Jesus and Hell

Jesus said, "Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him" (Luke 12:4-5).

The Bible says God is a "consuming fire" and "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God" (Hebrews 10:29-31). That's why Jesus first disciples said, "knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men" (2 Corinthians 5:11). Yes, we are trying to persuade you. Can you see why? God is Holy and he has set aside a day when he will judge all people's with righteousness and truth. It will be God's day of justice. Which side of it will you be on?
