This is a question that needs to be answered. Have you ever heard someone say,"I want to go to hell because all my friends will be there." They say it in jest, but can't possibly mean it. Hell isn't talked about much; it's too negative. It's not positive, but it's real. I have a saying "If the hereafter, isn't what your here after, what are you here after?" The problem, some are here after the wrong hereafter.
I believe that when a soul goes to hell, immediately he or she will be a believer, but too late. The word says every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess that Jesus is The Lord.
I want to go to the book of Luke chapter 16: 19-31. This is the account that Jesus gave of the rich man, and Lazarus. There was a rich man, and Lazarus (a beggar) was laid at his door every day, wanting crumbs from his table. Lazarus was also sick, the dogs licked his wounds. And it came to pass, that Lazarus died, "and was carried by the Angels into Abraham's bosom:" the rich man died, and was buried, (notice that he was not carried away by Angels). And in hell he(the rich man) lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeing Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his (Abraham's) bosom, cried and said, "Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to me with a drop of water on his finger to cool my lips!" Doesn't sound like a party to me. Who's the beggar now?
It's true God is loving, and kind, but he is also just. If you live by the law, you die by the law. If you accept Jesus, then you live by His Grace and Mercy. God didn't leave us hopeless; He sent Jesus, who died in our place. As negative as hell is, we can be saved by His Shed Blood. If this blog has spoken to you, there is a solution. That if you shall confess with your mouth The Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart man believes unto Righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto Salvation. Romans 10; 9-10 (KJV). A true step of Faith.
