The Pathway to Hell

Have you ever lost your way, or rather, got lost in the way? You started off with confidence that you knew how to get to the place you desired to go, but somehow, you missed a turn or took a wrong turn.

Do you feel lost in life? Do you ask yourself who am I? What am I here for and where am I heading?

In fact all of us have been lost and have strayed from the path of life. The whole world lies under the sway of the Devil- the wicked one. Wickedness is the pathway to hell. Loving God and loving people in a Godly manner is righteousness that leads to heaven.

Right here and now you are at the crossroad. Hope is given to you as you encounter the cross of CHRIST. JESUS, through His suffering and death, has paid for your transport to the path of life, however far you may have deviated. Be saved today from eternal punishment in hell by accepting and following the LORD JESUS who is the living GOD.

1 John 5:19-20 (NKJV)
19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.
20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.


Let us continually turn away from the broad streets and by-roads named fornication, filthiness, adultery, covetousness, hatred, lying, foolish talking, coarse-jesting, murder etc.

Sin is like a seductress

Proverbs 7:21-27 (NKJV)
21 With her enticing speech she caused him to yield, With her flattering lips she seduced him.
22 Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, Or as a fool to the correction of the stocks,
23 Till an arrow struck his liver. As a bird hastens to the snare, He did not know it would cost his life.
24 Now therefore, listen to me, my children; Pay attention to the words of my mouth:
25 Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways, Do not stray into her paths;
26 For she has cast down many wounded, And all who were slain by her were strong men.
27 Her house is the way to hell, Descending to the chambers of death.


Let us control ourselves and not miss the right turns into the narrow streets named selflessness, humility, fear of God and love. Let us whole heartedly take the by-road called 'service' to feed, clothe, and shelter the poor. Let us not forget to turn into Hospital Road to visit the sick and go downhill to Prison Street to visit those in captivity. Let us joyously travel on the highway of holiness with thanksgiving and praises to our LORD JESUS CHRIST.

As we bow low to worship Him and wait on Him, we will be relieved of every burden and find ourselves soaring high, as on eagle's wings. This is the way to heaven.

Ephesians 5:1-2 (NKJV)
1 Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.
2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.


Isaiah 35:8-10 (NKJV)
8 A highway shall be there, and a road, And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, But it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, Shall not go astray.
9 No lion shall be there, Nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it; It shall not be found there. But the redeemed shall walk there,
10 And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, And come to Zion with singing, With everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, And sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
