We Believe ....
IN HEAVEN! We believe the wonders of the place God
has prepared for them that love Him are desireable
and blessed above natural human ability to even con
ceive. "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have
entered into the heart of man, the things which God
hath prepared for them that love him." Yet He has
put a foretaste of these things in the hearts of all who
are truly on their way to that place. "But. God hath
revealed them to us by his Spirit.""The Lord Jesus
spqe to His own, saying, "I go to prepare a place for
you." Sin has closed the door to heaven, but Jesus has
opened it by "bearing our sins in his own body" on
the Cross; arid all who have truly turned their hearts
away from sin to trust and obey Him are truly on their
way to that blessed place. "Jesus said, "I am the way!"
It is said that the old time preachers preached heaven
so you could smgll the flowers, and hell so you "could
smell the fumes. We believe the Bible! So, as we be
lieve In heaven, we also believe
IN HELL! The same Book from which we obtain our
information about heaven, about the blessed eternal
state of all who have who have been truly saved, tells
us of the ternal terrible state of those who have not
been saved. There is more said in the Bible about
hell than about heaven, more about eternal wrath
and judgment than about eternal bliss. This is so men
might make no mistake about the God of love being
also d God of wrath and iudament. "I will reoav.
saith the Lord." "In flaming fire take vengeance on
then that know not God, and that obey not
Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ." "These shall
away into everlastinq punishment." We should
o
say we believe the Bible about heaven unless we
are willing to believe it about hell. The consequence
of unforgiven sin is fearful indeed. Be sure yours are
forgiven.
