Depending on which survey one reads, a significant portion of evangelical Christians do not believe in hell. Those beliefs are held in spite of the clear biblical references to eternal separation from God, especially by Jesus Himself.

Jesus’ parable of the sheep and the goats (Matthew 25:31-46) is set in the context of the final judgment associated with His Second Coming. The righteous sheep are ushered into the Kingdom of God while the unrighteous goats are consigned to “the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels.... And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life” (verses 41, 46). The words “everlasting fire” and “everlasting punishment,” taken at face value, support what John saw in his vision of eternal judgment: “The smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever” (Revelation 14:11).

Eternity awaits everyone. Make sure your destiny is eternal life through faith in Christ.

How many by the wind of popular breath have been blown to hell!
