-DO GOOD PEOPLE GO TO HELL?

'For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who
believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.'
--Romans 1:16 -

-At one point or another, most Christians are confronted with the question, “What about all those people who’ve never heard the Gospel? What about the good man in the middle of Africa who never meets a Christian? Will that person go to hell?”

That’s a hard question. And while there are many things we don’t know, there are other things we do know about God. First, we know that God is a fair and just judge (Genesis 18:25). So I firmly believe that God will never hold an innocent person responsible for sins that he or she didn’t commit.

But at the same time, the Bible also teaches that as far as eternal judgment is concerned, all are guilty. "There is no one righteous… not even one person" (Romans 3:10). So the hypothetical “good” man who doesn’t hear about Jesus is just that… hypothetical!

It’s clear from the Scriptures that all are under the same indictment of sin and all deserve eternal death. That includes you and me. But through faith in the death and resurrection of Christ, anyone can escape death and receive grace. God has called you to take the Gospel to those who’ve never heard so that many can be saved. Let’s get busy!

-EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR THE GOSPEL. SO GET ACTIVE IN THE WORK OF TAKING THE MESSAGE OF CHRIST TO THE WORLD.

[The Supremacy of Christ: {Colossians 1:15-20 NIV)
-"He (Jesus), is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all Creation. For by Him all things were created: things in Heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. And He is the head of the body, the Church; He is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything He might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in Heaven, by making peace through His blood, shed on the Cross. " ~~]
--Romans 10:9-11 / "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in Him will never be put to shame." ~~

--How Can I Not Go To Hell? =[How to be sure of Heaven? There are only two choices.]

-Question: "How can I not go to Hell?"

Answer:
-- Not going to Hell is easier than you think. Some people believe they have to obey the Ten Commandments for their entire lives to not go to Hell. Some people believe they must observe certain rites and rituals in order to not go to Hell. Some people believe there is no way we can know for sure whether or not we will go to Hell. None of these views are correct. The Bible is very clear on how a person can avoid going to Hell after death.

The Bible describes Hell as a terrifying and horrible place. Hell is described as “eternal fire” (Matthew 25:41), “unquenchable fire” (Matthew 3:12), “shame and everlasting contempt” (Daniel 12:2), a place where “the fire is not quenched” (Mark 9:44-49), and “everlasting destruction” (2 Thessalonians 1:9). Revelation 20:10 describes Hell as a “lake of burning sulfur” where the wicked are “tormented day and night forever and ever.” Obviously, Hell is a place we should avoid.

Why does Hell even exist, and why does God send some people there? The Bible tells us that God “prepared” Hell for the devil and the fallen angels after they rebelled against Him (Matthew 25:41). Those who refuse God’s offer of forgiveness will suffer the same eternal destiny of the devil and the fallen angels. Why is Hell necessary? All sin is ultimately against God (Psalm 51:4), and since God is an infinite and eternal being, only an infinite and eternal penalty is sufficient. Hell is the place where God’s holy and righteous demands of justice are carried out. Hell is where God condemns sin and all those who reject Him. The Bible makes it clear that we have all sinned (Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:10-23), so, as a result, we all deserve to go to Hell.

So, how can we not go to Hell? Since only an infinite and eternal penalty is sufficient, an infinite and eternal price must be paid. God became a human being in the Person of Jesus Christ (John 1:1, 14). In Jesus Christ, God lived among us, taught us, and healed us—but those things were not His ultimate mission. God became a human being so that He could die for us. Jesus, God in human form, died on the Cross. As God, His death was infinite and eternal in value, paying the full price for sin (1 John 2:2). God invites us to receive Jesus Christ as Savior, accepting His death as the full and just payment for our sins. God promises that anyone who believes in Jesus (John 3:16), trusting Him alone as the Savior (John 14:6), will be saved, i.e., not go to Hell.

God does not want anyone to go to Hell (2 Peter 3:9). That is why God made the ultimate, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice on our behalf. If you want to not go to Hell, receive Jesus as your Savior. It is as simple as that. Tell God that you recognize that you are a sinner and that you deserve to go to Hell. Declare to God that you are trusting in Jesus Christ as your Savior. Thank God for providing for your salvation and deliverance from Hell. Simple faith, trusting in Jesus Christ as the Savior, is how you can avoid going to Hell!
