Over the past years I have heard many excuses from the lost as to why they cannot or will not become a Christian. They have heard sermons and Gospel calls to the point that it no longer affects them.
This tract is a strong call to the lost to be saved. In this tract we will explore the love of God and the reason why lost sinners need a Saviour. Then for those who are still not saved we will show from the Bible their complete destruction on earth and in hell. We will show that right now these people are enemies of God and are under His curse. Each day is a bonus to the lost hellbound sinners. It is hell these people deserve and God has planned their destruction. Right now the hellbound Christ rejecting sinner is living under the wrath of God. Rejecting the Lord Jesus is a serious crime. It says to God that you want nothing to do with salvation but plan to pay for your sins yourself in hell.
Finally, we will close with a description of hell, the lake of fire. This is the fate of the lost and we will give a good description of their deserving eternal home of torment.
THE LOVE OF GOD
We'll start by discussing the love of God. No tract warning the lost of their impending eternal doom should be without this topic.
God is a God of love. He has proved that great love by becoming a man, dying on the cross, and paying the penalty for sin. Because of God's great love for lost mankind, He bore the penalty for our sin on the cross. That penalty is literally, an eternity in hell. The Lord Jesus suffered and paid the full penalty for our sins. God does not want people to go to hell. In his great love, He has provided a way for a person to be saved. By dying on the cross God forever proved His great love for lost mankind. Here is what the Bible says:
Rom 5
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while
we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
The Lord Jesus died on the cross and paid the full penalty for sin for us. Sins must be paid for and now everyone must make a choice. Will I pay for my sins myself? The penalty is the wrath of God and an eternity in hell, the lake of fire. Or, will I accept the Lord Jesus as my Saviour and allow Him to pay the penalty for my sin? The choice of going to hell is up to the individual person. God sends no one to hell! People choose hell by rejecting the Lord Jesus and rejecting God's salvation.
But God is still a God of love even though lost men and women choose to reject Him. By rejecting the love of God people open themselves up to judgment and hell.
John 3
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Notice that there are only two types of people in the world. They are the saved (those who believe in the Lord Jesus) and the lost and perishing (those who reject the Lord Jesus).
That fact is also illustrated in this verse:
John 3
36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that
believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God
abideth on him.
SIN HAS A PENALTY
Understand this fact! Sin must be paid for. God will not excuse sin. It must be paid for. Here is what the Bible says:
Ezek 18
20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not
bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father
bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the
righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the
wicked shall be upon him.
If a person rejects God's love and salvation then they are choosing to pay for their sins themselves. The penalty is hell! The Lord Jesus paid the penalty for sin on the cross. By rejecting Him the lost person is choosing to pay for his sins himself. Your sin must be paid for. Either by the Lord Jesus or yourself!
The good news is that God and salvation is available right now! God loves lost men and women and He does not want people to perish! He wants people to come to the Lord Jesus and to receive the free love gift of salvation!
Matt 11
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek
and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
John 14
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is
that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my
Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that
thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love
me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and
we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
Lost men and women have a eternal choice to make. They can accept God's love gift of forgiveness and salvation. Or, they can refuse and choose to pay their sins themselves. God will honor whatever decision a person makes. In fact, a person chooses their eternity based on their acceptance or rejection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
John 3
36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and
he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the
wrath of God abideth on him.
For a person to ignore the issue of salvation is the same as a person who openly rejects. A person either accepts or rejects the Lord Jesus.
Here is the next point I wish to make:
THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO BE SAVED
The Lord Jesus is the only way a person can be saved. All other so-called paths lead to hell and death. God's salvation can only be found through the Lord Jesus. Here is what the Bible says
John 14
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the
life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Acts 4
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is
none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we
must be saved.
No one else can save but the Lord Jesus Christ. All other so-called plans of salvation lead to an eternity in hell. Nothing can cleanse and pay the penalty for sin but the blood of the Lord Jesus. Nothing else is acceptable to God. For those who trust in the Pope, priests, gods, avatars, Mohammed, or any other false teacher, they are doomed to hell as only the blood of Jesus can cleanse from sin.
TERM DEFINITION
It is time to define some terms. First we have already seen that God loves lost mankind so much that He became a man and paid for our sins on the cross. However, men and women must choose to receive or reject God's love gift of salvation, forgiveness, and eternal life. All who come to God through the Lord Jesus by repentance and simple faith and receive God's gift will be accepted and are saved. Those without the Lord Jesus are forever lost. They will perish in the lake of fire. Also, to do nothing about the Lord Jesus is the same as rejecting Him. Ignoring Him is the same as rejecting Him. It is still refusing and rejecting God's salvation.
Here are some terms we will be using:
THE WICKED: These are all unsaved people on earth right now. If you are not born-again by receiving the Lord Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, then you are part of the "wicked" the Bible refers to so-many times.
THE LOST: These people are also wicked and they live their lives literally one-heartbeat from hell. If their hearts were to stop they will instantly and forever perish.
I won't bore you with a long list of definitions. But I want to drive home the point that all people without the Lord Jesus as their Saviour are part of the wicked and they will be forever lost in hell if they die.
There are many curses and judgments from the Bible concerning the wicked. In this tract we will be discussing the sorry state of the wicked!
GOD WILL DESTROY AND COMPLETELY CUT OFF THE WICKED FROM THE EARTH
This is a very serious section in this tract. The wicked have rejected God's love so there is nothing left but the wrath and judgment of God. In fact, the first thing the Lord Jesus will do when He returns to earth, is to destroy the wicked. Look at the following verses:
Matt 13
49 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall
come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there
shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
2 Thess 1
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord
Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God,
and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the
presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
Notice that all who have rejected the saving Gospel of the Lord Jesus will be destroyed and perish forever on that day. If a man rejects God's salvation and chooses to pay the penalty for his sins, then wrath, destruction, death, and hell are his lot in life and in eternity.
God has plans for the wicked. He plans to destroy them all from the face of the earth! The wicked reject the Lord Jesus and live for themselves during their short time on earth. However, they are all literally one heartbeat from hell. Death can come from thousands of ways and no one is sure they will be living tomorrow. At any moment the wicked could die and instantly perish forever.
The wicked need to remember this fact: God has your destruction planned and it will happen at an appointed time. The Bible has much to say about the complete destruction of the wicked. Read on as below are many more verses from the Bible related to the destruction of the wicked from planet earth:
Prov 2
22 But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors
shall be rooted out of it.
Like a dirty weed, God will root up and destroy all the Christ rejecting, salvation rejecting wicked from the earth.
Psalm 34
16 The face of the LORD [is] against them that do evil, to cut off the
remembrance of them from the earth.
Psalm 9
5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou
hast put out their name for ever and ever.
Psalm 9
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the nations that
forget God.
Psalm 10
15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil [man]: seek out his
wickedness [till] thou find none.
Psalm 37
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked [shall] not [be]: yea, thou
shalt diligently consider his place, and it [shall] not [be].
Psalm 37
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD [shall be]
as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
Psalm 37
28 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are
preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
Psalm 37
34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit
the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see [it].
Psalm 37
38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the
wicked shall be cut off.
Psalm 52
5 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away,
and pluck thee out of [thy] dwelling place, and root thee out of the land
of the living. Selah.
6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
7 Lo, [this is] the man [that] made not God his strength; but trusted
in the abundance of his riches, [and] strengthened himself in his wickedness.
Psalm 68
2 As smoke is driven away, [so] drive [them] away: as wax melteth
before the fire, [so] let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
Psalm 75
10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; [but] the horns
of the righteous shall be exalted.
Psalm 92
7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of
iniquity do flourish; [it is] that they shall be destroyed for ever:
Psalm 94
23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut
them off in their own wickedness; [yea], the LORD our God shall cut them off.
Psalm 101
6 Mine eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that they
may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.
7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that
telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut
off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.
Psalm 104
35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked
be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.
Psalm 119
119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth [like] dross:
therefore I love thy testimonies.
Psalm 145
20 The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked
will he destroy.
Are you starting to see a central theme yet from the above verses? God has made definite plans for the destruction of the wicked. They are an offense to His creation and He plans to destroy them from the face of the earth. The wicked have chosen to pay for their sins themselves since they rejected the Lord Jesus and His shed blood and God's salvation. Therefore they belong in hell suffering the torment and wrath of God as that is the penalty for sin.
Every day of your life, wicked person, you are an offence to God. Each breath you take can be considered a bonus! One day, God has plans for your death and eternal destruction as He cleanses His creation from the wicked.
For years, wicked person, you have heard the Gospel. People have begged you to come forward to receive the Lord Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. To all the Gospel calls heard, you have rejected every one. In this tract, I'm saying you better run to the Saviour and do it now. I'm not begging you to come to the Lord Jesus like it is some kind of personal favor you are bestowing upon us all. Instead, run to the Lord Jesus today in faith and repentance lest you perish. If you say: "Sure, tomorrow", then be aware of this. You may die within the next hour! There are no guarantees in this life. Run to the Saviour, the Lord Jesus, and do it now... before it is too late!
Below in Psalm 73 a person can clearly see the uncertainty of life. Death can come at any time. The wicked are in a very slippery place and they could easily and quickly plunge forever into a Christless eternity where there will be suffering in the lake of fire. Read the below verses:
Psalm 73
3 For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 For [there are] no bands in their death: but their strength [is] firm.
5 They [are] not in trouble [as other] men; neither are they plagued
like [other] men.
6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth
them [as] a garment.
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly [concerning] oppression: they
speak loftily.
9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh
through the earth.
10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full [cup] are
wrung out to them.
11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the
most High?
12 Behold, these [are] the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they
increase [in] riches.
...
Psalm 73
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; [then] understood I
their end.
18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them
down into destruction.
19 How are they [brought] into desolation, as in a moment! they are
utterly consumed with terrors.
20 As a dream when [one] awaketh; [so], O Lord, when thou awakest,
thou shalt despise their image.
Notice that the wicked are set on a slippery place. In life they act proud with their temporal wealth, power, and self sufficiency. The wicked have big and proud mouths and they boast of their life. However, God says they are in a slippery place. This means disaster, death, and hell can come upon a wicked person very suddenly. The wicked are not to be envied in this world. These lost men and women are dangling over eternal hellfire. When their death and destruction comes suddenly, they will perish forever. As they die, eternal terrors will consume them as they have perished while rejecting the Lord Jesus and the gift of salvation.
Prov 6
12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he
teacheth with his fingers;
14 Frowardness [is] in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually;
he soweth discord.
15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be
broken without remedy.
Suddenly the wicked man will die and perish forever. While alive the wicked lives in pride and rebellion. But the wicked person is too blind to see that he is literally hanging over the lake of fire. One day death will come suddenly and the wicked and all his evil and rebellion will perish in the lake of fire. Below are some additional verses about the fate of the wicked:
Prov 10
6 Blessings [are] upon the head of the just: but violence covereth the
mouth of the wicked.
7 The memory of the just [is] blessed: but the name of the wicked shall rot.
Prov 16
4 The LORD hath made all [things] for himself: yea, even the wicked
for the day of evil.
Psalm 37
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth
the righteous.
Prov 24
20 For there shall be no reward to the evil [man]; the candle of the
wicked shall be put out.
The day of the destruction of the wicked is coming quickly! We are now living in the end of the age and soon the Lord Jesus will return. The return of the Lord Jesus is a great blessing to the saved but to the wicked, it is a sad day of death and destruction!
1 Thess 5
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord
so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden
destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with
child; and they shall not escape.
THE WICKED ARE CURSED OF GOD AND UNDER JUDGMENT AND WRATH
John 3
36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he
that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath
of God abideth on him.
Right now the wicked hellbound sinner is living under the wrath of God. Right now the wrath of God abides on the wicked. Since the wicked have rejected the Lord Jesus they are living on earth under the curse of God.
Prov 3
33 The curse of the LORD [is] in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth
the habitation of the just.
Prov 15
26 The thoughts of the wicked [are] an abomination to the LORD: but
[the words] of the pure [are] pleasant words.
Psalm 75
8 For in the hand of the LORD [there is] a cup, and the wine is red;
it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs
thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring [them] out, [and]
drink [them].
Psalm 34
21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous
shall be desolate.
Psalm 147
6 The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down
to the ground.
Gal 1
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel
unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other
gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
THE WICKED ARE DISLIKED BY THE LORD
God is angry with the Christ-rejecting wicked every day. He merely tolerates their brief sinful and rebellious intrusion into His creation. However, their day of destruction is planned and it is coming very soon!
Psalm 7
11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry [with the wicked]
every day.
Prov 15
29 The LORD [is] far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of
the righteous.
Prov 21
27 The sacrifice of the wicked [is] abomination: how much more, [when] he
bringeth it with a wicked mind?
Many wicked love religion. They have no interest in God or salvation by faith in the finished work of the Lord Jesus. Instead the wicked, like Cain of old times, seek religion to please their man-made gods that approve of their sinful ways. The wicked picks his god based on his morality. The wicked love their sin and rebellion and choose a false god that is pleased and accepting of their lifestyle. You can spot the religious but lost sinner quite easy. They love the costumes of their priests, popes, nuns, guru's, and other "holy" men. They love their prayer books, their blind rituals, and other forms of dead religion to please their false god. To all their good works and sacrifices to their false gods, God says it is an abomination to Him!
Psalm 11
5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth
violence his soul hateth.
6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an
horrible tempest: [this shall be] the portion of their cup.
Psalm 5
5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers
of iniquity.
6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor
the bloody and deceitful man.
As you can see the wicked are a temporary intrusion into God's creation. God did not make the sun to shine or this beautiful creation to be enjoyed by the Christ rejecting wicked. The wicked will only be here until their appointed time of judgment and destruction. Until then the entire creation groans under the burden and weight of sin and the wicked. But, judgment is coming soon, and so hell, the lake of fire, must enlarge it's borders to accommodate all the wicked!
NO HOPE FOR THE WICKED AFTER THEY DIE
Isa 38
18 For the grave cannot praise thee, death can [not] celebrate thee:
they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.
Today is the time for a person to be saved. Right now make that decision and come to the Lord Jesus Christ. For a person to die a wicked Christ rejecting sinner, there is no hope. They will perish forever in the lake of fire with no hope of redemption. These wicked are forever lost and separated from God and all that is good. This is quite a price to pay for a few years of sinful pleasure and the rejection of God's love gift of salvation, forgiveness, and eternal life!
HELL IS THE HOME OF ALL THE LOST AND THE WICKED
The wicked lost sinner will perish forever in the lake of fire. They chose to reject salvation and the Saviour for a few short years of earthly pleasure. But death comes quickly and now they face an eternity cut off and separated from God and all that is good. Their lot is to suffer in torment forever as they "pay" for their own sins.
Next we will look at what the Bible says about the future home of the wicked. They are all destined to burn forever in the lake of fire. Here are many Bible verses describing that horrible place:
HELL IS LIKE A BOTTOMLESS PIT
Rev 21
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless
pit and a great chain in his hand."

11 And I will punish the world for [their] evil, and the wicked for
their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to
cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
HELL IS A PLACE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE REJECTED THE LORD JESUS AND HIS WORK DONE ON THE CROSS
Heb 10
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought
worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath
counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified,
an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
Heb 2
3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at
the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto
us by them that heard [him];
HELL IS THE SECOND DEATH - 1ST DEATH IS PHYSICAL - 2ND DEATH IS SPIRITUAL SEPARATION FROM GOD FOREVER
Rev 21
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and
murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and
all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with
fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
HELL IS THE DESTINATION OF THOSE WHO LOVE AND DO SIN (WORKERS OF INIQUITY)
Luke 13
25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut
to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the
door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and
say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy
presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are;
depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
HELL IS A PLACE TO FEAR GOING TO
Luke 12 5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
DOES HELL SOUND LIKE A GOOD PLACE TO GO? ... LOST PERSON?
Well that is quite a description of hell isn't it. Hell certainly is a place to be avoided at all costs. Here is an example of a person refusing a cure for cancer comparable to a person refusing God's salvation.
A person comes down with a terrible disease...cancer. That person is dying and doesn't have a long time to live. He becomes very depressed and has no hope. Then unexpectantly due to a scientific breakthrough a cure is found for his sickness. All this person needs to do is to take some medicine and he will be cured from that disease. However he doesn't want that medicine... he is angry that he got the disease in the first place. He is mad and blames God for his problem.
Is the person above being intelligent? Is he dumb for rejecting the medicine that will cure him? I think most people would say a definite YES, that is not what a person should do!
However that person is YOU if right now you do not have the Lord Jesus as your Saviour. You see everyone has a terminal disease. That disease is called SIN. If left unchecked that disease will result in the second death which is separation from God and an eternity in hell. There is a cure however. You see the Lord Jesus (who is God in human flesh) became man and died on the cross and purchased a place in heaven for all who will reach out in repentance and faith to receive that gift of salvation. You see the cure for sin is the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross.
You have a decision to make. Are you going to be like that cancer patient who rejected the cure? Are you going to reject the Lord Jesus and His shed blood which will wash away your sin? Are you going to perish in hell when you don't have to?
That is a big decision and an eternal one. Everyone will spend their eternity in either heaven or hell. Which will it be for you?????????
John 14
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no
man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
Acts 4
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other
name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
The above verses clearly show that the Lord Jesus is the ONLY way to be saved, there is no other way. When a person dies they are either SAVED or LOST!
John 3
36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that
believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God
abideth on him.
SO.... What is your decision, lost hellbound sinner?????
Will you spend your eternity with God in heaven? ... or will you decide to pay for your sins yourself and perish in hell for all eternity? Make the decision today because tomorrow may be too late!!!!!
Run to the Lord Jesus NOW lost person! Don't wait as tomorrow may be too eternally too late for you!
FINAL CALL
Come, no..., run, right now to the Saviour, hellbound sinner! Your time is running out and you better not wait. Death could come your way before you finish reading this tract! This is not a call begging you to be saved. Instead it is a call to get out of the fire of the wrath of God as quickly as you can! Come to the Lord Jesus who is the only Saviour of lost men. Come right now before it is too late!
After reading this tract, are you saved? Have you received the Lord Jesus into your heart? If not, then you are still a wicked, lost, hellbound sinner!
WERE YOU 'ALMOST' CONVINCED?
Act 26
28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be
a Christian.
Almost is still lost forever! The person who is almost saved is still only one short heartbeat from hell. Every time an 'almost' person hears the Gospel and then rejects, his heart gets a bit harder. At some point the heart becomes so hard that the person will never be saved. Are you a cement hearted, lost, hellbound, wicked sinner on the way to a lost eternity?
Here is something to think about. King Agrippa is never again mentioned in the Bible. He clearly heard the Gospel and rejected it. There is no indication that he ever got saved. Agrippa loved his sin and had no heart for the things of God. Right now Agrippa is living in extreme torment in his lost eternity forever separated from God. Was his few short years in sin worth a eternity in hell, the lake of fire? Was Agrippa's immorality and powerful position worthy of a lost eternity in hell? Agrippa had the opportunity to be saved. He rejected and now he is damned to hell forevermore!
Here is another reaction to the Gospel by the lost:
1 Cor 1
18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness;
but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
Hard hearted lost people get to the point of total rejection of
the Gospel. At that point the lost person will react in three possible ways:
1) He will react in anger to the Gospel
2) He will be totally indifferent. The lost person will simply not
care and will not be affected at all.
3) As the verse above indicates, the lost person will react with
mockery and anger.
Hellbound lost people react many different ways to the Gospel message. However, their end result is always the same. They will perish forever in the lake of fire.
It is not a light matter to hear the Gospel and then to reject. Look at this verse:
Heb 2
3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at
the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto
us by them that heard [him];
There will be no escape! All people must one day stand before God. Your sins must be paid for. Either you pay for your sins yourself or you accept the Lord Jesus and the free gift of salvation and eternal life.
Lost person, read on if you are interested in salvation, and I certainly hope you do! You would be very foolish to reject the salvation of your eternal soul!
ARE YOU BORN AGAIN?
John 3
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins:
for if ye believe not that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT HELL?
Revelation 20
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of
life was cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 21
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable,
and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and
idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the
lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is
the second death.
Revelation 14
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God,
which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his
indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and
brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in
the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever
and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship
the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark
of his name.
WHAT DID THE LORD JESUS DO FOR ME ON THE CROSS?
Isaiah 53
5 But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was]
bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace
[was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
1 John 1
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we
have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus
Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while
we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
WHAT MUST I DO TO BE BORN AGAIN?
Revelation 3
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear
my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and
will sup with him, and he with me.
John 1
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to
become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
nor of the will of man, but of God.
COME TO THE LORD JESUS AND RECEIVE THE GIFT OF FORGIVENESS AND ETERNAL LIFE...AND DO IT NOW!
Acts 16
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt
be saved, and thy house.
John 3
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
everlasting life.
SINNERS PRAYER
Lord Jesus, I admit that I am a sinner and I ask You to come into my life to forgive and save me. I now receive You as my Saviour (trusting in You ALONE to save me) and my Lord (making You my Master and comitting my life to You).
ASSURANCE
John 20
31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life
through his name.
Heed the message of this tract lost person. You are perishing and could be burning in torment this very day! Without the Lord Jesus you are nothing more than the walking dead. You will soon perish and forever burn in the lake of fire in payment for your sins! Of course the greatest sin is rejecting the Lord Jesus Christ! Accept Him today as your Lord and Saviour as there is no other way to be saved!
Heb 2
3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which
at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed
unto us by them that heard him;
