The Truth about Heaven and Hell

“The world is all the hell that a true Christian is to ever endure, and it is all the Heaven that unbelievers shall ever enjoy.”
-          Jonathan Edwards

Hell Is Real

  There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:  And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.  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; 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. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
Luke 16:19-28

Heaven Is Real

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.  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. 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.
John 14:1-3

We read many accounts of q description of Hell in the New Testament, as being a place of torment, where the fire is never quenched and the worm does not die.  We get a glimpse of what Heaven is like in the book of Revelation: and the truth is – they are both real places.   The question is where will you or those you know be spending their eternity?

Some say they don’t believe in hell, yet it will not diminish its reality one bit.  For those who don’t believe in Heaven:  they will never get to experience its radiance and beauty, because you cannot go this  place if you don’t believe in it and the in the one who said it is real.

As Christians it is our duty and responsibility to get the word out.

The Scriptures teach that there is a Heaven to gain and a Hell to shun !
We Preachers need to pass the Word,
For there are far too Many which have never heard.
The world mocks and says; ‘all my friends shall be there’,
The Lord says that there shall be ‘no parties for them to share’.
The rich man asked Abraham to send Lazarus,
The Lord sent Jesus the best He had for us.
Today we think that "the rich man and the wealthy" are truly blest,
The Bible teaches that for all eternity without Jesus they will have no rest...
The beggar Lazarus did not enter Heaven because he ate crumbs and dogs
licked his soars nor because in this life he did suffer,
He entered paradise because he believed by faith what Moses and the Prophets
had offered !
Miracles cannot save nor people rising from the dead will change the hearts of
men,
It is the preaching of God's Word for faith in them to be heard the Spirit to
convince them.
The heat truly is extreme, dark as sackcloth shall be the sight, Mankind shall
scream:
No rest for them, their names forgotten, teeth shall they gnash, no room for them
to even dream...
Will you use your "wealth and lend us your health",
To get the message out for now is the time to "SHOUT" !
God save us all and give us all angels wings:
Help us to bring plenty of persons with us to those gates of pearl,
For we know that Thou doth Love this World !
So Preachers preach and Teachers teach:
For there are many that if they were to die shall receive eternal pain...
For they were never told the message to God RUN !
Because there is a Heaven to gain and a Hell to SHUN !
-William Tell

Today’s Prayer

Father, may I always be faithful, bold and courageous to tell the world there is a Heaven to gain and a Hell to shun and Jesus is the only way to accomplish this.
