INTRODUCTION:

WHERE WILL YOUR SOUL SPEND ETERNITY? If ‘you’ die today, do you know where ‘your’ immortal (deathless, undying) soul will spend Eternity? This will certainly be the most important question when we die, because everything else will be left behind.

Will you spend your Eternity in Heaven or Hell?

ETERNITY: infinity; time without end; everlasting life; forever, endless; never-ending; continuous; undying; permanent; timelessness. In theology, Eternity means endless life after death; immortal souls destined for Eternity.

Will your soul spend Eternity rejoicing in your mansion in Heaven? The city and streets of Heaven are made of pure gold, and there are many riches; there is abundance in Heaven.

/or,

Will your soul be sentenced to eternal torment in Hell? - A lake of fire and brimstone. If you choose to believe, or not to believe in Heaven or Hell, that will not stop you from going there.

SOUL: the divine or immortal part of the human body; the actual vehicle by which people are resurrected.

RESURRECTION: A living being coming back to life after death.

Resurrection will happen when the end comes. Then God will judge us, and our Eternity will be either Heaven, or Hell?

God loves us all, and does not desire anyone to go to hell, the reason The Gospel of Jesus Christ was written.

FIRST RESURRECTION: The raising of ‘believers’ in Christ to Heaven.

RESURRECTION: The raising of ‘unbelievers’ in Christ to Hell.

CHOICES: God is the One who judges us, and our eternal destination depends on the choice we make, good or evil, while there is life in the body. Our Eternity depends on whether we accept, or reject the Gospel.

UNSAVED: A person who is not forgiven by God, due to guilt, nor set free from condemnation to eternal punishment in hell.

After the body of an unsaved person dies, it remains in the grave until the 'second resurrection.' The punishment is the second death, which the Bible describes as the lake of fire, or Hell.

MONEY, EDUCATION, POWER, FAME OR GOOD LOOKS CANNOT SAVE ANYONE FROM HELL!

FIRST DEATH: The first death is when the body of a person dies.

SECOND DEATH: The second death is the punishment for the unbelievers, the unforgiving people - the unsaved, after their first natural, physical death.

And the devil, who had deceived them, was thrown into the fiery lake of burning sulfur, joining the beast and the false prophet. There they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever. (Revelation 20:10 NLT).

Please note all quotations are from the Bible, of which, different versions are used - to make the explanations more understandable.

Do not be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matthew 10:28 NLT).

For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard. (Romans 3:23 NLT).

SIN: Wrong doings or wicked thoughts which miss the mark, /or fall short of God's righteous standards.

How can we be forgiven of our sins? How can a sinner (wrongdoer) escape from going to Hell, and surely go to Heaven? How can we change our Eternity from Hell to Heaven? The answers are in this book – It's the Gospel. The best is yet to come! The Word of God is true...

The entirety of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever.

Psalms 119:160 NKJV.

CREATION:

First God created the world and everything in it, including all living creatures and plants. God gave mankind dominion - To rule over every living organism that He created. (Genesis 1:26).

Then God created mankind in His image and likeness (Genesis 1:27) starting with the first man Adam (Genesis 2:7); followed by Adam’s wife, Eve. (Genesis 2:22).

God told Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply - to have children. (Genesis 1:28).

Adam and Eve lived in The Garden of Eden, in which the plants produced an abundance of food, and mankind did not have to work for their subsistence. The world was good and without sin at that time. There was no death, and mankind could have lived forever. God instructed Adam and Eve what to eat, and what they should not eat.

And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die. (Genesis 2:16-17 NKJV).

However, Adam and Eve disobeyed God's command, which brought sin (wrongdoing, evil) into the world. As such, God pronounced death upon mankind, and they had to work for their food. (Genesis 3:19).

THE GREAT FLOOD:

As the family of Adam and Eve multiplied, their generations continued to disobey God. Sins and wickedness multiplied in the world, which stirred up God's anger, and He brought an end to all inhabitants by a flood, which completely covered the Earth for forty days.

The earth was ruined in the sight of God; the earth was filled with violence. So God said to Noah, I have decided that all living creatures must die, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. Now I am about to destroy them and the earth." (Genesis 6:11, 13 NET).

Noah's family was the only righteous family who were obedient to God at that time, more than 4,000 years ago.

God instructed Noah, who obeyed and built a large boat called the Ark, on dry ground. Noah had warned the people of the upcoming flood, but they laughed and mocked at him and his family. When the rain started, the Ark was closed. The people outside were stricken and could not believe it, but it was too late. No one else could enter the Ark. The water rose and covered the earth and the inhabitants. Everyone drowned except Noah, his wife, his three sons and three daughters-in-law; and a pair of all the living creatures, male and female, which were in the Ark.

Noah's family multiplied, but sin multiplied all over again as happening in the world today. As such, the world is so full of sin now. Some people mock and laugh at Christians; evil people also persecute them. God is good, not evil. For most people, seeking wealth and prosperity is their primary concern, and they have no time for God. Many people engage in sinful pleasures although they are warned.

The penalty for sin is death; sins, such as murder, adultery, fornication, stealing, lying, false witness, idol worshiping; those who disrespect their parents; worship other gods; not observing the Sabbath – the Lord’s Day of prayer and rest; those who curse the name of God; and covetousness. In fact, any sin that your heart or conscience tells you be wrong, or bad.

BIBLE PROPHESIES BEING FULFILLED:

The Bible predicts the 'End' will happen again. All the signs of the ‘End Times’ prophesied are now coming to pass:

Remember that there will be difficult times in the last days. People will be selfish, greedy, boastful, and conceited; they will be insulting, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, and irreligious; they will be unkind, merciless, slanderers, violent, and fierce; they will hate the good; they will be treacherous, reckless, and swollen with pride; they will love pleasure rather than God; they will hold to the outward form of our religion, but reject its real power. Keep away from such people. (2 Timothy 3:1-5 GNB).

Now godliness combined with contentment brings great profit. For we have brought nothing into this world and so we cannot take a single thing out either. But if we have food and shelter, we will be satisfied with that. Those who long to be rich, however, stumble into temptation and a trap and many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. (1 Timothy 6:6-9 NET).

While evil people and impostors will flourish. They will deceive others and will themselves be deceived. (2 Timothy 3:13 NLT).

Then he said to them, Nation will rise up in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, and famines and plagues in various places, and there will be terrifying sights and great signs from heaven."

You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will have some of you put to death. You will be hated by everyone because of my name. Yet not a hair of your head will perish. By your endurance you will gain your lives. (Luke 21:10-11, 16-19 NET).

There will be signs (attesting miracles) in the sun and moon and stars; and on the earth [there will be] distress and anguish among nations, in perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea and the waves, people fainting from fear and expectation of the [dreadful] things coming on the world; for the [very] powers of the heavens will be shaken." (Luke 21:25-26 AMP).

When people say, Everything is quiet and safe, then suddenly destruction will hit them! It will come as suddenly as the pains that come upon a woman in labor, and people will not escape. (1 Thessalonians 5:3 GNB).

When the end of the world comes, God will judge everyone, and our Eternity will be either Heaven, or Hell.

Every one of us, then, will have to give an account of ourselves to God. (Romans 14:12 GNB).

Because everyone has broken God's laws, we all deserve Hell. However, God has provided a way for mankind to be saved from Hell (the place of punishment and torment.) There is only one way by which one can be saved.

SAVED: Those who are
