Hell

                                               When the Door Slams

       As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world, according to the prince of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.
       Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved).
                                                                                                             Ephesians 2:1-5

       The Lord does not say that hell-fire was prepared for human beings. Although we all are sinners and guilty of eternal death, nevertheless God wanted to prevent this misery by giving His Son into death for us. and thereafter He revealed His good Word to us, so that we know what we are to do if we want to serve God and live to please Him.

       Think about this: Our heavenly Father would very much like for us to be saved and, therefore, has ordained for us, not eternal fire but heaven and eternal life. But some of us despise the forgiveness of sins through Christ as a insignificant treasure.... We also take no delight in doing what God tells us to do in order to serve Him. Since, then, we degenerate to the very level of the devil and observe his will more than the Word of our Lord God, it must follow that we are obliged to share this judgment. We prepare this doom for ourselves. 

Ask the Spirit to search your heart and reveal any areas of unconfessed sin. Acknowledge these to the Lord and thank Him for His forgiveness.
