Dear Soul,

Please don't resent me for writing you this uncomfortable letter.

It's a topic that is not frequently discussed, 

yet it will be the most important decision of your life.

"Where will you spend eternity?"

"Where will you be in a hundred years from now?"

Look around for a moment.

Everyone that you see will be in eternity

in a hundred years from now.

Some may say,

"How could a loving God send a person to hell?"

Soul, He doesn't send you there.

You send yourself there by rejecting the blood of His Son.

You would have to walk over His blood stained body in order to go to hell,

yet thousands of people everyday make their decision simply by doing nothing.

You may say, "I don't believe in hell,"

but that doesn't make hell any less real.

Hell is the chosen home of the unbeliever,

for nothing impure will enter the City.

Listen for a moment to what the Scriptures say about hell.

What if you were to come to such a place?

"But the wicked are like the troubled sea,

when it cannot rest,

whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

There is no peace, saith my God to the wicked."

               ~ Isaiah 57: 20-21

".... he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone

in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

And the smoke of their torment assented up forever and ever:

and they have no rest day nor night..."

                     ~ Revelation 14:10-11

"But the fearful, and unbelieving

and the abominable, and murderers,

whoremongers, and sorcerers,

and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part

in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone:

which is the second death."

              ~ Revelation 21:8

"And whosoever was not found written in the book of life

was cast into the lake of fire."

              ~ Revelation 20:15

"And shall cast them into a furnace of fire:

there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."

"Then shall he Say also unto them on the left hand,

Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire,

prepared for the devil and his angels..."

         ~ Matthew 25:41

"Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction

from the presence of the Lord,

and from the glory of his power..."

                   ~ 2 Thessalonians 1:9

***

Soul, what more could I say

that would convince you don't go down there?

Hell is a society at its worst.

To live among the most vile sinners,

whose lust can not be satisfied

whose cravings can never be quenched.

The reality of hell is so horrible

that words are inadequate to describe it!

Who could describe the horrid smell of flesh

falling off the bones, yet without death?

Where the worm never dies, and the fire is not quenched,

as you suffer alone in such hopelessness.

They dangle like a spider over an open flame,

waiting to descend at a moments time

into a night that has no morning.
