Before reading the rest of this blog take a few minutes and first read Revelation 20:11-15. If you die in Christ Jesus your spirit immediately goes to be with the Lord in heaven. Jesus purchased that gift of God by His death on the cross and our faith in Him. You will eventually stand before the bema judgement seat of Jesus to receive your reward for works done in the body. Heaven has already been secured for you. However, if you die without accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior you will have missed the boat. Your spirit will go directly to hell within the earth and suffer torment continuously until resurrected bodily for the Great White Throne judgement at the end of the 1,000 year millennial kingdom of Jesus on the earth.
At that time every sin of your life will be reviewed by Jesus and judged. Your sentence will be handed down and carried out by an angel of God. Everyone who finds themselves here gets the same sentence. The angel will lay hands on you and physically throw you into the eternal lake of fire God originally created for the fallen angels where you will be always in pain and agony for eternity along with Satan, the fallen angels (demons), the antichrist and the false prophet. Our finite minds cannot grasp how long eternity really is. One hundred billion years is only a day in eternity.
The point is we must avoid hell at all costs. Whatever it takes we must do it and the sooner the better! The way out of that fate is found in the Bible because God loves you and doesn’t want to send you to hell. God has provided a way for you to escape hell through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ, as Lord and Savior of your life. But God is also a just God and He will send you to hell if you turn down the mercy and grace offered to you by your loving Father. You have free will here. It is imperative you make the right decision!
