Saul's attendants said to him, "See, an evil spirit from God is tormenting you. 16 Let our lord command his servants here to search for someone who can play the harp. He will play when the evil spirit from God comes upon you, and you will feel better." Samuel 16:15
Recently, it has been brought to my attention that so many people believe in heaven but not hell. The reason being that God is merciful, a God of unlimited grace-He wouldn't possibly be so mean enough to send people to hell.
Okay, I get that, but then why do the same people believe that God punishes us on earth. I believe that there are consequences of sin, but not punishment after repentence. Anyway... people believe in ghosts, haunted houses, evil on earth, punishment, but not Hell.
God doesn't choose to send people to hell. People by denying Christ, go to hell. I realize this is not a popular subject or a nice thing to think about, but it's the truth and we need to acknowledge it. Deciding to ignore it is denying the supremacy, and the sovereignty of God- not to mention it's declaring that the death of Christ was unnecessary!
We need to get this! We need to take the whole Bible as truth! It's true! If God allows evil to enter our lives here (for the sake of His kingdom and glory), why would we think that he would'nt allow us to live eternally in hell. He gives us a choice. It's our choice. So makethe choice for eternal salvation. And if you continue to deny Him- beware.
I say all of this in love. I don't want people to be blinded or to miss the whole truth! I want to see you in Heaven. And so I tell you this not to scare or threat but to tell you that God is a God of Infinite Grace! We just need to believe and trust and have faith in the Father and death of His Son Jesus Christ and then we will be delivered.
Revelation 20:15 (New International Version)
15If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
