And all who believe in God's Son have eternal life.Those who don't obey the Son will never experience eternal life,but the wrath of God remains upon them. -John 3:36.
Where is hell?
A believer was preaching in the street,when someone from the crowd listening interrupted him,"Where is hell?" The preacher would not be distracted.He continued telling his listeners what the Bible says about coming judgment.But he also showed them how salvation can be found in Jesus Christ,the Saviour of the world.
"Where is hell?" shouted the voice from the crowd once again."I asked you a question.It's obvious you cannot answer."-"Yes I can," retorted the preacher,"Hell lies at the end of a life lived without God and Jesus Christ."
We often hear the word hell expressed in everyday life.People use it to describe anything that is really unpleasant.It is in everyone's mouth.The Bible,however,never uses the term to describe any condition on earth.It is rather the expression for the final destination of those who refuse to believe in the Son of God and will not serve Him.
Christ Himself repeatedly spoke about hell.He said,"Dear friends,don't be afraid of those who want to kill you.They can only kill the body;they cannot do any more to you.But I'll tell you whom to fear.Fear God,who has the power to kill people and then throw them into hell. -Luke 12:4-5.He was referring to God.What a serious and urgent warning!
It is a warning arising from love,for the Son of God,who spoke these words,gave His life for us,so that we never reach this terrible destination.So everyone should receive Him into his life by faith for He says,"However,those the Father has given me will come to me,I will never reject them."
-John 6:37.
