Unbelievable torment in Hell, avoid it at all costs
MAKING DISCIPLES LETTER
AL STANFORD
Life does not end at the cemetery.I suspect that there are lots of people down in hell, now in unbelievable torment that fully agrees, to avoid hell at any cost.
Only way is to secure a home in Heaven
And the only way to avoid this place called hell and everlasting torment is to secure a home in the place called the Kingdom of God, Heaven.
Salvation is given freely
And it does not matter what the person has done in this life, Jesus off ers His gift of salvation to everyone, freely.
The thief on the cross
Remember, over 2,000 years ago there was a man that was so bad, the Roman Government sentenced him to death by crucifixion and hung him on a cross next to Jesus.
Remember me, the criminal asked
In his torment, the criminal asked Jesus to remember him when He comes into His kingdom. And I don't think that Jesus examined the man's criminal life.
But Jesus knew the man's heart
God knows the hearts of every person. And I believe that Jesus instantly knew that this criminal's request was a genuine, heartfelt and a life changing request.
The criminal was born-again
I believe, at that instant, God sent His Holy Spirit, and the criminal was born-again.
Jesus told the criminal
Jesus said to the criminal hanging on a cross beside Him: Today, you will be with me in paradise. And I believe that man is in the presence of Jesus today.
Billy Graham always said
The worldly cost for an unbeliever may simply be too high. I remember the late Billy Graham regularly saying, being a Christian is hard, because they may have to give up the pleasures of this world they enjoy. A human cost, yes and every individual will have to make that determination.
God's Heaven will be awesome
I believe that God's heaven is so awesome and wonderful that the human mind cannot even begin to understand, and it is forever, and it is free.
Doctor says only a short time to live
And they have anything this world has to offer, and they may prepare great plans to continue that lifestyle. But what happens when the doctor tells an unsaved person they have an incurable disease and only a short time to live.
What is going on in an unsaved person's mind?
Suppose an unsaved person falls and is lying on the hospital bed in pain and the family is all around. I cannot even imagine what is going through that unsaved person's mind.
So, I say, don't wait
Now, while a person can, just get to your private spot, drop down on your knees and pour out your heart to God in the name of Jesus. Admit and name your sins, tell Him you are sorry for your sins and beg Him to forgive you.
God knows the hearts of everyone and will know if it is a heartfelt, life-changing request and if so, He promises forgiveness. Repent and turn from your sinful lifestyle. I believe at that instant; God sends His Holy Spirit, and that person is born-again, and salvation will be given.
Ask for baptism
Then tell a pastor and ask for baptism in water and get involved in fellowship with other born-again believers.
I believe a person will always remember
That is an important time, and I believe a person will always remember that important time in their life and will be proud to share it with others.
No, to unbelievable torment in Hell
At that point, a person will begin an exciting life in serving the Great Creator God in the name of His son, Jesus. and will want to engage in bible study, prayer and fellowship with other believers.
