Title: About Hell
Series: The Lies

What do we think hell is like? Do we picture a burning, barren landscape populated by the devil’s pitchforked minions? Does it impress us as reality or does it feel like a myth? What is the truth and what is cultural misrepresentation?

How do we form our thinking on something that we find so easy to disregard?

And, most importantly, how do we keep ourselves from devolving into hellish creatures rather than the magnificent heavenly beings that God sacrificed His only son for us to become?

10 Then the devil, who had deceived them, was thrown into the fiery lake of burning sulfur, joining the beast and the false prophet. There they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

11 And I saw a great white throne and the one sitting on it. The earth and sky fled from his presence, but they found no place to hide. 12 I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God’s throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up its dead, and death and the grave[a] gave up their dead. And all were judged according to their deeds. 14 Then death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is the second death. 15 And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire.

Revelation 20:10-15 (NLT)

46 “And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life.”

Matthew 25:46 (NLT)
