Hell
Hell is not a fairy tail. Mark 9:43-48, Rev. 14:10-11, Rev. 21:8
I: Jesus Taught the Reality Of Hell.
1. He taught that hell was so real that:
a. It was better cut off your hand than let it send you to hell.
b. It is better to cut off your foot than let it send your body to hell.
c. It is better to pull out your eye than let it send your soul to hell.
2. Hell was so real to Jesus that he:
a. Left the splendors of Heaven and was born in a manger to keep men from hell.
b. He suffered the temptations of man and tasted of their sorrow to keep them from.
c. He gave his body; was broken and his heart crushed with sin to keep from hell.
II: What Kind of Place is Hell?
1. It is a place prepared for the devil and his angels. Matt. 25:41
2. It is a place of everlasting fire.
3. No music, but weeping.
4. No rest, but tormented day and night.
5. No light, blackness and outer darkness.
6. No flowers will bloom in hell.
7. No water will be there to quench thirst.
8. No child’s laughter nor baby’s cry. (Warrens 13).
9. Hell will be a place of vile companionship.
III: Will God Send Souls to Hell?
1. God made Hell for those that refuse Heaven.
2. He is not willing that any should perish.
3. He has done all he could do to keep men from Hell.
4. He died to keep men from Hell.
5. Jesus wept over Jerusalem because she refused the heavenly way.
6. Every soul sends himself to hell by refusing to walk the way of the cross. You decide your own destiny.

Hell: The prison house of despair.
Here are some things that won’t be there:
No flowers will bloom on the banks of Hell.
No beauties of nature we love so well.
No comforts of home, music and song.
No friendship of joy will be found in that throng.
No children to brighten the long weary night.
No love nor peace, nor one ray of light.
No blood washed soul with face beaming bright.
No loving smile in that region of night.
No mercy, no pity, pardon nor grace.
No water, O God what a terrible place.
The pangs of the lost, no human can tell.
Not one moments ease — there is no rest in Hell.
Hell: The Prison House of Despair.
Here are some things that will be there:
Fire and brimstone are there we know. For God in His word has told us so, memory, remorse suffering and pain. Weeping and wailing, but all in vain, blasphemers, swearers, haters of God. Christ rejectors while here on earth trod, murderers, gamblers drunkards, and liars. Will have their part in the lake of fire. The filthy, the vile, the cruel and mean. What a horrible mob in Hell will be seen. Yes, more than humans on earth can tell are torments and woes of eternal hell.
