"A picture is worth a thousand words"
And yet the one above still manages to fall short of the gravity of the eternal agony of damnation.
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”This verse speaks of love and hope for humanity, but it also reveals the reason for the dire need of love and hope for humanity.
The verse implies that whoever does not believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, will perish and have eternal death.
The implication is true.
The reality horrifying.This horrifying reality, this “living” eternal death is infamously known as Hell.
Take a closer look at our topic, but by all means avoid it being your destiny.
WHO DESERVES SUCH A SEVERE JUDGMENT?
You. I. Everyone.
If you don't agree with this being a justified condemnation, you are not aware of the height of the purity of God, nor the depth of your own depravity.
We are in the realm of human.
God is in the realm of God.
What would make us think that we are even capable of earning a spot in His Presence?
"Morality may keep you out of jail, but it takes the blood of Jesus to keep you out of hell."
- Charles Spurgeon
- Matthew 16:24-26
“Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?’”
