“Christians” going to Hell.
Don’t be disappointed by this. The blood of Jesus for the forgiveness of our sins cannot be taken lightly. We must repent of our sins when we become Christians, when the blood of Jesus cleanses us of all past sins (and God therefore forgives us of our past sins and welcomes us into the Kingdom of God). We also receive the Holy Spirit when we become Christians to guide and empower us in our Christian walk. The Holy Spirit is not to be taken lightly either. True Christians do not go to Hell when they die, they go to Heaven. But we have to be serious about our salvation. We need to be true Christians and serve and obey God with all our hearts, living according to what His Word and Spirit say, and growing to the maturity of faith and knowledge of God, in a delightful relationship with Him, and making sure of no Let’s not falter in our devotion and love for God. “Christians” who live in a half relationship with God, or sin often, can lose their salvation and go to hell when they die.
Someone has to tell the truth about this. The good news is that a strong and devoted relationship with God is very rewarding, with all kinds of exciting activities, and He has great and wonderful things in store for His faithful and chosen ones, in this life and the next.
Matthew 5:21, 22 [WEB]
You have heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not kill; and ‘anyone who kills will be in danger of judgment.’ But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother for no reason will be guilty of judgment. The one who says to his brother: ‘Raca!’ he will be in danger from the council. Anyone who says: ‘Fool!’ will be in danger of Gehenna fire [means: Hell].
Matthew 5:29 [WEB]
If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
Matthew 10:28 [WEB]
Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.
Mark 9:43 [WEB]
If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than to go with both hands to Gehenna, to the inextinguishable fire, ‘where their worm does not die, and the fire never goes out’.
Revelation 2:4, 5 [WEB]
But I have this against you, that you left your first love. Remember, therefore, from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; if not, I will come to you soon, and I will remove your candlestick from its place, unless you repent.
Revelation 3:1-5 [WEB]
… I know your works, that you are reputed to be alive, but you are dead. Wake up and save what was left, which you were about to discard, because I have not found any work of yours perfected before my God. Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Save it and repent. Therefore, if you do not watch, I will come as a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come upon you. However, you have some names in Sardis that did not stain their garments. They will walk with me dressed in white, because they are worthy. He who overcomes will be dressed in white garments, and I will by no means erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Revelation 3:15-19 [WEB]
I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot. Therefore, since you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth. Because you say: ‘I am rich, and have increased, and have need of nothing;’ and you do not know that you are the wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked; I advise you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may become rich; and white garments, so that you dress, and the shame of your nakedness is not discovered; and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. I rebuke and punish everyone I love. So be zealous and repent.
