Hell Is Real

Embracing the Reality of Eternal Consequences.

November 13th, 2024 • Estimated Reading Time: 3 minutes

In our daily lives, it's easy to become preoccupied with immediate concerns, often neglecting the profound truths of eternity. One such truth is the reality of hell a topic that, though uncomfortable, is essential to our faith and understanding of God's justice.

Jesus's Teachings on Hell

Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, spoke more about hell than anyone else in Scripture. He described it as a place of "outer darkness" (Matthew 8:12), a "fiery furnace" (Matthew 13:42), and a realm where both body and soul can be destroyed (Matthew 10:28). These vivid descriptions serve as solemn reminders of the seriousness of sin and the consequences of rejecting God's grace.

The Urgency of the Gospel

Understanding the reality of hell should ignite a sense of urgency within us to share the gospel. The Apostle Paul expressed deep sorrow for those who were lost, stating, "I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart" (Romans 9:2). This compassion drove him to tirelessly proclaim the message of salvation. Similarly, we are called to reach out to those around us, sharing the hope found in Christ.

Reflecting on Our Beliefs

It's crucial to examine whether our lives reflect a true belief in the existence of hell. Do we prioritize sharing the gospel with others? Are we willing to step out of our comfort zones to discuss matters of eternal significance? Our actions often reveal the depth of our convictions.

The Sacrifice of Christ

The reality of hell also magnifies the incredible sacrifice Jesus made for us. He endured the full weight of God's wrath, a punishment we deserved, so that we might have eternal life. This profound act of love should compel us to live in gratitude and obedience, continually sharing His message of redemption.

Living in Light of Eternity

Acknowledging the reality of hell should transform our daily lives. It should lead us to:

• Pray for the Lost: Regularly intercede for those who do not know Christ, asking God to soften their hearts and open their eyes to the truth.

• Share the Gospel Boldly: Take every opportunity to discuss your faith, trusting the Holy Spirit to guide your words and actions.

• Live Holy Lives: Strive to live in a manner worthy of the calling we've received, reflecting Christ's love and holiness in all we do.

In conclusion, the reality of hell is a sobering truth that should influence our thoughts, actions, and priorities. Let us embrace this truth, allowing it to deepen our faith and drive us to share the life-saving message of Jesus Christ with a world in desperate need.

The establishment media initially cast this as a case of violence among soccer hooligans. The New York Times’ headline was “Violence Tied to Soccer Game Prompts Dozens of Arrests in Amsterdam.” But it was something much worse than that. After being called out for the inaccurate and misleading nature of its coverage, the Times changed its headline to “Israeli Soccer Fans Injured in Attacks Linked to Antisemitism in Amsterdam.” That was better, but it still didn’t capture the full horror of the incident, which got so bad that Israel sent rescue planes for Israeli citizens in Amsterdam. Dutch politician Geert Wilders had a more accurate assessment: “A pogrom in the streets of #Amsterdam,” Wilders said. “We have become the Gaza of Europe.” The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement, “The harsh pictures of the assault on our citizens in Amsterdam will not be overlooked. Prime Minister Netanyahu views the horrifying incident with utmost gravity and demands that the Dutch government and security forces take vigorous and swift action against the rioters, and ensure the safety of our citizens.” That was going to be a tall order, as the attackers were Muslim migrants whom the Dutch government, like governments all over Europe, have welcomed in large numbers in recent years. A must-see clip you don’t want to miss! Click below and share! Even with JNS’ editing job, however, it was clear who the attackers were. Geert Wilders noted that they were “Muslims with Palestinian flags hunting down Jews.” The New York Post reported that “Israeli soccer fans were ambushed and brutally assaulted in Amsterdam overnight Thursday by gangs of anti-Israel thugs shouting ‘Free Palestine.’” The Post added that video showed “one assailant who screamed ‘Free Palestine’ as a victim cowered in fear.” The video exists because, as the Israeli Embassy to the United States pointed out, “The mob who targeted these innocent Israelis has proudly shared their violent acts on social media,” which jihadis the world over have done in the recent past. “More disturbing video,” says the Post, “shows a victim surrounded by several people, including one that appears to be holding a Palestinian flag, as a preparator [sic] kicked him to the ground. A separate assault shows a victim lying on the ground as he is kicked repeatedly. A car also barreled into a victim, causing the man to flip over the hood of the vehicle.” The embassy said that “the days of chasing Jews down European city streets should remain in the dark annals of history,” but obviously those days are here again. JNS reported that “the Israeli National Security Council stated in Hebrew that Israelis in Amsterdam should remain in their hotel rooms and avoid the street, refrain from wearing visible Jewish or Israeli symbols and notify Dutch police and the Israeli mission about any threat or attack. The council also advised Israelis to return to home, with more planes expected.” Canadian politician Melissa Lantsman wrote: “The scenes from the streets of Amsterdam tonight are absolutely horrific. This is what ‘globalize the intifada’ looks like.” Yes. Dutch authorities welcomed these migrants without giving a moment’s thought to what the implications of doing so might be for the cohesion and peace of their own society. Although hardly anyone is aware that it even exists and few among those wish to discuss it, Islamic antisemitism is deeply rooted in the Qur’an, which designates the Jews as the worst enemies of the Muslims (5:82), says that they are under the curse of Allah (2:88-9; 9:30), states that Allah transformed them into apes and pigs for their disobedience (2:63-6; 5:59-60; 7:166); and calls upon Muslims to make war against and subjugate them (9:29). Obviously not all Muslims read the Qur’an and act exactly as it directs, any more than all Christians do with the Bible. Some do, however, and no government in Europe or North America has ever pondered the question of what it might mean for their countries to bring in large numbers of people who believe this way. Not only is this Jew-hatred in the Qur’an, but as The History of Jihad demonstrates, Muslim countries have behaved with singular hostility to Jews, contrary to the fond wishful thinking and mythmaking of modern-day multiculturalist professors, throughout the history of Islam. Yet most Westerners, in the Netherlands and elsewhere, have been convinced by this point that any critical word about the Qur’an or Islam in general is “Islamophobic” and evidence of some irrational prejudice. Many Europeans and Americans pride themselves on rejecting such “bigotry” despite having never cracked open a Qur’an or learning even the basics of Islamic theology. This uninformed naivete is endangering people, as the events in Amsterdam show yet again. Because this willful ignorance is near ubiquitous, however, what just happened in Amsterdam will be repeated all over the West many, many times in the months and years to come.
