Hell And The Lake Of Fire

Did Jesus Christ die on a cruel cross just to give us a better life, to give us things, to make us rich, or was it a sin problem? The Holy Scripture leaves no question that sin will be judged and that the universe must be cleansed. If it was a sin problem, then it also was an eternal Hell problem and He took our place. He was made to be sin for us. “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” (2 Corinthians 5:21). There is no name under heaven that saves but Jesus Christ, because He endured sin’s darkness for us. Remember the eclipse of the sun and the earthquake while God in Christ was enduring the consequence of our sins. Our Savior said, “And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46). The word Hell is in the Bible fifty-five times. Jesus told about one man going to Hell and being tormented in fire, “And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments” (Luke 16:23a). We are trying to answer questions that are not being misrepresented in many pulpits. Can a person get forgiveness after they are dead? Is there a place in between the earth and Heaven or Hell where someone can make up for sins they never forsook in life? Does a Christian have to forsake sin to be saved?
