1. Introduction
Hell is a real place that
exists in a different dimension than the realm we experience on a day to day
basis. It is a place filled with darkness, fire, terror, and endless torment.
The Lord Jesus warned us about it quite frequently in the Gospel accounts of
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. King David wrote about it in the Psalms. The
apostle Paul wrote about it in his epistles to the New Testament Churches. God
had prophets write about it in places such as the book of Ezekiel, chapters 31
and 32.
It is an abode of Satan’s
demonic hordes and a place of extreme heat. JOB 28:5 says: “[5.] As for the
earth, out of it cometh bread : and under it is turned up as it were fire.” [end
quote].
The Holy Spirit, using the
apostle Paul, wrote this truth in Galatians 6:7-8: "7. Be not
deceived ; God is not mocked : for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also
reap. 8. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption ;
but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life
everlasting." [end quote] Those who sow to the flesh will end up without
life everlasting. They will only receive corruption in Hell.
But, those who sow to God’s
Spirit will have life everlasting. Sowing means to walk according to. If we
walk according to the flesh, and don’t turn to the loving and holy Abba God, we
will reap corruption in Hell. But, if we walk according to Abba Father God’s
Spirit, and repent from sin (forsake it) when we
are convicted of it, we will be forgiven.
Fellowship and intimacy
(close friendship and harmony) with Abba God is the key to overcome sin and to
have meaning, purpose, and happiness in life. Sin is not fellowship with Abba
God, but rebellion against Him. So, we must turn to Abba Father God, rest in
what Jesus Christ did for us on the cross, and obey what our loving Abba God is
directing us to do.
If you have not made Jesus
Christ your Savior and Lord, we urge you to do so now. Confess that you are a
sinner, be willing to turn from sin (looking to God for help), and believe on
the Name of the Only Begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ. Jesus is God the Son.
Only Jesus Christ, by His blood that He shed on the cross, can save you from
sin and can give you eternal life, healing, and cleansing from sin, and
righteousness (completeness). Turn to Jesus today. You never know how long you
may live. (Read more about salvation at this

2. The Lake of Fire
There is a place in Hell
called the Lake of Fire in the book of Revelation, chapter 20, verse 14. It is a place of eternal torment which will contain all the souls who do not
have their names written down in the Lamb’s book of life, in Heaven.
