Salvation Series: Hell

Bishop Bira Joshua Season 15 Episode 2

Reach out to us!

Fire, fear, and forever are heavy words—but we don’t use them to scare you. We use them because Jesus did. He spoke more about hell than anyone else in Scripture, not to condemn us, but to wake us up to the weight of our choices and the cost of ignoring them. 

Through it all runs a hopeful truth: no one has to be lost. With urgency and mercy, we talk about cutting off whatever leads us to sin and choosing the life God offers.

SPEAKER_05:

The world is passing away. Our clock is ticking. And for that reason, nothing is of more importance than eternal life. This is the moment of salvation.

SPEAKER_00:

Hi there. May the God of the Bible bless your life. Moment of salvation. Today we want to talk about a place. A place of torment? How many times we hear people say hell is here? How many times people say hell does not exist? Is hell real or a myth? Does it exist? How many times people say hell is here? Because they say my life is a living hell. My house is hell itself. How many people are in prison? I call Prison the lobby of hell. Because I know Prison has been a place of torment for so many people. A place of restrictions. A place of punishment. A place of solitude, loneliness, a place of pain. Where it is summer, it is very extremely hot over there. Where it's winter, it's extremely cold. How many people through there? They suffer a lot. They live a life of pain, misery, sickness, love. And they say my life is hell itself. But it is just a taste of what is hell. I want you to watch this video. It is not fiction. It's not something made up, but it's a Bible-based video. I mean, nobody has been to hell to come back to explain how hell looks like. In the same way, nobody has been to heaven and come back except Jesus and the demons know what heaven is all about. However, if we have this idea when we read the Bible about the rich man and Lazarus, when we read Jesus talking about this place, a place of torment.

SPEAKER_04:

Believe me, all of this here is real. I'm suffering a lot in this place. Here, the crying never stops, the screams never end, and the fire never goes out.

SPEAKER_06:

Three times. Three times in a row. The same warning. This is not exaggeration, nor empty repetition. Hell is real. Throughout the holy scriptures, the one who spoke most about it was not the prophets or the apostles, but the very Son of God. But why did he speak so much about hell? Because he sees the horror that we cannot see. Because only he knows the gravity of sin and the reality of what lies beyond this life. Because he does not want any of us to end up there. The only message Jesus repeated with the same words several times was about hell. In the Gospels, it is mentioned about twenty-six times in different expressions. Eternal fire. Outer darkness. A place of weeping and gnashing of teeth. Eternal punishment. Where the worm does not die. Where the fire never goes out. Try to imagine one year. Ten years, one hundred years, eternally. How terrible must this place be? For him to insist so much. But how can someone feel this torment? If the body was buried. The soul does not dissolve with the body. In death, it continues whole. And to those who go into the burning hell, it receives a body that feels a mystery even deeper revealed by the Lord Jesus when he spoke of the rich man in Lazarus. In hell, the rich man had eyes to lift. A tongue to cry out. Memories of everything. His body was in the tomb. But his soul felt as if it still had flesh to suffer. Countless warnings echoed. Each warning, a cry from the one who desires to save the soul from hell. He suffered what he suffered for this. To give you the right to choose the right destiny for your soul. You choose. Only you can. This is not alarmism or terrorism. This is the real sound of eternity. Calling for our attention.

SPEAKER_03:

Don't play with sin. Take the chance because I don't have it anymore.

SPEAKER_00:

I said it's a Bible-based video for you to have an idea, for us to have an idea, what hell looks like. There is no one in the Bible that spoke more about hell than Jesus. Because Jesus, he was there when he saw Lazarus and the rich man. Lazarus to Abraham's bosom and the rich man in hell, in the place of torment. And this is what is happening to the world. The world is burning. Every single day the world is burning. It has been becoming a place of torment, but this place is just a taste of what is going to happen. This I said, let us read. But he was saying that if something or someone causes you to sin, stop it. Cut it off. Get rid of it. It's better to lose it than to go to hell. You have two hands, and both of them will burn in hell. He said that the fire never quenches. Let us read right now. And the fire is not quenched. Somebody else. And maybe there comes the question: how can I escape from hell? There is only one way. Give your life to the Savior. To the only one that can save your soul. People fear death. They fear dead people, cemeteries. But death is not just the physical death. The worst one is called second death. That is the lake of fire. Right now, we are going to pray. You are going to surrender your soul to the Savior. And he died on the cross not just to heal you, to prosper you, to set you free from prison. He died on the cross above all to set you free from the place of torment. Right now is the moment for the prayer. Let us together to talk to God.

SPEAKER_05:

Prayer connects us with God and is essential in our journey of salvation. This is now the moment of prayer.

SPEAKER_00:

We have all it takes our time to every offering tithe that is given to the church. The church uses it to save sources. That feels so lost. And this person, because of the background, the past life, thinks I don't deserve salvation. This person feels that he's heading to hell every single day. And now he gave happy life. She feels like she's the worst woman. But when we read your word, we see that if the first one on the cross, you saved the robber. You saved Mary Magdalene, prostitute. You saved robbers, tax collectors. You came to save the lost soul. And I pray for this soul that is lost. Maybe. They have been to so many churches. They have been praying, asking, but they are not saved because they never gave their lives to you. This person was baptizing water once, twice, three times. And now he is in prison or in the hospital. Or just alone in this dark room, Father God, in this moment of salvation. I pray for his soul. Don't let this person be a trophy in hell. Don't let this soul like the rich man who was in torment to go to hell. Lord Jesus, bring back the backsliders, restore the souls of those who left you. This is what we pray for the salvation of their souls. Over there, you may raise your hands and surrender your soul to the Lord. Present your soul, say, Lord, have mercy on me, Esina. Forgive my sins and save my soul. Go ahead. Do it now. Receive salvation. Have your name written in the book of life. Because Jesus came to save, and he saves you from hell. In the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. Amen. Praise God.

SPEAKER_02:

What a glory he sheds on our way. While we do his good will, he abides with us still, and with all who will trust and obey, trust and obey, for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. Not a down nor fear. Not a tiny door of dear. Oh trust and obey, for there's no other way to be happy with beyond but to trust and obey. Or will walk by his side in the way. What he stands we will do. Where he stands we will go. Trust and obey. For there's no other way to be happy in Jesus. But to trust and obey. For there's no other way to be happy in Jesus. But to trust and obey.

SPEAKER_00:

SPEAKER_05:

Passing away, our clock is ticking, and for that reason, nothing is of more importance than eternal life. This is the moment of salvation.
