HELL AWAITS YOU--COME TO BE SAVED. Hell is not a fable invented by priests to frighten their fellow-men; but as sure as the Bible is the word of God, so sure is it that the wicked shall be turned into hell, and all nations that forget God. It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. Then all men must give an account of the deeds done in the body. God will judge the secrets of men. Then all sinners who have not obtained pardon by coming to Jesus will be on the left hand of the Judge, who will pronounce their dreadful sentence, Depart, ye cursed into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels. O who can tell the torments of that place? No more pleasant light of day, no more cheerful voice of friends, no more comforts of home, no more pleasures of the world and sin. The rich man can take none of his wealth with him, the gay man none of his amusements. Conscience will dart its sting past sins will be clearly remembered, and past opportunities of escape now gone for ever. O, that one of them might come back! O for one more Sabbath! O for one more hour to pray for mercy! But it will be then too late, too late. Darkness for ever, sin for ever, woe for ever, death for ever. Jesus speaks of it as the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone --outer darkness, where there is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth--where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched--where the wicked rich man, being in torments, cried out, Send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame. There he that is filthy shall be filthy still, and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever. What misery can be greater than what such words as these describe? How dreadful, then, to be in hell! What more horrible? And every unforgiven sinner is on his way to it. You whose eye now reads this page, if you are not pardoned, you are on your way. Every hour brings you nearer. Once there, and all hope is gone for ever. But is there no escape? Yes; one way, and one only. Flee to Jesus. He came to save from hell. God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in, cometh to, him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. Nothing can save you if you will not come; nothing can prevent your salvation, if you do come. Read Matt. 18:1-13; 25; Mark 9:43-48; Luke 16:19-31; Rev. 14:10, 11; 20:11-15; 22:11-15.
