"Can you tell me how far it is to hell?"
This question was asked one Lord's day by a young man on horseback, as he dashed past a child of God. At the next turning the horse threw the scoffing rider. The fall broke his neck—and he was dead. He found out, more quickly and suddenly than he expected, how far it was to hell.
Reader, are you a scoffer? If so, beware. God may answer your sneering questions in the thunders of judgment. We know that this is a scoffing age, for it is written, "There shall come in the last days scoffers." 2 Pet. 3:33Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, (2 Peter 3:3).
Reader, see that you are not among those who question God's Word, for He has set it above His Name; and He has said that the wicked shall be turned into hell. He knows where it is!
