Hell On Earth Is Nothing Like Hell Itself
“[The Father] has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, In Whom we have our redemption through His blood, [which means] the forgiveness of our sins.” We have been delivered and drawn to God, out of the control and dominion of darkness into the kingdom of His Son, Jesus. We now have redemption, and the forgiveness of sins. This reality must be experienced, not just head knowledge. In other words, there must be an invoking of your will to act on the finished work at calvary. Since God won’t force His way on us, we must exercise the free will He created us with to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior of our lives, (scary oversight if not acted upon). Only then will you be accepted into the family and Kingdom of God’s Son. The other option is hot and torturous damnation forever for your unforgiven sins. Jesus is the way the truth and the life, no man or woman gets to heaven without Him. He was the sacrifice for everyone’s sin, but if you don’t act on what Jesus did on the cross, there’s no other way to get to heaven. Jesus, while in hell, destroyed the works of darkness, but we can only reap the benefits by accepting and realizing Jesus is the Savior of the world. Hell on earth is nothing like hell itself. You don’t belong there after you die, fix it now!
