I'm sure you have heard people say, "I don't believe a loving God would send anyone into the lake of fire for eternity." Choosing not to believe something doesn't mean it isn't true. You have heard people say that they don't believe in the devil, but he does exist. People have said that they don't believe there is a God, but He does exist. As a matter of fact, the Bible tells us that God does exist and we all know it by what He has created. Believing or not believing is a choice we must make during our lifetime here on earth. The choice we make will determine our eternal destiny, whether we spend it in Heaven, or the lake of fire. Maybe you don't believe in either of the two, but it is true and they do exist.
Let's look at what the Word of God has to say about both of them. We will start with hell or the lake of fire.
Matthew; 10:28
(Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.)
If your name isn't in the Book of Life, your destiny will be the lake of fire.
Revelation; 20:14-15
(Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.)
There are many other places in the Bible that speak of hell and the lake of fire, but I have given you two. God tells us that hell does exist and God doesn't lie.
Now let's talk about God Himself. He has exhibited His power all through the Bible, and told us that He exist.
Genesis; 1:1
(In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.)
God also made man.
Genesis; 2:7
(Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.)
God doesn't say that we evolved from and ape or anything else, but that He made us. You may chose not to believe this, but that doesn't change the fact that God made us no matter what scientist try to say. Satan tries everything possible to make us believe the lie. He doesn't want us to believe in God.
God tells us that we all know that he exist and we won't have an excuse on the day of judgment. Saying that we didn't believe won't help us.
Romans; 1:18-20
(For the wrath of God is revealed against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.)
If you have even thought about what you are going to say to God at the judgment, He tells you right here you will not have an excuse. So saying you don't believe, doesn't mean it isn't so. You have a choice to make in your life You can choose to believe in the only begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ, and have eternal life, or you can choose not to believe in Jesus Christ and end up in the lake of fire.
BELIEVE IN JESUS!
John; 3:16
(For God so loved the world that, He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.)
John; 3:18
(He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.)
John; 8:24
("Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.")
We only have one life down here, and after that the judgment. By choosing not to believe in God, we will face that judgment resulting in the eternal lake of fire. You cannot ride the fence and say that you neither believe nor disbelieve. Not believing is a choice to pay for your sins yourself. The wages of sin is death in case you have forgotten. Choose Jesus and have your sins forgiven and receive the gift of eternal life from God. Jesus has already paid the price for your sins when He died on the cross. Accept His forgiveness.
God Bless You!
