- Every soul will be either saved or lost for eternity.
The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, And them which do iniquity; and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.
~ Matthew 13:41-43.
- In regard to getting to Heaven, Jesus said this:
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
~ John 14:6
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish. ...
~ John 3:16.
- In regard to Hell, Jesus said this:
Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn . . . He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
~ Matthew 13:29-42
The wages of sin is death.
~ Romans 6:23
The soul that sinneth, it shall die.
~ Ezekiel 18:4
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
~ 1 John 5:11, 12
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
~ Matthew 25:46
- Descriptions of Hell
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
~ 2 Peter 3:7
For it is the day of the Lord's vengeance, and the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion. And the streams thereof shall be turned into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
~ Isaiah 34:8, 9
Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire, and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
~ Psalm 11:6
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power.
~2 Thessalonians 1:8, 9
- Hell was never intended for us.
Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.
~ Matthew 25:41
- To choose Hell one must knowlingly step over the broken body of Jesus Christ in spite of the Father's love and the Holy Spirit's pleading. No one will be lost because he sinned, because everyone has sinned. No one will be left out of heaven because he lied, stole, or committed adultery or any other sin. The only reason anyone will be lost is because he refuses to turn away from his sins into the arms of a loving Savior who stands ready to pardon and cleanse from all unrighteousness.
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
~ John 3:16
