I don't think there is a hell. Neither do I think there is a real devil, or that any creature is bad and wicked. I don't think any of the dead will ever rise again. I don't think there is anything after death.
I used to think about these things. Sometimes I would think there might be a resurrection, a heaven, a hell. Then again I would think that there was no hereafter, and this would give me a measure of relief, but there was no certainty.
Now I have gotten rid of this miserable reasoning and thinking altogether. I don't think and worry and puzzle over a thing when I know that all my labor can never get to the bottom of it. I find that my thoughts are mere speculations of the human mind, so they only lead me astray.
The Son of God has come, and He has told us the truth. I can now say, I know. I no longer think the things are true. What then? I know they are. What gave me the certainty? God has spoken. "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away." Matt. 24:3535Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. (Matthew 24:35).
I now know there is a God of infinite holiness, truth and goodness. I know the devil is real. I know that man is at enmity against God, and that he is not awake to his condition. I know that God has displayed what was in His heart to man by sending His Son as the Savior into this world.
I say again, I do not think this. I know it. Before I believed His Word, it was all vain thoughts; since then it has been divine certainty. I know the Lord is coming for us very soon. If you put off your soul's salvation until that hour it will be too late. "He that believeth not God hath made Him a liar."
