The Hell of Hell

Have you ever heard someone say, "If I end up in Hell at least I'll be there with all my friends having a party"? I was one of those many years ago!

The things that seem to dominate the thoughts of many are freedom, friends, and fun. Freedom to do whatever you want, with whoever you want, however you want, whenever you want. No worries about tomorrow just live for the day. Some call it the ME SYNDROME. If you want to know if someone has this condition just oppose their ideas, tell them that they could be wrong or simply question their motives. This will often cause a rage within them that manifests itself in a variety of ways such as profane language, slander, hate speech and even threats of physical violence.
The Bible shows us that selfish pride leads to destruction (Hell).

So, what is Hell REALLY like anyway?
Will Hell really be a non-stop party only without the benefit of air conditioning?

Let's look at the benefits of Hell for a moment.

Yes, many of your friends may be in Hell but if you end up there with them you will not be experiencing pleasant company with them, you will perceive you are alone.

Yes, Hell will be forever but in utter darkness, terrible anguish, and constant torment.

Yes, Hell will be fun if you like grinding your teeth in horrible non-stop pain.

It also seems that this party will be complete with it's own pool (a lake of fire).

What is absent in Hell?

Ecclesiastes 9:10 NASB
[10] Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might; for there is no activity or planning or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol where you are going.

I remember when I was younger bragging about going to Hell until I really understood what it was like and what it's purpose was. I was foolish to believe the lie for so long.

A correct understanding of Hell is what makes God's grace so amazing.
