Is There a Hell?
Many professed Christians question it. Skeptics scoff at it. Atheists deny it. Decidedly it is an unpopular doctrine today. Few preachers mention it; some openly reject it. In view of all this opposition, what shall we say? Simply, we turn to the unerring Word of God for confirmation.
“I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear Him, which after He hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, l say unto you, Fear Him” (Luke 12:4-5).
“And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire” (Revelation 20:13-15).
There is no need of comment upon these statements of God’s Word. God is too great, too holy to deceive any of His creatures. It is the “God who cannot lie” (Titus 1:2), that in love warns us lest we come into that place of torment.
