In Depth Bible Study: Standing on the Edge of Eternity Lesson 8

Standing on the Edge of Eternity
Lesson 8

If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life  maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to  hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched—where ‘Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched.’And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into  hell,  into the fire that shall never be quenched—where ‘Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched.’And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into  hell fire—where ‘Their worm does not die And the  fire is not quenched.’ - Mark 9:43-48 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark9:43-48&version=NKJV
Hell is a real place. Not a fairy tale or something preachers made up to scare us.god is able to destroy both soul and body in hell (Matthew 10:28).  Those who have not obeyed God, don't know Him, will be punished for all eternity (1 Thessalonians 1:8-9). They will go away into everlasting punishment (Matthew 25:46). Remember God can't look on sin (Habbakkuk 1:3). He is holy, holy, holy (Isaiah 6:1-4). So sin must be punished. 

“When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the  holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.All the nations will be gathered before Him, and  He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.And He will set the  sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father,  inherit the kingdom  prepared for you from the foundation of the world:for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink;  I was a stranger and you took Me in;I was  naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me;  I was in prison and you came to Me.’“Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink?When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You?Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you,  inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’“Then He will also say to those on the left hand,  ‘Depart from Me, you cursed,  into the everlasting fire prepared for  the devil and his angels:for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink;I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’“Then they also will answer  Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you,  inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’And  these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” - Matthew 25:31-46 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew25:31-46&version=NKJV
Let's keep this passage in mind. The way we treat others determines our fate. If we are willfully blind to the needs of others and refuse to help, our place will be with the devil and his angels in hell. Take hell seriously for it is real.

Gospel Wednesday: Romans Chapter 10: Confess Him

Image
Romans Chapter 10 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,

Happy Easter

Matthew 28:1-15 Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men. But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.” So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word. The Women Worship the Risen Lord And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus
