How Can I Not Go To Hell?

[Chad]

Not going to hell is easier than you think. Some people believe they have to obey the Ten Commandments for their entire lives to not go to hell. Some people believe they must observe certain rites and rituals in order to not go to hell. Some people believe there is no way we can know for sure whether or not we will go to hell. None of these views are correct. The Bible is very clear on how a person can avoid going to hell after death.

The Bible describes hell as a terrifying and horrible place. Hell is described as “eternal fire” (Matthew 25:41), “unquenchable fire” (Matthew 3:12), “shame and everlasting contempt” (Daniel 12:2), a place where “the fire is not quenched” (Mark 9:44-49), and “everlasting destruction” (2 Thessalonians 1:9). Revelation 20:10 describes hell as a “lake of burning sulfur” where the wicked are “tormented day and night forever and ever.” Obviously, hell is a place we should avoid.

Why does hell even exist, and why does God send some people there? The Bible tells us that God “prepared” hell for the devil and the fallen angels after they rebelled against Him (Matthew 25:41). Those who refuse God’s offer of forgiveness will suffer the same eternal destiny of the devil and the fallen angels. Why is hell necessary? All sin is ultimately against God (Psalm 51:4), and since God is an infinite and eternal being, only an infinite and eternal penalty is sufficient. Hell is the place where God’s holy and righteous demands of justice are carried out. Hell is where God condemns sin and all those who reject Him. The Bible makes it clear that we have all sinned (Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:10-23), so, as a result, we all deserve to go to hell.

So, how can we not go to hell? Since only an infinite and eternal penalty is sufficient, an infinite and eternal price must be paid. God became a human being in the Person of Jesus Christ (John 1:1, 14). In Jesus Christ, God lived among us, taught us, and healed us—but those things were not His ultimate mission. God became a human being so that He could die for us. Jesus, God in human form, died on the cross. As God, His death was infinite and eternal in value, paying the full price for sin (1 John 2:2). God invites us to receive Jesus Christ as Savior, accepting His death as the full and just payment for our sins. God promises that anyone who believes in Jesus (John 3:16), trusting Him alone as the Savior (John 14:6), will be saved, i.e., not go to hell.

God does not want anyone to go to hell (2 Peter 3:9). That is why God made the ultimate, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice on our behalf. If you want to not go to hell, receive Jesus as your Savior. It is as simple as that. Tell God that you recognize that you are a sinner and that you deserve to go to hell. Declare to God that you are trusting in Jesus Christ as your Savior. Thank God for providing for your salvation and deliverance from hell. Simple faith, trusting in Jesus Christ as the Savior, is how you can avoid going to hell!

I been preaching for years , Hell was made for the devil and his fallen angels !
but i just thought ? eternal suffering is in the lake of fire ! which is different than the place in the deep in the earth !

Hell in the earth is not eternal ! it just a holding place for those rejecting , God FREE GIFT of eternal life , until judgment day !

Rev_19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Rev_20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Rev_20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Rev_20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Agreed: the lake of fire was prepared for the devil and his angels: And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire, etc.. But your thoughts on being tormented day and "night" for ever and ever: "And the gates of it (that great city, the holy Jerusalem) shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no "night" there."

Salvation , eternal life is a FREE GIFT ! we do not earn it we just accept it and Jesus Christ as LORD !

few will allow Him to be Lord of there lives! but He Only wants the very best for Us !

Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.


1Jn_2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

Heb 9:20 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.

Rom_1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

1Pe_4:6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.


1Co_1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

2Ti_1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:


Rom_6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Eph_2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Jas_1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Salvation is a Perfect gift and it is Eternal !

We Must give ourselves to Him 100% and All we have for salvation ! It Must be from our heart [Spirit] Because that where the change takes place !


Born -again is Just what it says ? A brand new Birth , just as Profound as our First 1
But of o9ur Spirit 1 We knoe it just as Mucvh as when we were born of water from our Mothers !


Eze_11:19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
Eze_18:31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Eze_36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
2Co_3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

I truly believe that What takes place at salvation ! I had my heart checked once a few years back ! The two doctors told me my heart was like a young guys ?

And i Never took care of my flesh !

You have totally misunderstood what I was asking you. I was asking what are your thoughts about where it says they will be tormented day and night, and yet it says there will be no night. I seek only after peace.

 

[spirit1st]

Jesus lights new Jerusalem with His glory ! We too will never be in darkness , Because our bodies will also shine like the Sun and the Son !

I think in the lasj of fire it suffering always !

I have no word of GOD on this ! but it appears too me ? The lake of fire is gre

at suffering and there spirit is eternal and does not die !

But He does say He able to destory the the spirit also ! So i am not sure about that !




I never asked , But i have wondered where those angels who are in outter darkness are ? and was there sin having sex with women ?

There are lots of things i wonder about , but i do not think it very important for me to know ? Having a hard time posting !It does not seem to be working right ! Praise the LORD !

No night for whom? For those who live in the presence of God there will only be light in that time. The others seem to go to a quite different place.
