SF567
WHY WE MUST WIN SOULS
The Destiny of the Damned
Revelation 14:9-13 (key v. 13)
INTRODUCTION
No one likes to think about hell.
Hell is a real place where real people go, for a real eternity!
R.G. Lee
"I KNOW SOME PEOPLE CALL THE PREACHER WHO STANDS SQUARELY UPON THE TEACHING OF CHRIST AND HIS APOSTLES NARROW, HARSH, CRUEL." THEN HE SAID, "AS TO BEING NARROW, I HAVE NO DESIRE TO ANY BROADER THAN WAS JESUS. AS TO BEING CRUEL, IS IT CRUEL TO TELL A MAN THE TRUTH? IS A MAN TO BE CALLED CRUEL WHO DECLARES THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD AND POINTS OUT TO MEN THEIR DANGER? IS IT CRUEL TO AROUSE SLEEPING PEOPLE TO THE FACT THAT THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE? IS IT CRUEL TO JERK A BLIND MAN AWAY FROM THE RATTLESNAKE IN THE COIL? IS IT CRUEL TO DECLARE TO PEOPLE THE DEADLINESS OF DISEASE AND TELL THEM WHICH MEDICINE TO TAKE?" AND THEN DR. LEE SAID THIS, HE SAID, "I HAD RATHER BE CALLED CRUEL FOR BEING KIND, THAN TO BE CALLED KIND FOR BEING CRUEL." THE CRUELEST THING A MAN COULD DO WOULD BE TO FAIL TO WARN PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT THE BIBLE HAS TO SAY ABOUT HELL.
(Proverbs 28:5) Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the LORD understand it fully.
Seven Facts About Hell...
1A. HELL WILL BE A PLACE FOR SINNERS
The Devil and his Demons will be There (20:10)
The Unbelievers and the Ungodly will be There (21:8)
The Greatest Sin... (Mark 12:28-31)
The greatest sin is to break the greatest commandment!
2A. HELL WILL BE A PLACE OF SEPARATION (14:13)
Revelation 21:27
Luke 16:19-26
3A. HELL WILL BE A PLACE OF DARKNESS
(Jude 1:13) ...blackest darkness has been reserved forever.
(Matthew 8:12) But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
4A. HELL WILL BE A PLACE OF DEATH (20:14)
Two Deaths...
Death in the Bible is not annihilation, it is separation (Jesus tasted death for every man.) Primarily it is the separation of the Spirit from God.
2 Thessalonians 1:7-9
5A. HELL WILL BE A PLACE OF DESPAIR (14:10-11)
Everlasting punishment!
No rest, relief, refreshment
Everlasting hopelessness
(Proverbs 11:7) When a wicked man dies, his hope perishes; all he expected from his power comes to nothing.
6A. HELL WILL BE A PLACE OF TORMENT (14:10,11)
(Matthew 25:41) "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.
(Revelation 20:14) Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.
(Mark 9:43) If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out.
LOVED ONES WILL WEEP O'ER MY SILENT FACE,
DEAR ONES WILL CLASP ME IN SAD EMBRACE,
SHADOWS AND DARKNESS WILL FILL THE PLACE,
FIVE MINUTES AFTER I DIE
FACES THAT SORROW, I WILL NOT SEE,
VOICES THAT MURMUR, WILL NOT REACH ME,
BUT WHERE, OH, WHERE WILL MY SPIRIT BE,
FIVE MINUTES AFTER I DIE.
NAUGHT TO REPAIR THE GOOD I LACK,
FIXED TO THE GOAL OF MY CHOSEN TRACK,
NO SPACE TO REPENT, NO TURNING BACK,
FIVE MINUTES AFTER I DIE.
MATED FOREVER WITH MY CHOSEN THRONG,
LONG IS ETERNITY, OH, SO LONG,
THEN WOE IS ME IF MY SOUL BE WRONG,
FIVE MINUTES AFTER I DIE.
7A. HELL IS A PLACE THAT CAN BE AVOIDED!
(2 Peter 3:9) The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
Adrian Rogers...
A YOUNG MAN GOING OUT, UH, FOR A NIGHT OF SIN, AS HE WENT PAST THE DOOR TO PICK UP HIS THINGS, HIS MOTHER HAD LAID A TRACT THERE ON THE LITTLE TABLE THERE BY THE DOOR. IT REALLY INFURIATED HIM, HE PICKED IT UP, CRUMPLED IT UP. HE WASN'T, SAVED. HIS MOTHER HAD BEEN PRAYING FOR HIM AND WITNESSING TO HIM. HE SAID, "MOTHER, WHY DO YOU GIVE ME THIS STUFF?" HE SAID, "TODAY, WHEN I GOT ON THE BUS, SOMEBODY HANDED ME ONE OF THESE TRACTS." SAID, "WHERE COULD I GO WHERE NO ONE'S GONNA GIVE ME THIS KIND OF STUFF?" MOTHER, WITH A QUIVERING CHIN AND A TEAR IN THE CORNER OF HER EYE SAID, "MY SON, IN HELL NOBODY'S GOING TO WITNESS TO YOU."
God Doesn’t Want Men to Go To Hell
That is why Jesus Died
That is why We MUST Win Souls!!!!!
