Heaven Or Hell

Heaven Or Hell

"Then he will say to those on his left, Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels."
Matthew 25:41

Every morning I usually look at the obituaries in the newspaper from my home town and also from our local newspaper. Each day the people who are listed in the obituaries are either in heaven or in hell. Where they are now depended upon how well they had prepared themselves during their life. If they had accepted Jesus into their hearts and asked Him for forgiveness of their sins, they are in heaven, but for those who had rejected His plan of salvation they find themselves in hell today. The Bible gives us a clear picture of what hell will be like, as Jesus had a desire that no one should go there and to avoid it at all cost. He describes it as a place where, "their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched." Mark 9:48. He also describes it as a burning lake of fire. There would be agonizing wailing and gnashing of teeth and the endless sizzling of burning flesh. It is not a place where anyone should want to spend all eternity in. God does not want anyone to spend eternity in hell, as it was prepared for the devil and his demons. How have you prepared yourself if your name was listed on the obituary page tomorrow? Would you be in heaven or in hell? You still have an option today, however, and one that you need to take seriously, as you are not promised your tomorrow, and today may be the last chance you will have to determine where you will be. Your only option to escape the fiery lake of fire called hell is to accept Jesus Christ as your savior. Do it Today.
