HELL is a big scam: Well, Don’t be deceived!
Few
concepts have shrouded the notion of
Hell. While some dismiss it as a mere fabrication, a relic of ancient
superstition, countless others have found solace and purpose in the belief of
its existence.
The
concept of Hell, as depicted in various religious texts, is a place of eternal
separation from God, a realm of suffering and torment reserved for those who
have rejected His divine love and mercy. It is a stark contrast to the heavenly
paradise promised to the righteous, a place of unimaginable bliss and eternal
communion with the divine.
Throughout
history, countless individuals have testified to the reality of Hell, either
through personal experiences or through the accounts of others. From religious
leaders and saints to ordinary people, their testimonies have served as a
powerful reminder of the eternal consequences of our choices in this life.
While
some may argue that the concept of Hell is a tool used to manipulate and
control people, the truth is that it is a reflection of the divine justice and
holiness. God, as a just and loving creator, cannot allow evil to go
unpunished. The existence of Hell serves as a warning, a call to repentance,
and a reminder of the importance of living a life that is pleasing to Him.
The
notion of Hell is not a mere fabrication but a timeless truth that has been
affirmed by countless individuals throughout history. It is a reminder of the
eternal consequences of our choices and a call to embrace the path of
righteousness and salvation.
One
truth remains unchanging: God loves us with an everlasting love. His heart
beats with compassion, mercy, and an unwavering desire that none should perish.
His love is not a distant echo but a tangible, powerful force that seeks to
draw us into a deep relationship with Him. The Bible tells us, “For God so
loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth
in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). This
verse is not just a comforting phrase; it is a proclamation of God’s heart for
humanity.
Yet,
as we journey through life, many have chosen paths that lead far from His
embrace. In a world overflowing with distractions, temptations, and the allure
of self-reliance, countless souls wander, forgetting the divine purpose for
which they were created. God has given us free will, a gift of immense
responsibility. But in exercising this gift, so many have forgotten the reality
of Heaven and the horror of Hell.
Hell is not a scam; it is a reality.
The Bible warns us repeatedly, calling us to awaken from our spiritual slumber.
Jesus spoke more about Hell than anyone else in Scripture, not to frighten us
but to urge us to choose life. “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is
the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter
through it” (Matthew 7:13). These words are not a threat; they are a
warning from a loving Father who knows what lies ahead for those who reject His
mercy.
Yet,
in His infinite grace, God does not take pleasure in the death of the wicked. “As
surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death
of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live” (Ezekiel
33:11). He longs for each of us to turn from our own ways and walk with Him on
the path that leads to life.
Think
of the wonders He has created, the marvels that reveal His divine
craftsmanship. The stars that light up the night sky, the oceans that sing of
His majesty, the mountains that stand firm in their testimony of His greatness
— all these point us to a Creator who is not only mighty but also deeply
personal. He knows each of us by name and counts every hair on our heads (Luke
12:7). He is not distant or uncaring but intimately involved in our lives,
rejoicing over our victories and weeping over our waywardness.
Yet,
how often do we turn a deaf ear to His calling? How often do we allow the noise
of the world to drown out His still, small voice? The world tells us that
Heaven and Hell are fairy tales, myths designed to control us. But Heaven is real,
and so is Hell. Heaven is a place of indescribable joy, where every tear will
be wiped away, where death and sorrow and pain will be no more (Revelation
21:4). It is the eternal home that God has prepared for those who love Him, a
place where we will live in perfect harmony with Him forever.
Hell,
on the other hand, is a place of torment, a place where the soul is separated
from the love and light of God for all eternity. Jesus described it as a place
of “weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matthew 13:42). It is not God's desire for
anyone to end up there. He is constantly reaching out, offering grace,
forgiveness, and a way back to Him. But He also respects our free will; He will
not force Himself upon us.
God’s
love is not passive; it is an active, pursuing love. The Scriptures tell us
that “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand
slowness. Instead, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but
everyone to come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). Even now, His heart is moved
with compassion for those who have wandered away, who have fallen into sin, who
feel lost and beyond hope.
Oh,
beloved, do not be deceived! Heaven is not a reward for the perfect; it is the
destination for the forgiven. Hell is not a punishment for those who have made
mistakes; it is the consequence for those who have rejected the gift of
salvation. God, in His infinite mercy, offers us a choice every day — to choose
Him, to follow Him, to trust in His promises, and to believe in His love.
If
you have drifted from Him, know that His arms are wide open, ready to welcome
you back. If you are burdened by guilt or shame, know that His grace is
sufficient, and His forgiveness is abundant. He has promised that “though
your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red
as crimson, they shall be like wool” (Isaiah 1:18).
Let this truth stir your heart today:
God does not want anyone to perish. His desire is that all
would come to repentance and experience the fullness of His love. Heaven is
real, and it is waiting for those who will put their trust in Him. Hell is real
too, and it is a place of eternal separation from God, reserved for those who
choose to reject His grace.
So,
let us turn our hearts to Him with renewed fervor. Let us not be distracted by
the fleeting pleasures of this world, but rather, let us fix our eyes on Jesus,
the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). May we live each day in
the light of eternity, knowing that the choices we make today echo in the halls
of forever.
Heaven
is our true home, where joy is everlasting and peace is unending. Let us make
every effort to enter through the narrow gate and lead others to the path of
life.
Dear
reader, remember that God loves you more than you could ever imagine. And He is
calling you today — come home to His love.
The
Bible teaches us that repentance is necessary for salvation and for a restored
relationship with God. Jesus Himself proclaimed, “Repent, for the kingdom of
heaven is at hand” (Matthew 4:17). Remember, repentance is not about
perfection; it is about a heart turned toward God. It is a daily surrender to
His will, a continual turning away from sin, and a desire to live in the light
of His love and truth. God rejoices over every sinner who repents (Luke 15:7).
He is not looking for flawless behaviour but a humble, contrite heart that
seeks Him above all else.
If
you are ready to repent, take that step today. God is waiting with open arms,
ready to forgive, restore, and fill you with His peace. Turn to Him, and
experience the fullness of His love and grace.
Dear
Heavenly Father,
I
come before You today with a humble and repentant heart. I acknowledge that I
am a sinner and that I have gone astray from Your ways. I have sinned against
You in thought, word, and deed, and I am truly sorry.
I
believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son, that He died on the cross for my sins,
and that He rose again on the third day. I believe that through His sacrifice,
I can be forgiven and made new.
Lord
Jesus, I invite You into my heart. I ask You to be my Lord and Savior. Please
forgive me for all my sins, cleanse me from all unrighteousness, and fill me
with Your Holy Spirit. Help me to turn away from my old ways and to follow You
faithfully all the days of my life.
Thank
You, Lord, for Your mercy, grace, and unfailing love. I trust in Your promise
of salvation and believe that I am now a new creation in Christ. Thank You for
saving me.
In
Jesus’ name, I pray.
Amen.
Samuel
