One misconception is that God sends people to hell.
On the contrary, people choose to go there by rejecting the free gift of
salvation made available through Jesus Christ. Since it is a choice and there
is no second chance, it is extremely important to determine your destiny now.
We are not guaranteed tomorrow, or even the next hour. It would be tragic to
put off securing your future until it is too late. It is simple to decide your
eternal destiny. You might say Doug, why does hell exist? The answer to that is simple. Hell
exists because evil and sin exist. In Genesis 6:5-6 we can understand what
the primary focus of humanity was and how it totally went against God’s perfect
design for man. Because God is holy and just Psalm 15:1-2 tells us the
kind of person who can dwell with God. What are some of that individual’s
characteristics? Contrast the description of humanity in Genesis 6:5-6 with the
requirements to dwell with God in Psalm 15:1-2 and it will make sense
to you. To further understand how God will judge the world read 2
Thessalonians 1:6-10. Despite our best intentions, we all fall prey to
our sinful nature, putting us squarely in the position of being imperfect.
Heaven is a perfect place, because God is perfect. To bridge the gap between
imperfect humanity and perfect God, there is Jesus. God also promised that all
people would be judged in fairness and righteousness, therefore there will be a
place for the just and the unjust, which is heaven and hell. How can you and I
show our appreciation to God for the knowledge that no matter what happens in
this life, He will balance the scales in eternity? Have a great day!!!
