Four basic truths
At death, every person’s soul enters immediatelyand consciously into relational aspects of eternal existence.
One day, everyone will be resurrected and live forever.
Every person will be judgedand granted the “extended capacity” to fulfill in eternity the deepest yearnings and desires of their heart while on earth.
Every person will spend eternity in heaven with Christ and fellow believers, or in hell separated from God forever.
Why there must be a Hell:
Man’s dignity and freedom demands a Hell.
God’s holiness and justice demand a Hell.
Sin’s seriousnessdemands a Hell.
Evil’s defeat demands a Hell.

Will your eternal future be a blissful adventure or a horrible choice?
