Summary: what it takes to make it to hell

ARE YOU CLIMBING YOUR

WAY INTO HELL?

2nd Peter 3:1-10

As we can easily see from our reading

tonight, God doesn’t want anyone to

end up in that terrible place called hell!!!

God don’t want us to go through this life

without Jesus Christ.

This place called hell wasn’t made for

You Nor I.

It was made for satan and his fallen angels.

God is such a great, and wonderful, and loving,

Heavenly Father.

This wonderful place called heaven, has been

prepared for all of us, who’ll put our faith,

in his precious Son Jesus Christ!!!

Tonight God wants each and everyone of us

to be saved.

He’s knocking at your hearts door, and He’s

pleading with you, to come to him and allow

all your sins to be washed away by Jesus’

Blood!!!!

The Bible tells us in John 6:44:

No man can come to me except the Father

which hath sent me, draw Him and I will

raise him up at the last day!!!

There’s good news and bad news in tonight’s

message!!

The good news is, The Bible tells us very

clearly that there is definitely a place called

Heaven!!

And the Bad news is: The Bible also tells us

that there is a place called hell.

But there’s more good news,

Nobody has to go to hell.

The Bibles lets us know that its all good

news for us, God tells us that He wants

us to go to heaven!!!

But we do have a choice and I pray

tonight that You make the right choice

before its everlasting to late!!!!

Tonight we’re looking at what the Bible says

about Heaven and hell.

This subject has been so mus-understood

and in this modern world we live in the worse

thing I’ve seen from most people is nothing

but, pure ole un-belief!!!!

Even though the Bible makes it so clear that

Both places Heaven and hell exist

so many just can’t except the fact its real.

Today whether people realize it or not

they are headed for a destination.

And so many won’t acknowledge it!!!

Its like a story I heard

a person got into a taxi and told the driver

to Hurry, ’m late, please drive fast.

Then in a few minutes the man realized

that the driver was going in the wrong

direction.

The man said: river do you know where

you’re going, and the driver said No I don’t

But I’m driving really fast!!!!

This is such a great comparison of many

people today in our world.

Life is in the fast lane.

So full of everything to do,

and everywhere to go.

But so many have no direction in their life.

We need to slow down and think of

the two destinations we are headed for. AMEN

If you think about it tonight, its so foolish

for anyone to reject Jesus Christ and pay

that terrible penalty of sin in a place

of everlasting death

There’s every reason in this world why you’

should be a Christian.

Just look around at everything that can

happen to you.

Asia just got hit by a terrible earthquake

and a tidal wave.

And California has been hit with the floods

and many earthquakes and the list goes

on and on.

This world can’t do anything for you

that’ permanent .

Just try to look into the future and you see

what reward this world has to offer you.

Do you know anybody that lives here

on Earth that has lived forever???

People the reward of the just tonight is

just as real as the punishment of the un-just.

And both are for eternity or everlasting

So don’t that tell us that there’s every reason

for us to be borned again???

It seems today that there’s so many people

that are just determined to go to hell

How can we worry about making a few

dollars here in this life, but let Jesus Christ

pass us by and we never worry about what,

Mark 8:36 tells us:

For what shall it profit a man, if he

shall gain the whole world, and lose

His Own Soul?

There’s so many Husbands and wive’s today

that will sit down and work out their

family problems.

And they’ll see to it that their families

are receiving the most happiness in this life.

They’ll see to it that they have everything

that they need.

They’ll even see to it that they have what

they want, and not just what they need.

But they fail to give the attention to God

that is required for them to have

eternal happiness??

We are so eager to give our complete attention everywhere but, to God, But He still loves us

and wants to save our souls!!!

Many people don’t even realize just how

hard their working at getting to hell.

They’ll climb over the highest mountains.

God has put many obstacles in our pathway

to hell.

It’s certainly not easy to get there.

God actually makes it difficult to go to hell.

God has put the church in our path

A man has to climb over every sound

bible based church in our community

JUST LIKE THIS ONE!!!

These churches are there so men can go

and hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Each and every one of us are within reach

of doing our duty to be saved.

We are all within reach of a church where

Jesus Christ is preached and taught.

Luke 12:48 says:

Unto whomsoever much is given,

of him shall be much required

The people here in the United States have

been given much tonight

in spiritual instruction.

If you allow yourself to go to hell your

punishment will be greater because your

opportunities have been greater.

Now don’t get me wrong a church can’t save you,

But its there and full of the Gospel, and

that’s what will convict you and save you.

If you live and die and end up in hell

you’ll look back and say,

I climbed over every gospel preaching church

in my life to get here to hell!!!!!

Then lets not forget how many sermons

we’ve heard preached by God called preachers.

God calls them so that people can hear

the Gospel, and find their way to Jesus.

You can’t get into hell tonight without

denying the word of God you’ve heard

from me tonight!!!!!AMEN

Even Jesus preached the greatest sermons

ever in the world but men rejected His words

also!!!!

And because of their rejection, of the Word

of God, their wails,

and cry’s, are being heard as we speak,

from the depths of that terrible place

called hell!!!

The great sermons of John the Baptist, and

the Apostle’s, Paul, and Peter.

We find the warning of all their sermons’

Repent, Repent of your sins, and turn

to Jesus and salvation is yours.

They all preached repentance and Faith.

If you’re in the right kind of Church tonight,

You’re hearing that same kind of message.

But if you die without accepting Jesus tonight,

You can say I have climbed over every

sermon I ever heard to get to hell.

And you’ll never forget how many times you

seen the bible in a motel or in a doctors office

and you refused to pick it up and read it,

And how many times have I heard people

say, I CAN’T UNDERSTAND IT.

BALONEY!!!!!

If you read the bible you’ll see that you’ll

find Christ there and the opportunity of

everlasting life.

Now if you read it with a critical attitude,

and you want to contradict it then you’ll

get no blessing at all from it.

But if you’ll read it with an open mind

and with the prayer of wisdom and

understanding,

The Holy Spirit will shine

through every page and it’ll point you

to Jesus with every word!!!

Every man in the world has the opportunity

to own a Bible.

Churches, and Christians, and Bible society’s

will be so glad to give anyone a Bible at No

Cost.

We even give them away to everyone that

don’t have one.

If you’re a sinner tonight, You have no excuse.

And again if you die and go to hell,

you’ll look back and say I wish I wouldn’t

have been here if I hadn’t climbed over

that mountain of God’s word.

And there’s the Mountain of our Parents Love

and Prayers.

Many of us can remember how our parents

loved us and prayed for our salvation.

Maybe you’re still living today because

your mother prayed that prayer, that you

would accept Jesus before you died, and

The Lord is allowing you to still be here

because of it.

Still waiting on you to accept Him before its

to late!!!! PLEASE DON’T WAIT TO LONG!

You have to climb over the conviction power

of the Holy Spirit.

How many times have you gripped the back

of the pew in front of you, while your heart

thumped and thumped from the knocking

of the Holy Spirit at your hearts door.

And you refused???

Tonight God’s Holy Spirit stands between

you and that terrible place called hell.

God sent him here to this earth to convict

Us of our sins, and of righteousness,

and of Judgment!!!!

Why am I here tonight preaching God’s Word??

Because one night the Holy Spirit knocked at

my hearts door, and I opened and let Christ in.

And then on another occasion He knocked again

and called me to be a preacher of His Gospel.

I’m here today because of the work of

God’s Holy Spirit.

In One Hundred Years, Where will You Be???

In a Thousand Years, Where will You Be???

In a Million Years, Where will you Be???

It all depends on the answer that you will give

to Gods Holy Spirit.

Will you say YES to Him,

Will you open your Hearts door to Him???

All of your future happiness and all

of your hope for eternity, depends on

that answer, that you’ll give to the Holy Ghost,

But if you die and find yourself in hell,

you’ll remember how you denied and

climbed over that mountain of God’s

Holy Spirit to get there!!!!

Finally tonight you’ll have to climb

over that mountain called Mt. Calvary

To get into hell.

This is the Mountain where Jesus Christ

was Crucified

Christ stands between you and the door

to the pits of hell where there are no

exit doors!!!

NO EXIT SIGNS IN HELL!!!

Tonight He knocks at your hearts door!

Tonight He says Please open and let me in!!

Isaiah 1:18 says:

Come now, and let us reason together

though your sins be as scarlet, they

shall be as white as snow.

John 3:36 says:

He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life

and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life

But the wrath of God abideth on him

Matthew 11:28 says:

Come unto me all ye that labour and are

heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Tonight He Says in

John 6:37:

Him that cometh to me I will in no wise

cast out!!

Please don’t reject Him tonight People,

Please come to Him tonight!!

He offers everything good for this

world and the world to come!

When your life’s journey winds down

and death is near, You’ll be sorry for many

things.

But I promise you tonight you’ll never

be sorry that you gave your life and heart

to Jesus Christ.

The Bible says today is the day of salvation

Tonight you have everything to gain

and nothing to lose!!!

Jesus calls hell Gehenna, and fiery furnace

fiery lake, lake of burning sulfur, eternal fire

The Bible says:

There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

All the descriptions of hell that I’ve found

in the Bible are all bad.

And all the descriptions of Heaven that I’ve

found are nothing but Good!

Like inexpressible and glorious joy

a garden, a place of rest, a Kingdom,

a Heavenly Country,

A place with Many Mansions,

A place of Joy,

Streets of Gold, Walls of Jasper, Gates of Pearl,

Crowns of Gold.

And the good goes on and on and on!!!!

What’s Your Choice Tonight?????

Are You Climbing Your way into Hell????
