The Path To Damnation!

Why do people end up going to the Lake of Fire ? They may have been really good people and done many things to help others and they still will end up in the Lake of Fire. The reason they end up there is that they have rejected Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. They have relied on their good works and being a good person to get them to heaven.
Ephesians; 2:8-9
(For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any should boast.)
Being good and doing things for other's will not get you to heaven. Once you are born again and have the Holy Spirit living in you, these works will come as fruit of the Spirit, not fruit of the flesh. We can never be good enough to merit heaven.

The false religions want you to believe that there are many ways to heaven and it is up to you which way you want to go. They deny the deity of Jesus and want you to believe they have the answers to salvation. They are the false teachers that the Word of God warns us about many times in the Scriptures. They want you to believe that they have gotten a new revelation from God and that the Bible is wrong. God wrote the Bible through inspired men and God doesn't make mistakes. He told them what to write down and when He was done He gave us this warning at the end of the Bible.
A WARNING
Revelation; 22:18-19
(For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.)

The path to damnation is the path of a non-repentant heart. This person is rejecting the only path to heaven and that is the path through Jesus Christ.
John; 14:6
(Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.)
We are all sinners and in need of a Savior and our Savior is Jesus. We might say that we don't sin much but one sin is all it took to separate us form God.
Romans; 3:23
(for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,)
God knew that we needed a Savior and He sent His Son to die in our place.
John; 3:16
(For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.)

There are two paths we can take, one will lead us to eternal life in heaven and the other to eternal separation from God in hell.
Matthew; 7:13-14
(Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.)
Don't listen to the false teachers, trust in the Word of God and be on the narrow path. Jesus tells us that if we don't believe in Him we will die in our sins and the penalty to sin is death.
John; 8:24
(Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.)
Repent and ask Jesus to forgive you and be your Lord and Savior. He is the only way.

God Bless You!
