Pastor's Pen
A Triple Warning!!!
02/07/2010
The loving Lord Jesus was a hellfire and brimstone preacher. He spoke more on the subject of eternal punishment than He did on heavenly rewards.
And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Mark 9:43–48
To avoid hell entails drastic means. Cut off the hand (verse 43), cut off the foot (vers 45), and pluck out the eye (verse 47). To the unregenerate mind this seems barbaric and ridiculous, but this is exactly the point; for a sinner to be confronted with the gospel, refuse to repent and go to hell is ridiculous. Obviously it is not the hand, foot, and eye that will send a man to hell, but if it were...then one would be much better off enduring amputation and go to heaven. It is the depraved heart of a man which directs his hand, foot, and evil eye that condemns the sinner. Once the will is subdued by the grace of God and the heart is renewed by the Holy Ghost, the hands, feet, and eyes will no longer be at war with Jehovah God. “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” II Corinthians 5:17
Three times the Saviour warned of a terrible place which has unquenchable fire and never dying worms. THREE TIMES!!! With Divine emphasis the Judge of all men warns of inevitable damnation if the great salvation is neglected (Hebrew 2:3). Imagine a dark place where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth (Luke 13:28) and the consuming fire never totally consumes or extinguishes. A man once laughed at a preacher who was conversing about the subject of hell: “yeah, but what if you don’t have any teeth, how could you gnash your teeth?? ---ha, ha, ha…” The preacher looked upon him with stern confidence and said “in hell, teeth will be provided!”
Oh listen, my dear lost friend, hell is no laughing matter. Three times Jesus said “…it is better to have one hand, one foot, and one eye than to go to hell!” Forever in the cursed chambers of the underworld your blackened soul will scream from unquenchable fire and from a conscience that will gnaw on you with fiendish regret. Forever and ever my friend!!
No hope in hell. Over the corridor that leads downward to the abyss is a wretched sentence; “Beyond this point abandon all hope”. (Dante’s Infernal)
Repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ who was crucified for sinners, buried for seventy-two hours, and resurrected bodily. Listen to what Jesus said: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on Him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come unto condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” John 5:24
Before the cock crow twice some of you will deny thrice, but it will be your eternal ruin. You have been warned. In fact, many of you have been warned three dozen times. Ask yourself this question: “How hot will my hell be if I continue to spurn a loving and patient God!!??”
