The Bible is very clear on the teaching of hell. Revelation 20:15 says, "Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire." Our name is either in the book of life, or it is not. Non one gains automatic entry into God's book of life. Our nationality or heritage has little to do with our destiny. It determines where we were born, but we determine where we will go. We cannot assume we will go to heaven because we come from a Christian family. These are not the requirements for going to heaven and escaping the second death, which is God's wrath in the form of hell. There is one way: trusting in JEsus Christ. Don Fortner writes,"I must wwarn you who are yet without Christ, if you will not trust Christ you must be forever damned! Soon, you shall be 'cast into the lake of fire!" All who are found guilty of sin in that great and terrible day of God's wrath and judgment shall ber cast into the lake of fire. There you shall be made to suffer the unmitigated wrath of almighty God forever!"
This is not a very nice message, but it is a good remindar: the consequences of rejecting Christ are very sever. This hold true for us, our friends, our families, and anyone else we know. We should not take the message of God's wrath lightly.
