Hell, Fire And Damnation

Scripture
Then He will also say to those on the left hand, "Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels
(Matthew 25:41 & 46)
Devotional
As sure as there is a place called heaven there is a real hell. It is a loving God's desire that none should perish, but that all would come to repentance.[1] It is likewise that a just God would deal with those who rebel and reject His forgiveness and love. To ignore a place called hell and to wrongly judge the One who says it is real is not only foolish, but also deadly. Read the account of the rich man and Lazarus in the sixteenth chapter of Luke's gospel. If you have access, read the historian Josephus' narrative on Hades. You will find that this place of torment is reserved for the self-cursed who understandably reject the free gift of eternal life in a place called heaven. There is hell, fire and damnation. But it is not reserved for you. All you have to do is place whatever amount of faith you have in the risen Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. Let the devil lay claim to hell.
