1. Hell Is REAL Place Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28
2. Hell Is A Place Of ETERNAL Punishment “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.” Matthew 25:46
3. Hell Is A Place Of CONCIOUS Awareness So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’ Luke 16:24
“Hell Is A Freely Chosen Identity Based On Something Else Apart From God.” ~Timothy Keller~
The Cross Teaches Us That:
1. Jesus Believed That God’s WRATH Was Coming But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! Rom 5:8-9
2. There Is No Other way To God Except THROUGH Jesus “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me.” Matthew 27:39
3. Hell Is AVOIDABLE
"In the long run the answer to all those who object to the doctrine of Hell is itself a question: 'What are you asking God to
do?' To wipe out your past sins, and at all costs, to give you a fresh start, smoothing every difficulty and offering every miraculous help? But He has done so, on Calvary. To forgive you? But you do not seek to be forgiven. To leave you alone?
Alas, I am afraid that is what he does." ~C.S. Lewis ~ Life Group Discussion Questions: Waipuna Chapel values authentic community expressed In Life Groups. Like to join a group check out our directory at www.waipunachapel.com
