin and rebellion rather than to enter into God's light of love; if you are a lover of this world rather than a lover of God,then on the authority of God's word, hell
