Title: Voices from Hell/Luke 16:19-31
Contents
When I told the person who said, “Where is heaven or have you seen hell?” and then told him to go to hell when he died, he got angry.
Why do you gasp? That I'm going to hell
Believers and non-believers alike regard hell as a place they do not want to go to.
In the Old Testament, Hell is called Sheol. It is a place where sinful and wicked people are punished.
means
In the New Testament, Hell is called Hades, which means a place of suffering and fire.
In addition to that, in the Bible, Hell is described as a place of darkness in the abyss and the abyss.
The rich man, the main character of the text, went to hell.
If I had known in advance that it was a scary, hot and painful place, I would go to hell by any means.
He probably didn't.
it's messed up
Even today, many people, and even some of those who go to church, wonder if there is a hell.
Because of our thoughts, we live our own lives, sin, and disobey God.
The text is showing that such people say that there is hell and hell is such a place.
We find some great truths in the text
1. It is the fact that all humans die
The poor beggar Lazarus died, and the rich man died.
The death of a rich man How difficult it must have been to die How precious the wealth he had enjoyed so far How hard to let go
You may have heard, but death came to two people equally. There is no distinction between death and no exceptions.
I attended the funerals of others, mourned and comforted them, followed them to the place of deportation and lived until a few days ago
It is our habit to bury someone who was there and stand there and think that I will be an exception.
A person who grieves and mourns the death of another person, yet thinks that I will die like this
There is a difference in time and order, but everyone will die. You can go a little earlier.
Might go a little later but it's the same to die in the end
Some people die of a heart attack in the car while playing golf because it's good for their health, and some people get stressed out.
He said he was going to cattle, and while driving out of town with his family, he died in a car accident.
Some people will die of snake venom while eating hot water, some people will stumble while hiking, and we will die one day too.
The question is, will you live and die like Lazarus? Do you live and die like a rich man? Do you die doing something meaningful and worthwhile?
Whether to die in vain pursuits is a matter for us to decide
2. It is the fact that you will go to either heaven or hell.
Perhaps you thought that although I did not believe in Jesus fervently, I still went to church sometimes, and sometimes even published an annual report.
Even if you say you can't go to heaven because you hit it, you'd be wrong if you said that you wouldn't go until near heaven.
There is no strait or neutral zone between heaven and hell
As some people say, you are somewhere in between, neither heaven nor hell, and your descendants will do many good deeds.
If you do this a lot, there is no purgatory that ascends to heaven, but there is only heaven and hell.
it's just
If you believe in Jesus and you are saved, you will go to heaven. If you do not believe in Jesus and are not saved, you will go to hell. There will be compromises and compromises.
You can not
Where do you guys want to go? You want to go to heaven You want to go to hell You haven't decided yet
For those of you, I'm going to explain what hell is like.
No, how does a pastor know hell? I've been to hell. Of course I've never been. But I hear from hell.
There is a sound coming. The rich man who went first vividly tells the story of his experience. It is the voice of the rich man.
That person's mouth is explaining what hell is like
What kind of hell did the rich go through?
1) It is a hot place
In verse 24, the rich man said, “I am troubled in the midst of this flame.” And he sent Lazarus to pour water on the tip of his finger
Dip it and cool my tongue
In Revelation 19:20, Hell is said to be a lake burning with brimstone, and in 21:8 it is said to be a lake burning with fire and brimstone.
I did
When a large building or hotel catches fire, more people die from suffocation from poisonous gas than those who die directly from the fire.
say a lot
Sulfur- it spews a poisonous gas that when it burns, the poisonous gas is spewing out words.
But since hell is a place where fire and brimstone burn together, the hot situation cannot be described in words.
54 years ago, the U.S. Air Force aircraft, the B29 generation, departed from the Guam airfield and crossed 2740 km in 6 hours and 30 minutes
After a long flight, they arrived in Hiroshima, Japan, and dropped an atomic bomb at 580 nm from the ground.
Within a 2km radius of the drop site, it was completely burned without a trace, and people felt as if molten iron was melting.
At that time, Hiroshima had a population of 300,000 including the garrison, but 140,000 died instantly.
The rest died from the aftereffects, and Koreans were also living there, and the atomic bomb killed 20,000 people in an instant.
If there is one event that best describes hell on this earth, it is the atomic bombing.
The atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima wasn't that big, it was about 20,000 tons, but it exploded 0.3
After seconds, the surface temperature has reached 7,000 degrees. In a word, it is a man-made hell bomb.
But it cannot be compared to hell. Hell is a hotter place. It is an eternal lake of fire, and it never dies.
Hell is a place of suffering that cannot be compared to the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. Hell is a scary place.
It's a hot place
2) Hell is a painful place
In verse 23, it is said that she is in torment in Hades, in verse 24 it says that she is troubled, and in verse 28 it is said that she is suffering.
Said to be the place to be
In Revelation 20:10 it is said that they will be tormented for ever and ever, and there will be neither night nor day, where there will be joy.
I have no hope or song, there is only despair and frustration and pain but the most painful thing is hell
It is not that the suffering of the people of the world will end temporarily, but that it will continue without night or day for ever and ever.
No matter how great the pain, if you have the expectation that it will pass after a while, you can endure it, but the pain of hell
will go on forever without night or day
In that sense, we must choose between two eternities: eternally happy and beautiful.
You have to choose between a down eternity or an eternity of unhappy and painful eternity.
3. How do you live while you are alive?
It is the fact that what you do determines the world after death.
Verse 25: Remember this, for in your lifetime you received your good, and Lazarus suffered.
said that you are comforted here and you are troubled. In other words, death is the end of everything.
is that it doesn't
When we die in our lifetime, a new time, world, and life begin from the moment we die.
Great Evangelist Billy Graham Is You Afraid to Die? I said I'm afraid to live
It means how you live is more important, not how you die, because how you live is important.
When we die, that doesn't mean everything ends. Heaven and hell are ready before us. Go to heaven.
Those who live prepared will go to heaven when they die
will
4. It is true that even the rich man who went to hell was concerned about the salvation of the five brothers.
In verses 27-28, we read that the rich man sent Lazarus to Abraham, and sent Lazarus to the five brothers living in his hometown to be tortured in hell.
There's a scene where he asks him not to come to this tormented place by letting him know. This rich man is too much from hell
After going through a lot of pain, I realized that this pain was something that no human being could ever experience.
I thought of my five brothers who were still alive. So, we sent the dead Lazarus back to this world, and our family
I am asking my family to evangelize because there is such a scary and painful hell.
The 530 Evangelism Festival that we have held is a movement to rescue brothers from hell
If even the rich who went to hell realized the urgent need to save the souls of their brothers and regretted that they would come to that hell, then hell would
As those of us who know what it is, how can we just look after our brothers and sisters?
how? We must fast, watch, and pray for the salvation of the souls of husbands and wives, parents and children, brothers and relatives.
We must listen to the screams of those who are rolling down to hell at this hour screaming for my life
It's murder if you go in a boat and don't save a drowning man
If he went to hell because I didn't tell him the good news of eternal life, I would
will bear the blood price for the soul
Those who came out for the first time today are really welcome. So, what should you do so that you don't go to hell?
First, you must accept and believe in Jesus as your Savior.
Then you won't go to hell
Look at Acts 4:12
“For there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
Salvation is only in Jesus
But that's the argument to go to hell.
“Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household” (Acts 16:31).
If you don't believe you will go to hell.
Second, we must stand firm in our faith and not be shaken.
If you fall into a heresy, fall into a pseudo-religion, or leave the Lord because of temporary persecution or suffering,
You will go to hell, but if you stand firm and keep your faith, you will go to heaven. Knights and miracles are not important.
not
It is important to stand firm on the word of God and not be shaken and look to the Lord for salvation.
It's possible
Third, we must keep the church-centered faith.
The reason our faith is shaken is because we abandon the church or turn away from the church
We must live our faith centered on the church
Fourth, we must be filled with the Holy Spirit and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit
I may fall at some point, but if I receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit and receive power, I can keep my faith
Hell is a scary place, even the devil is afraid
don't go to hell
Don't let me go to hell, let's not let our family go to hell, let's keep our friends, brothers and neighbors from going to hell too.
The secret is to make me believe in Jesus and make others believe in Jesus too. Don't go to hell.
