Everyone will be spending eternity somewhere. Where will you be spending yours?  Heaven or Hell?  To many hell is some place that has been conjured up out of the minds of some Christian fanatics, but, it will be a dangerous thing for one to gamble with his or her soul and step into eternity without Jesus Christ. For those of us from the Biblical School of Thought, we know that the bible teaches us, that hell is inside the earth. Scientist and bible teacher, Henry Morris, in his book, ( ” The Bible Has The Answer”, ) agrees that the bible does teaches us, that hell is somewhere in the heart of the earth. In Acts 2:31, Peter is letting his listeners know that when Christ died, that his soul when to hell, but, it  was not left in hell.  Hell is a real place, and, the following individuals will end up there:

 (a) Rejectors of the Gospel, Matthew 10:15;

 (b) Worshipers of the Beast, Revelation 14:11;

 (c) The Beast and the False Prophet, Revelation 19:20;

 (d) The Wicked, Revelation 21:8;

 (e) Fallen Angels, II Peter 2:4;

 (f) The Disobedient, Romans 2: 8-9;

 (g) The Devil and his Angels, Matthews 25:41.

Hell is not a place where one wants to end up.  Hell is a place of eternal punishment and everlasting destruction. It is a place of eternal torment and a lake of fire. The rich man who died and went to hell, said in Luke 16:24, ” I am tormented in this flame “.  Hell is a place of outer darkness, meaning, it is always pitch black darkness and night there, as pointed out in Matthew 8:12. There are four major types of torture in hell. There is physical torture, as the rich man stated, ” I am tormented in this flame”. There is psychological torture. It is going to be a terrible thing to be in hell, while at the same time seeing a glimpse of heaven, but cannot go there. Remember, the rich man in Luke 16: 19-31, saw Abraham afar off carrying Lazarus in his bosom, and, he cried out to Abraham for help, but, Abraham told him that there was a great gulf fixed between them and him, and that they could not crossover to him and he could not crossover to them. Hell is a place of horrifying social torture, where millions of lost, tormented souls are burning, weeping, wailing, and the unstoppable gnashing of teeth, ( Matthew 13:50). Finally, hell is a place of eternal torture. Hell is forever, as shown in the following scriptures, Mark 3:29, Jude 1: 6-7, Matthew 18:8 and 25:41 and Hebrews 6:2. There are about 160 references in the New Testament, which warns us of hell, and over about 68 of these were uttered by the Lord Jesus Christ. Those who choose to go to hell, will be turned into hell, according to Psalm 9:17.  Such persons will see, smell, breathe, hear, taste, and feel hell. These individuals will be turned into hell. Hell will be beyond the  human  capacity to comprehend or understand. However, there is some good news. No person or individual has to spend eternity in hell. Jesus Christ died for the sins of the entire world, so, that all who believe in Him, will spend eternity with Him in heaven. The unsaved person must believe that Christ died for our sins according to the Holy Scriptures, and, that He was buried, as proof of His death. He was in the sepulcher three days and three nights, and, that He rose again on the third day, according to the  Scriptures. Below is a simple prayer that one can say, and, if he or she truly believes it, Jesus Christ has  now become their Lord and Saviour:

 ” Lord Jesus, I know that you died for my sins and the sins of the entire world, and, that you were buried, and in the sepulcher three days and three nights, and rose again on the third day. I now ask you to come into my life and be both Lord and Saviour of my life, so, that I can spend eternity with You. I ask You to forgive me for all of my sins, both known and unknown, and, I do now by faith, gladly accept You as my personal Saviour, and, thank you Lord for eternal salvation. Amen.”

Once, a person says and truly believes the above prayer, he or she has just made heaven his or her home.
