We examine some of the verses, often quoting Jesus Himself, that teach us how awful this place is. * Who will be there.

Nevertheless it is clearly taught in the Scriptures and is an important truth for us to come to terms with. We consider three things: * What hell/the lake of fire is. We look at the terms used in the Old and New Testaments and what their meaning is. * What it&apos;s like. We examine some of the verses, often quoting Jesus Himself, that teach us how awful this place is. * Who will be there. Although all deserve a place in the lake of fire, only those who have not trusted in Christ as Savior will be there. We see why Christ is the only One Who can save from hell. We need to realize hell is real and to make sure we&apos;re not headed there ourselves. If we are, we need to wake up to that fact and run to Christ to save us. 2760 http://blip.tv/file/4141802 Religion hell judgment punishment gods wrath sin salvation gospel Mon, 20 Sep 2010 06:42:29 +0000 hell, judgment, punishment, gods wrath, sin, salvation, gospel http://a.images.blip.tv/Gracechurchmodesto-HeavenAndHellPart2100919am165-919.jpg hell, judgment, punishment, gods wrath, sin, salvation, gospel <iframe src="http://blip.tv/play/AYH9%2BVYC.html?p=1" width="480" height="390" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://a.blip.tv/api.swf#AYH9+VYC" style="display:none"></embed> Heaven and Hell, Part 2 - 100919am http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ A0A2B36A-BF03-11DF-AD62-B9A4F1B5599F http://blip.tv/grace-church-sermons/christian-sincerity-100912pm-4132677 gracechurchmodesto 618506 GraceChurchSermons grace-church-sermons Grace Church Sermons http://blip.tv/grace-church-sermons http://a.images.blip.tv/Gracechurchmodesto-picture916.jpg 4132677 4113827 file no 0.0 2010-09-13T06:53:34Z English 0 0 0 2551 AYH8nykC http://blip.tv/play/AYH8nykC http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post4132677&skin=rss Gracechurchmodesto-ChristianSincerity572-665.jpg We consider how to walk with God in sincerity - with an honest and true heart.
