Hell is Sin on Fire

While there may be some good things you think you can do, the problem is, you’ve done a lot of bad things as well, and God said in His word, He will not allow the guilty to go unpunished.  Who will die to pay the eternal penalty for your sins?  At Calvary's Cross, the Innocent died for the guilty.  Jesus assumed the penalty and paid the deadly price for all your sins against God all by Himself.  The penalty for the sins you have committed all through your life must be paid for by an innocent party, or you'll have to pay for them all by yourself eternally in the Lake of Fire.  If you love sin, you'll have to go to Hell.  Hell is simply Sin on fire.  Are you allergic to sin, or do you delight in sin?

The Lamb of God Himself was the perfect Sacrifice for human sin; His blood has covered the guilt of my sins.  Adam and Eve tried to cover their guilt with fig leaves. They tried to hide from God after they made their own covering for their nakedness - this was man's first attempt at false religion. Adam's apron of fig leaves was a man-made attempt to hide his guilty conscience. Genesis 3:7 was the first man-made, self-righteous religion.  But God will never be fooled by your self-righteousness. He can see right through all your excuses, tradition and ceremony, and He looks right into your very heart and listens to your thought life.  Your own merits could never cover your naked sinful soul in the sight of God.  God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ.  God in mercy provided Adam and Eve clothing from the bloodshed of innocent animals.  This was the first blood atonement for human sin by means of an innocent animal's blood sacrifice.  The animals were innocent substitutes for Adam's sin, for they had no sin nature.  Jesus was the innocent Sacrifice for our sins against the divine Law.  Are you in conflict with your sins, or are you enjoying sin?  Life is hard, and its even harder if you love sinning against God.  The way of transgressors is hard.  Hell is Eternity without Jesus.

On the Cross when Jesus was bleeding and dying in agony, God the Father treated Jesus as if He had lived your ungodly life with all your sins, so that God could then treat you as if you lived Christ’s life of pure holiness.  Christ Jesus came into the world to save lawbreakers.  God the Father imputed – deposited – all your sins to Christ's account, and now He can freely impute - deposit – all of Christ's Righteousness to your soul's account.  God the Father placed all your transgressions – all your iniquities – all your sins – on the head and shoulders of Jesus – and the punishment which Jesus endured on your behalf can now be your deliverance from sin.  *II Corinthians 5:19-21*  Who could ever pay for my guilt and forgive the great debt of all the sins I have committed?  Answer:  JESUS!

The Creator God who made the entire universe became a human being, so He could bear the sins of all mankind, and then bleed and die for our transgressions against the divine Law of God.  Jesus was born of the Holy Ghost.  The bread of Life was born at Bethlehem (the house of bread).  Jesus was born in a barn, because there was no room for Him in the inn.  The Lamb of God was born among cattle in poverty sore, and He died in shame as the wicked ones swore at Him.  Jesus was not Joseph's baby, but the new Bibles will tell you that. *Luke 2:33* Jesus of Nazareth was the Christ, the Son of the living God.  The baby of Bethlehem is so important that every other baby dates their birthday from Jesus' birthday.  Now understand - Jesus was God and man in one Person.  Only God can forgive sins; Jesus forgave sins while He was here on Earth.  Only God should be worshipped, but Jesus let people bow down and worship Him while He lived here below.  Jesus warned people about Hell all through His ministry; and if you are like Jesus, you will be warning men about Hell, and trying to persuade them to not go there.

This world has never had and never will have any room for Jesus Christ.  They may study and follow some of His teachings, principles and ideas.  They may follow and worship His disciples.  They may even pray to His mother, but they don't want the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.  This world has no use for the Jesus Christ of the Bible. *John 7:7; John 15:18*  Jesus lived a sinless life; He was as innocent in heart and mind the day He died as He was the day He was born.  This world hated Jesus without a cause, and they murdered Him for no good reason. The religionist likes to talk about his faith, but not faith in the blood of Jesus Christ - God manifest in the flesh.  Have you any room for Jesus?  He who died and bore your sins, so you could obtain free eternal life.  If you love sinning, you are headed straight for Hell.

When any woman brings a baby into this world, she is getting ready to populate either heaven or hell.  Where are you going when you die?  Jesus said that it would've been better if Judas Iscariot had never been born.  Jesus died for your sins, and then He came up from the dead three days later; His resurrection proved that He was the Son of God, not a son of Adam.  If you mess with the Bible and reject Christ, God will mess with your mind, and then He'll reject you at the Judgment.  Before any man is born again, he is a child of the devil spiritually. *I John 3:10; John 8:44; Ephesians 2:2* You don't want to die in your sins as part of Satan's family.

If you are lost, your body is alive, but your soul and spirit are dead towards God; you must be made alive inwardly by the Holy Spirit.  *Ephesians 2:1* Ye must be born again by the Spirit of God in order to escape from the family of Satan and the kingdom of darkness.  Just one sin against God makes you a sinner.  You have broken God's moral Law.  If you are carrying a load of guilt today, come now to the Cross and let Jesus take your guilt away.  Please stop defiantly rejecting Christ.  If you are restless in spirit, come to Jesus for His Rest. *Matthew 11:28* The wages of sin is eternal death.  Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world.  Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved from eternal death in Hell.  Hell is Sin on fire.  How can ye escape the damnation of Hell?  Answer:  Precious Blood!
