Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

There is definitely a Heaven and a Hell! But, God gives us the choice of choosing where we will spend eternity. There are many warning signals that God gives us to keep us out of hell. The following are some of them:
- (1)Holy Word - The Bible is our roadmap to Heaven.
We need to use it frequently so we won't lose our way to heaven. God says, "
Deuteronomy 30:I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:" (Deut 30:19).
- (2)Church - There is one in every community, and, in some places, one on nearly every block! Churches are surely plentiful across the land, so there is no excuse that we aren't able to find one that satisfies are longing. Scripture says, "
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together,". (Hebrews 10:25) p>
- (3)Mother's prayers- Most of us can remember Mom praying for her children.
- (4)Blood of Jesus - This will definitely keep you out of hell! Men want to do their own thing; they don't want to hear about the blood of Jesus. But, scripture says it will make them 'white as snow'. (Isaiah 1:18)
- (5)Holy Spirit - God gives each of us the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit makes us conscious of wrong doings in our lives and gives us a chance to repent of our sins. HE will keep us out of Hell.
The wages of sin is death. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life". (John 14:6) And, if we will heed the Word, give our lives to Him, and keep His commandments, we will be assured of a place with God, far from the depths of hell.
NOTE: Johan McGregor ministered on Hell at a recent revival I attended. Check out The McGregors' Web Site.

| Heavenly Father, hell is a place none of us want to encounter. Help us to be conscious of our ways, that we will keep our eyes stayed on you, study your Word, and be obedient to your commands. We give you praise. In Jesus name, we pray. Amen. |
