THE BIBLICAL DESCRIPTION OF HELL FIRE

 The plans of the wicked against you shall fail because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good- Life Devotional: THE BIBLICAL DESCRIPTION OF HELL FIRE

(Citing Scriptures from the Amplified Bible)

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   Hell fire is one of the most solemn and fearful realities revealed in the Word of God. Jesus Christ, more than any other person in Scripture, spoke about it to warn men and women of the eternal consequences of sin. In Matthew 5:22, He declared that those who persist in anger and hatred are “guilty enough to go into the hell fire,” showing that sin of the heart can lead to eternal loss.

    In Matthew 13:41–42, Jesus described hell as “a furnace of fire” where there will be “weeping and grinding of teeth.” This is not symbolic but a vivid expression of conscious suffering and regret. Again, in Mark 9:43–48, the Lord warned that it is better to lose a hand or an eye than to be “cast into hell, into the unquenchable fire… where their worm does not die.” The word unquenchable reveals that the flames of hell never go out.

    Matthew 25:41 shows that hell was originally “prepared for the devil and his angels,” but all who reject God’s mercy in Christ will share that fate. Revelation 20:14–15 further calls it “the lake of fire,” which is “the second death,” an irreversible separation from God’s presence.

   2 Thessalonians 1:8–9 adds that the wicked will “endure the punishment of everlasting destruction, banished from the presence of the Lord,” while Revelation 21:8 lists the fearful, unbelieving, and liars as those destined for “the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone.”

  The baby in the womb may not believe in the existence of the world outside the womb until delivered , so it is with Hell and heaven  until you die as an unbeliever .  Hell is real, but it was never God’s desire for man to perish. Through faith in Jesus Christ, anyone can escape the fire of eternal judgment and receive everlasting life. (John 3:16, Romans 6:23)

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and righteousness in our families.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to preach the gospel.
