The Choice Is Up To Us

The Choice Is Up To Us

“The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Matthew 13:41-42

Jesus Christ died for all sinners, and all who receive Him are forgiven of their sins and will receive an eternal life. But Jesus also tells us that all who do not believe in Him and receive Him as their Lord and Savior will spend their eternity in Hell. The scripture above is just one of many that describe what Hell will be like, and it waits for those who do not come to know Jesus. In the Book of Matthew alone there are over 40 scriptures where Jesus warns us about Hell. Throughout the Bible He warns us of the kind of life we are to lead while on this earth. It is not going to be an easy journey as He tells us the gate to Heaven is a small one but the gate to Hell is a wide one. He tells us that the road to Heaven is narrow but the road to Hell is broad. There are two destinations we will all arrive at, either life or destruction. There will be two groups of travelers, the few that will reach Heaven, and the many that will reach Hell. There are also two lifestyles we can live, either the Doers or the Sayers. Then there are the two inevitable ends we all will come to face, either entering the kingdom of Heaven, or to be thrown into the burning lake of fire, Hell. The torment of Hell will be everlasting. Nothing will be as horrible about Hell as its endlessness. People in Hell will experience the absence of hope. But Hell does not have to be our destiny, as Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, and to give us a future of eternal life in Heaven. The choice is all up to each of us.
