CAUGHT UP TO BE WITH THE LORD JOHN 3 v 16-17 ; For God so loved the world that He gave His only

begotten Son that whosoever that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. Here then is the Bible in a nutshell ; Jesus Christ came into this world to save mankind from its sin and the results of that sin.. He came to preach that violence, hatred, and poverty should be done away with and in their place God offered peace of mind, joy and prosperity. and Christian love one to another. We should turn away from satan and worship God and obey His statutes. John 3 v 36 ; He that believes on the Son has everlasting life, and he that believes not the Son shall not see life,- but the wrath of God abides on him. JOHN 10 v 9 ; I am the door, by Me if any man enters in he shall be saved. JOHN 10 v 27-28 ; My sheep hear My voice and I know them, and they follow me. And I give them eternal life and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck-them out of My hand. The promise of eternal life with Jesus Christ and other Christians requires repentance-of sin, confession to God ' and acceptance of Jesus Christ as Saviour. Then we must be obedient to the Statutes of-God as they are revealed to us from the word of God and the Holy Spirit. JOHN I v 29 ; The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said, Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. JOHN 5 v 24 ; Verily, verily, I say to you, he that hears My word and believes on Him that sent me has everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death to life. JOHN 6 v 47 ; Verily, verily, I say to you, he that believes on Me has everlasting life. JOHN 17 v 3 ; And this is life eternal, that they may know You the only true God and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. JOHN 5 v 28-29 ; Marvel not at this for the hou ' r is coming in the which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice, And shall come forth, they that have done good unto the resurrection of Life, and they that have evil unto the resurrection of damnation. So the Christian will die like-any other person but Jesus has guarantee that they will rise from the dead at the rapture of Christ's church which will be taken to heaven to be presented to God. JOHN 14 v 1-3 ; Let not your heart be troubled, you believe in God believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions, if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you and if I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and receive you unto Myself, that where I Am there you may be also. ACTS I v 11 ; You men of Galilee, why stand you gazing up into heaven ? This same Jesus which is taken from you-into heaven shall so come in like manner as you have seen Him go into heaven. I THESSALONIANS 4 v 13-18 ; For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them that are asleep. For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the trump of God and the dead shall rise first . Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we ever be with the Lord. REVELATION 20 v 6 ; Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection, on such the second death has no power. But they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him for a thousand years. REVELATION 21 v 4 ; And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes and there shall be no more death. N either sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things are passed away.

Acts 4 v 12 ; Neither is there salvation in any other for there is none other name under heaven, given among men whereby we must be saved. I stood one day at Calvary where Jesus bled and died I never knew He loved me so, for me was crucified. And as I stood there in my sin, His love reached down to me, And 0 the shame that filled my soul, that day at Calvary. I knelt one day at Calvary, my eyes were filled with.tears To think such love I had refused through-all these wasted years And as I knelt I heard Him-say, I did it all for thee. And 0 the love that filled my soul that day at Calvary. I prayed on day at Calvary, I'm Thine for evermore Forgive me Lord for all my sins, my lost estate restore. And as I prayed, to me He gave salvation full and free. And 0 the peace that filled my soul, that day at Calvary. And now on to part 2. Cast down to be with satan. ROMANS 3 v 23 ; For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. JOHN 3 v 16-17 ; For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. for God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through Him might be saved. Those who believed in God and obeyed His commandments had the benefit of eternal life with Jesus Christ. But the people who rejected Jesus as Redeemer and Lord would be condemned by their own works on their judgement day when the books are to be opened and the ungodly judged according to their works. Revelation 20 v 12-15. ROMANS 1 v 21-23, 32 ; Because that when they knew God they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise they became fools and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God unto an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds and four footed beasts and creeping things. V 32 ; Who knowing the judgement of God that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same but have pleasure in them that do them. God has prepared a punishment for them that die in their-sins. JOHN 3 v 36 ; He that believes on the Son has everlasting life, and he that believes not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on Him. GALATIANS 6 v 7-8 ; Be not deceived, God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man sows that shall he reap. But he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption, but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap Life everlasting. Where will this punishment take place ? PSALM 9 v 17 ; The wicked shall be turned into Hell and all the nations that forget God. MATTHEW 25 v 41 ; Then shall He also say to them on the left hand, Depart from Me you cursed, into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels. v 46 ; And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into life eternal. JOHN 5 v 28-29 ; Marvel not a t this for the hour is coming in the which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice. And shall come forth, they that have done good unto the resurrection of Life and they that have done evil unto the resurrection of damnation. LUKE 16 v 22-24 ; And it came to pass that the beggar died and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments and saw Abraham afar

off with Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue., for I am tormented in this flame. Lazarus, in a right relationship with God went to Paradise where he met Abraham, but the rich man, ungodly, found himself in hell and in torment. and the day is yet to come when death and hell will cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the rich man will stay for eternity. 2 THESSALONIANS I v 7-9 ; And to you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven, with His mighty angels. In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the power of His glory. Just where is this hell ? Mentioned so often in the Bible. In the lower part of the earth. EPHESIANS 4 v 8-10 ; Wherefore He said when He ascended up on high, He led captivity captive and gave gifts to men. Now He that ascended what is it but that He also descended into the lower parts of the earth. He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens that He might fill all things. REVELATION 20 v 10 ;-.And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. REVELATION 20 v 12-15 ; And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God and the books were opened and another book was opened which is the book of life. And the dead were judged out of those things that were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them, and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire, this is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Following the resurrection of the ungodly, their new resurrection bodies become immortal and their torment in the lake of fire and brimstone is everlasting. REVELATION 14 v 9-11 ; And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and His image and receives his mark in his forehead or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation And shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends up for ever and ever and they have no rest day nor night who worship the beast and his image and whosoever receives the mark of his name. God prepared hell and the lake of fire and brimstone for the devil, the angels that sinned against God and the unrepentant people who rejected Jesus as Lord and Saviour, for their will be no sin in heaven. ISAIAH 66 v 23-24 ; And it shall come to pass that from one new moon to another and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before Me saith the Lord. And they shall go forth and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against Me, for their worm shall not die neither shall their fire be quenched and they be an abhorring to all flesh. It is not God's will that any man should perish. 2 PETER 3 v 9 ; The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness, but is longsuffering to usward, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. The Scriptures point out many verses that should bring us to repentance and reconciliation with God. HEBREWS 2 v 3 ; How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation ? JOHN 1 v 12 ; But as many as received Him to them gave He power to become the sons of God. Finally Jesus makes the outstanding offer to all sinners. REVELATION 3 v 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 sup with him and he with me. Let us believe what the Scriptures say and call upon Jesus for our salvation and destiny. Just as I am and waiting not, to rid my soul of one dark blot To You whose blood can cleanse each spot, 0 Lamb of God I come.

Just as I am though tossed about with many a conflict many a doubt Fightings and fears within, without, 0 Lamb of God I come. Just as I am You will receive, will welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve Because Your promise I believe, 0 Lamb of God I come. THE CHOICE ; JOSHUA 24 v 15 ; And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom you will serve, Whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell, but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
