Is Hell Real? Part 2 If someone doesn’t believe in hell, then they must also believe there is no heaven, because Jesus said in the same verse that just as one exists and is eternal, so is the other (Matt. 25:46). Moses, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Job, David, Solomon, Amos, Malachi, Jesus, Peter, Paul, James, Jude, and…
We hear from many people who are confused about the use of the word “grave” in the King James Version of the Bible. They state that the word “grave” never refers to hell or Hades. What they do not realize is that there are two prominent words in the Hebrew for the word “grave.” One…
Will Everyone Go To Heaven? There are many people today embracing the false doctrine of universalism. The definition of universalism by Dr. J. I. Packer in the book, Hell Under Fire, is this: “A universalist is someone who believes that every human being whom God has created or will create will finally come to enjoy…
Why Did God Make Hell? When God made the earth and the entire universe, He had not yet prepared hell. Hell was prepared or “made ready” for Satan after he had sinned and was cast out of heaven. Hell was not “created,” it was “prepared” as Matt. 25:41 states. In the six days of Creation…

Paul said in Acts 20:27, “I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.” Today, many like to emphasize the love, grace and mercy of Jesus, and that should be preached and praised because God is love and His love is abundant and overwhelming! However, it’s not mentioned often of His…
Recently, I had an opportunity to share my faith with the person seated next to me on a flight. This happens all the time because I am frequently on planes traveling somewhere to speak. When someone sits down next to me, I know it’s an opportunity. Even though my wife and I are usually very…
What does it mean to obtain rewards in heaven? Sometimes when you mention rewards, people shy away from the topic and think, “I’ll just be happy to get to heaven.” And grateful we will be! But the Bible teaches us how we can obtain rewards, so we should have a better overall eternal perspective, and…
As Christians, no matter what we face in life, we will have to exercise faith. Faith is one of the most important topics in the entire Bible for these reasons: Jesus will be looking for faith (Luke 18:8). We walk by faith (2 Cor. 5:7). We live by faith (Gal. 3:11). We are saved through…
