The ever pressing message, and I dare say the Holy Spirit is out and about emphasizing . . . is that HELL IS REAL! It's no petty game or vain exercise, this life. It is serious. Hence why saints from all the ages will crawl across broken glass . . . to save the savable soul.
If you've been graced with the vision/experience of it . . . you find yourself sincerely thinking you wouldn't wish it on your worst enemy--including you fallen self!
The absence of God's presence . . . is Hell.
Those who hate and reject and fight and blaspheme willingly--those who want nothing to do with God, get their wish.
This life is sacred. It is a short, quick, miasmic run . . . through and around a glass darkly--it's hazy, murky this thing we call life here. THE REAL LIFE . . . THE ETERNAL LIFE . . . is crystal clear and more "real" than this sloggy (albeit blessed) run.
Imagine being left alone, trapped, bound, with only your selfish thoughts and tawdry animialistic and evil desires, bereft of air, breath, water, peace, sleep, rest, light, joy, GOD's bounty. . . . FOREVER!
Fear of the Lord is the beginning of (all) wisdom. It is a HOLY fear, for He is HOLY, PERFECT and JUST! And NONE can be in His Presence who are not perfect, good and holy. Hence, the mercy of The Messiah's sacrificial mission. He has made The Way!
Time is short and getting shorter. I am myself feeling the "full court press", end of the game (Holy) pressure . . . to conform, love and wholly serve THE ONE AND ONLY GOD OF ALL!
And . . . HELL IS REAL! I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, including myself.!!!
Praise GOD! Wide is the way to destruction, endless existence without The Lord, which is Hell, damnation, just punishment.
Narrow is the gate through salvation and endless glory, perfection, love and joy within and with the presence of God.
There is nothing more sobering, in this life, than the realization of the stakes at hand--HEAVEN or HELL!?
Follow The Way!
