Going to Hell
The Apostle John quotes Jesus as praying,
“Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” John 17:3.
There are many people within our churches calling themselves Christians who will end up in Hell. Men and women who have read the Bible over and over. Who have memorized many portions of scripture yet are destined for an eternity apart from God. This includes not only people sitting in the pews but Christian teachers pastors, evangelist, even Popes.
They will end up separated from God because they do not know Him. They know all about God but they do not know Him.
Some have diluted the truths found in the Bible. Some have deliberately twisted the word scriptures for their own purposes. Some have even mixed their faith with politics. Still others have chose to simply listen to what others have to say about the Bible and believe them without question, rather than study for themselves.
The Apostle Paul wrote,
“For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.” 2Timothy 4:3,4.
There is no doubt in my mind that there is a lot of false teaching in churches all around the world. There was even in the days of the apostles.
Thus if you call yourself a Christian, a true believer in Christ Jesus, then you need to truly know God. You need to study the Bible and learn all you can about God. So much so that you truly come to know Him. The verse I quoted at the top of this article says it all. Jesus praying to God said,
“Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” John 17:3.
Eternal life is knowing God on a personal level. Do you?
Please think about it.
