Title: Heaven and Hell (Revelation 21:1-8)
Contents
Heaven and Hell are the areas where the most sermons in the church are to be preached. However, in reality, he hardly ever preaches or is unable to preach. I've never heard of Hell in particular. Last week, Mother Teresa of India passed away. The daily newspaper expressed it as "a holy woman departing to heaven". Are there heaven and hell? Where is it?
I. there is an afterlife
Even after we die, there is another world.
① According to Korean custom: When you die, it is said that you are dead.
② Confucius said: "If there is one day in the world, one day in the second world."
③Buddhism: Describes the world after death in detail.
Plant Beasts: Thinking Future and Finding God
(Luke 16: ) There is a story of Lazarus the beggar and the rich man who did bad things. Moreover, Jesus was resurrected and is still in heaven.
II. There is hell.
(Hebrews 9:27) "It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment."
(Matthew 25:4) "The place prepared for the devil and his angels"
Jesus said (Matthew 10:28), "Do not be afraid of those who die in the body but cannot kill the soul, but fear those who destroy both body and soul in hell."
(Mark 9:48) "Where the worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched."
The Blanc philosopher Voltaire (1694-1778) argued that "there is no God, and the Bible is a lie," and exclaimed, "I will destroy Christianity in 50 years." However, he died, and the house he lived in was bought by the Bible Society of Switzerland and became a Bible factory, and the Bible is a bestseller today.
Ⅲ. There is heaven.
Why did the martyrs of the book of Acts endure death so much in glory? because of heaven. If you believe in Jesus, you must believe in Heaven. Where is the Lord who ascended to heaven 2000 years ago with that body at the end of 1997 right now? It's heaven. The death of the saints is the threshold of entering the kingdom of heaven. Man's hometown is heaven. The death of people with a certain faith is not the defeat of death, but the moment when they become triumphant generals who enter the kingdom of heaven with death as their doorway. (1 Corinthians 15:32) "If the dead do not rise again, let them eat and drink, for tomorrow they will die. Do not be deceived! Watch and do what is right and do not sin."
Ⅵ. Where is Hell and where is Heaven?
①Hell is: a fire that cannot be quenched, a place that cannot be avoided, and a place where there is no hope. (Revelation 20:14)
It is a lake that burns with fire and brimstone (Revelation 21:8).
②Heaven: A place where God reigns and the Lord dwells, and there are no tears or worries.
It is a place where there is no sin and disease, and there is no devil. (Rev 21:1-7)
Ⅴ. Who goes to hell and who goes to heaven?
① Go to Hell: Those who ignore God and are arrogant.
idolatrous and immoral.
Those who have not repented and have rebelled against Christ.
Despise the church, deny the cross, and be unbelievers.
One who is drunk with the world and has a partner with the devil (Revelation 21:8)
Those who have sinned and who speak lies (Rev 22:15)
②Go to Heaven: Those who believe in Jesus as their Savior and are baptized.
Those who received heavenly citizenship before death.
Those who obtained the authority of children of God before dying.
Those who are written in the book of life (Revelation 21:27)
Those who lived centered on God for the glory of God.
Those who kept God's law even in an evil world.
Those who did not bow down to idols (Revelation 20:4)
In (Acts 7:56), the first martyr, Stephen, said that he could see heaven. Preachers also have faith. I have not been to heaven, but if I have the heart of Christ in my heart and be filled with the Holy Spirit, I will believe in heaven (Luke 17:21). Heaven is experienced. If you go to heaven in the spirit, you will experience that heaven. Let's make the eternal real home heaven beyond our body our highest hope. Let's overcome the world for a while.
