While we are on our journey in this earth, we come across many deceptive road signs that lead to hell. Naturally, you would be foolish to drive on any road that would take you to the edge of a dangerous precipice, even if it is scenic and adventurous. You would avoid an old and rickety bridge that runs across a rough, deep river.
'DANGER AHEAD ! DO NOT PROCEED !' -Would be the sign put out by a wise and well-meaning person at such places.
Proverbs 5:1-5 (NKJV)
1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom; Lend your ear to my understanding,
2 That you may preserve discretion, And your lips may keep knowledge.
3 For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil;
4 But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death, Her steps lay hold of hell.
Proverbs 9:13-18 (NKJV)
13 A foolish woman is clamorous; She is simple, and knows nothing.
14 For she sits at the door of her house, On a seat by the highest places of the city,
15 To call to those who pass by, Who go straight on their way:
16 "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here"; And as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,
17 "Stolen water is sweet, And bread eaten in secret is pleasant."
18 But he does not know that the dead are there, That her guests are in the depths of hell.
Just like a seductress wooing a young man, the devil diverts those who desire spiritual fulfillment. Any teaching that denies the reality of hell is a deception of the devil. Any worldly system or place that makes fun of hell is a manifestation of the work of the enemy. Anyone using the word 'hell' to give it the appearance that it is a harmless place, is giving a foothold for the enemy of our souls.
The crafty plan of the wicked one, the serpant of old, is not only to tell you lies about hell, but also to bring you into sinful ways that lead to hell.
Everyone born into this world walks the path of sin towards hell until he/she takes a turn towards God through Jesus Christ. This is the only path that leads to heaven. Heaven is a state of joyous bliss which cannot be compared to the delight of a delicious pizza when you are starving. Neither is hell like a succulent pizza that satisfies your hunger. Don't be decieved.
Beware! Hell is a real place of eternal torment. Turn into the path of life right now, before it is too late.
Proverbs 10:17 (NKJV)
17 He who keeps instruction is in the way of life, But he who refuses correction goes astray.
John 3:16 (NKJV)
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
