"I Don't Believe There's Any Hell!"

He was a red-haired boy about fourteen years old. He lived across the street, and, seeing me at work, dropped in for a chat. His opening comment was: "Say, Mr. Scott, I don't believe there's a hell."
"Yes, you do Arthur! You know right well there's a hell."
"No, I don't! I heard a man say yesterday there isn't any hell, and I don't believe there's one either."
"You know perfectly well there is a hell, and you know the wicked will be turned into it."
"Well, anyway, I wish there wasn't a hell!"
Arthur was honest; and we fear that most of those who "don't believe in hell," if they were honest, would have to say the same thing that Arthur did: "I wish there wasn't a hell."
It does not do away with hell when you say, "I don't believe there's a hell." God says there is a hell. He knows; you do not. Listen to His Word as spoken by the Psalmist: "The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God." Psalm 9:1717The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. (Psalm 9:17).
Christ Jesus Himself spoke these words: "It is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched." Mark 9:47, 4847And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: 48Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. (Mark 9:47‑48).
Accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior today, and be assured of an eternity with Him in heaven, rather than an eternity in hell.
