Heaven or Hell – Eternal Glory or Torment

Glory With the Lord or Torment and Fire Without Him

I could not bring a more inspiring and hopeful message than today’s topic. For if you are a follower and true believer in Jesus Christ as God’s only begotten Son and if you confess and profess Him as risen from the dead and if you call upon His name living a life of faith and trust in Him you will live forever with Him in His home in heaven after your time on this earth is up. What could bring more hope and joy into a bona fide, Bible-believing, holy-living, Christ-witnessing Christian today? I would say nothing. This is salvation in Christ Jesus our Lord and it’s free!!

Eternal life with Christ – what a thought! Just writing these words this morning brings jubilant expectation into my heart, mind and soul. Remember it’s our faith and trust in Christ that will secure a place for us in His glory and His rest. We don’t have to perform earthly works to get there either. No weekly card filled with church attendance punches, no endless repetitive ‘bead’ prayers, no sin classifications, no earthly requirements at all. Just pure faith and trust in Christ. Now this is great happiness and great comfort to our souls. Heaven has been reserved for those that believe, have faith and trust in Christ without wavering. The knowledge of eternal existence with Jesus is sheer joy! And in His glory, sheer excitement!

“And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.” -1 John 5:11-13 (KJV)

Now on the other hand… hell and torment are real, just as heaven and glory. Of course there will be the skeptics who say there’s neither but let me present one thing for those folks. Would you risk or gamble your eternal life and the notion that neither heaven or hell are real vs. the stark reality that really are? Now that’s a huge [eternal meaning forever] risk to take. For once you die, enter eternity and find out they are in fact real, you can’t claim you made a mistake and return to change your mind. By then, it’s too late.

Friends, do not take the side of the naysayers, skeptics or scoffers when it comes to faith in Christ, belief in God Almighty and the reality of eternal life. For hell is a terrible, endless place of fiery torment and those that go there cannot come back or pass through into heaven. Do not fall prey to the belief of some false religions that preach there is a place called purgatory – a place where, once you die, go to earn your way into heaven. This is false teaching and deception, not scriptural and many who have believed this lie are, can I say, in misery, pain and suffering in hell.  Those that think they can live a lukewarm compromising Christian life here on earth then make things right in purgatory will be in for a rude [hot] awakening. BTW, show me the absolute proof of a place called purgatory in the Bible – book, chapter and verse and then we’ll see. Hint: you won’t find it! 

In hell, for those that choose this unwisely, there will be nothing but suffering, agony, endless flame and even a worm that continually devours your flesh – Mark 9:48. This place was not created or meant for humans but for the Devil and his hoards – Matt 25:41. This is a hideous place and one that can be avoided but you must do it while in the body here on earth. For once you die your destination is locked in and cannot be changed – Heb 9:27. So the most important thing you can do today is to understand heaven and hell, what they are and what it takes to get there. Then choose heaven and glory with Christ as your Savior or hell and torment by just doing nothing. No belief in God, no faith – hey, just keep living a worldly, sinful and unrepentant life and you will absolutely with no questions asked … go there! Atheists, agnostics, unbelievers will be your company. There will be no virgins and for certain, no partying. Only endless torment, agony and affliction. I hope I have made my point clear enough.

If you don’t find this message today sobering and dreadful, yet on the flip-side full of hope, joy, happiness and endless bliss with Christ. If you don’t find it moving your soul then you’ve missed it completely.

Are you so numb or callous that these real places don’t cause you to think what path am I really on…? What do I really believe? And who do I believe in?

Heaven and hell are real places and you must consider carefully where you will go once you pass from this life into eternity. Please give this your undivided attention today for as I’ve said many times before there are no guarantees that we will live another minute, hour, day, week, month or year. Now is the day of salvation in the Lord, not tomorrow.

So where do you hear about these things today? Is anyone talking about them? How about in your church service? The pastor/s ever preach on these topics? Are you taught about your sin and the impact it has on your eternal destination especially when repentance is not addressed? Please friends seek God’s truth found in His word. Please be a Berean (Acts 17:11) and search the Bible out for the things I’ve said here today. Prove me right and fear God or prove me wrong but get in your Bibles and immerse yourself in the Lord’s words of life – John 6:63. Amen.
