Luke 16:23-26, “And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 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. 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. 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.”
Dear reader, the moment that you breath your last breath, and your heart beats its last beat, your eternal destiny is forever set. If you unfortunately die in your sins, it will be TOO LATE. There is no escape from Hell once you get there. I saw this heretical image today on Facebook, which prompted me to write this blog to refute the heresy...
The preceding image is a LIE! There is no way out of Hell. I am confident that the person who made this image and text meant that Jesus Christ is the way to avoid going to Hell, but taken at face value, I can only go by what the image actually says.
Once a lost sinner gets to Hell, it is TOO LATE to repent of your unbelief. What saith the Scripture? John 5:40, “And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.” Jesus didn't say “ye cannot come.” He said, “ye will not come...” The new spiritual birth is a choice! Will you either choose to trust in the 'GOOD NEWS' of the blessed crucified, buried and risen Savior, or not?
You can either DIE IN YOUR SINS...
John 8:24, “I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.”
John 8:24, “I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.”
Or, you can DIE IN THE LORD...
Revelation 14:13, “And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.”
Revelation 14:13, “And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.”
Which category are you in friend?
My Mother died in the Lord in 2001. My father died in the Lord in 2010. God know when I will die in the Lord, and go to Heaven to be with my precious Savior, Jesus.
There are an estimated 8,029,184,007 people alive on the planet in 2023. The typical human lifespan is now 70 years of age. Let's divide 8,029,184,007 by 70, and then divide that result by 365 days in a year. That means on average that 314,253.78 people die every single day in the world. That is reality. Nearly one million people die every 3 days!!! No one is alarmed or makes a fuss. I've never heard this shocking statistic mentioned in the daily news. But we all hear about the one or two people who were killed. We are still hearing about those 4 unfortunate murdered college students in Idaho. What about the 9,427,613.4 people who died each month? Wow! We cannot escape death. No one lives forever in the flesh.
I did an intriguing study years ago about freezing people in cryonic storage. Depending on how much money you pay upfront, they either cut your head off and from it, or your entire body, in liquid nitrogen. They freeze your body upside down, hundreds of degrees below zero. They do all this in hope of having eternal life in the future, when science advances to the point where the information from your brain can be transferred into a cloned new body. I can guarantee you that no such science fiction will never happen by man's ability, skill or knowledge.
Only Jesus can restore the body and give eternal life (Philippians 3:21). Dear reader, Jesus promises YOU eternal life, and a new glorified body (1st Corinthians 15:51-58). All you need to do is receive Christ sacrifice on the cross as payment for your sins, believing that after Jesus was buried, He bodily resurrected the third day. How could a dead Christ save anybody? That is why we must believe that Jesus raised up from the dead, and trust in that risen Christ. John 6:47, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.”
The preceding image is right to imply that Jesus Christ is the only way to avoid going to Hell, but it is wrong to say that Jesus is the only way out of Hell. THERE IS NO WAY OUT OF HELL!!! There is no mythical Roman Catholic place of Purgatory. No one can pay your way out of Hell with indulgences. If you go to Hell someday, it will be because you knowingly rejected Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. Please don't delay in becoming born-again if you have never done so friend.
