Dont let the ruler of this world, Satan, deceive you. Hell is not a big party where you will enjoy spending your time with friends. Hell is real. Ands this video really doesnt even begin to capture the horror I imagine it to be. The worst part for me would be the eternal separation from the God I rejected, the Savior I wanted nothing to do with because it made me feel too guilty for my sins, which I wanted to believe were anything but sins. Heaven is real. Jesus Christ waits there for the Father to tell him GO, bring back those who have a personal relationship with you, the Son, the Savior Jesus Christ - trusting in him alone for eternal salvation rather than eternal condemnation - in Hell. Being a good person isnt enough. Praying isnt enough. Reading your Bible and going to church isnt enough. If you dont have a personal relationship with the Savior. He died for your sins and mine, rose again and is coming back for those who accept Gods free gift of grace. Will you be ready? Does this mean you will be able to live a sinless life if you put your trust in him? No, but your sins will be covered under the blood. There will always be temptation and occasions to stumble and sin. But our goal should be to repent, turn from those sins and allow the Holy Spirit inside us to transform our lives. We may never be completely sin free in this lifetime, but we can sin less - now that we are aware that sin is a problem. Why should we sin less? Not because our sins arent covered, but because we love the Lord and want to change to be more like His Son, Jesus. Because we want to be busy serving and following him, more than serving this world. Its not an easy road. But the eternal destination is one that is worth the struggles we go through, worth the effort to focus on Jesus rather than selfish desires. Its all about LOVE - our love for others and our love for the Lord. If we love the Lord like we say we do we wont want to steal from our neighbors, cheat on our spouses with our neighbors, kill our neighbors. (Neighbors in this case is anyone on earth). Our desire will be to do the will of God as He outlines in His Word. Not following endless rules but one rule - to love the Lord our God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength and our neighbors as ourselves while we devote our lives to allowing the Lord to transform us back into the perfect image of Himself he created us in. Dont let Satan steal your joy, the joy of knowing that this temporary home where we get sick, have problems, struggle with sin will one day be left behind. Focus on knowing that Jesus wants to be reunited with us, to see the creation His Father sent Him to save from the bondage of sin. I cannot even begin to tell you to start your own journey - Google Steps to Peace with God and you will get a better explanation of where we are as sinners and how we can become saved by the grace of God - saved, not made perfect and sinless in an instant.
