HELL FIRE: READ AND WHAT'S YOUR VIEW
Hell fire (the fiery furnace/eternal death/everlasting tormenting fire) is the dwelling place of the evil/wicked ones that God created just like God also created Heaven (eternal life/kingdom of God) for the good/righteous ones (whether obedience-based or faith-based righteous Christians). Spread "the Word" here means "Spread Jesus Christ."
"By their fruit, you shall know them." When you see a mango fruit on a tree, you will know that the tree is called a mango tree. When you see an orange fruit on a tree, you will know that the tree is an orange tree. But when you do not see a fruit on a tree that is created by God to bear fruit then you know that the tree is a fruitless tree that can not quench the hunger of the human beings that it has been created by God to serve as food to.
(1) Obedience-based righteous Christians: Good Christians are meant to be purposeful in terms of spreading the good News as this is the first purpose of a good Christian. The wages of sin (that is, disobedience to God) is death which means that the total earnings of being a slave of sin (disobedience to God) committed on this earth (that is, in this world) is eternal death (that is, hell fire/fiery furnace) after this life. Each earning of sin (disobedience to God) on this earth is spiritual death and being distant from God (spiritual death distance people from God). Jesus Christ is life and He is the Master of all the slaves of righteousness (good Christians), thus, they all have life spiritually. "Jesus Christ is the light of the world." and whoever walks with the light (that is, walks in righteousness) sees and knows where Jesus Christ is taking him/her to which is certainly eternal life (Heaven/kingdom of God). Those who do not know Jesus Christ (God, the Son) cannot claim that that they know God, the Father. Based on the Bible passage below, if they had truly known and believed the teachings of the true prophets of old, then they would have known and believed Jesus Christ (who is God, the Son and the long awaited Messiah in the Holy Scriptures). Salvation does not come from only studying/reading the word of God. Salvation comes from believing the word of God that has been read/studied by you. Jesus Christ is "the Word." Jesus Christ taught the Pharisees but they were not his disciples (his followers) but the Pharisees were always looking for faults in our Lord and Master Jesus Christ and trying to set traps for Him. The Pharisees had a law that nobody should testify on their own behalf and that someone else must be a witness/tesfier for him or her. As a good Christian, you can testify for Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ in you because God, the Father who sent Jesus Christ to this world for the salvation of those who will believe in Him, also testifies on His behalf. Jesus Christ would not want to judge anyone but anytime the need to judge anyone arises, He will pass the judgement in the authority of the father and not with just human wisdom as the Pharisees were doing. In this Bible passage below, Jesus Christ did not ask them not to judge but He asked the Pharisees to pass judgment through Godly wisdom. Jesus Christ (God, the Son) was right in front of them yet He told them that they did not know Him whichich meant that the Pharisees do not know God. Jesus Christ also told the Pharisees that they do not know where he came from and where He is going to. Which meant that they do not know God, the Father too and Heaven (Kingdom of God/eternal life. Even after this bitter truth about themselves (the Pharisees) that Jesus Christ (God, the Son) preached to them, still they could not arrest Him because God did not allow happenenhappen as the hour has not yet come.
NOTE THAT:
(A) IN THIS BIBLE PASSAGE BELOW, "JESUS CHRIST SAID THAT WHOEVER FOLLOWS HIM WILL HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE AND WILL NEVER WALK IN DARKNESS" WHICH MEANS "GOOD CHRISTIANS WILL HAVE JESUS CHRIST OF ETERNAL LIFE (HEAVEN) AND WILL NOT WALK IN HELL FIRE/FIERY FURNACE WITHOUT HIM."
(B) JESUS CHRIST IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.
(C) JESUS CHRIST IS THE LIGHT OF ETERNAL LIFE.
(D) DARKNESS HAS NO SPACE WITH THE LIGHT.
(E) JESUS CHRIST IS STILL THE LIFE.
(F) "EVEN THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, I WILL FEAR NO EVIL." JESUS CHRIST TAUGHT THIS HARD TRUTH TO THE PHARISEES IN THE TEMPLE AND IT WAS IN THE INNER ROOM WHERE THEY KEPT OFFERING BOX, A PLACE WHERE ONLY THE PHARISEES WERE AND THEY COULD HAVE KILLED HIM THERE TOO BUT THEY HAD NO SUCH POWER OVER GOD, THE SON (OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST).
(G) JESUS CHRIST IS A SHINING LIGHT THAT DOES NOT HIDE FROM SHINING SO BRIGHT EVEN IN THE MIDST OF ENEMIES.
(H) JESUS CHRIST IS "THE WAY", "THE TRUTH", AND " THE LIFE".
SING THIS SONG OF OBEDIENCE TO GOD:
*** TRUST AND OBEY,
*** FOR THERE IS NO OTHER WAY
*** TO BE HAPPY IN JESUS
*** BUT TO TRUST AND OBEY.
According to John 8: 12-20
JESUS SPOKE TO THE PHARISEES AGAIN. "I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD," HE SAID. "WHOEVER FOLLOWS ME WILL HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE AND WILL NEVER WALK IN DARKNESS." THE PHARISEES SAID TO HIM, "NOW YOU ARE TESTIFYING ON YOUR OWN BEHALF, WHAT YOU SAY PROVES NOTHING." "NO," JESUS ANSWERED, "EVEN THOUGH I DO TESTIFY ON MY OWN BEHALF, WHAT I SAY IS TRUE, BECAUSE I KNOW WHERE I CAME FROM AND WHERE I AM GOING. YOU MAKE JUDGEMENTS IN A PURELY HUMAN WAY; I PASS JUDGEMENT ON NO ONE. BUT IF I WERE TO DO SO, MY JUDGEMENT WOULD BE TRUE, BECAUSE I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS; THE FATHER WHO SENT ME IS WITH ME. IT IS WRITTEN IN YOUR LAW THAT WHEN TWO WITNESSES AGREE, WHAT THEY SAY IS TRUE. I TESTIFY ON MY OWN BEHALF, AND THE FATHER WHO SENT ME ALSO TESTIFIES ON MY BEHALF." "WHERE IS YOUR FATHER?" THEY ASKED HIM. "YOU KNOW NEITHER ME NOR MY FATHER," JESUS ANSWERED. "IF YOU KNEW ME, YOU WOULD KNOW MY FATHER ALSO. JESUS SAID ALL THIS AS HE TAUGHT IN THE TEMPLE, IN THE ROOM WHERE THE OFFERING BOXES WERE PLACED. AND NO ONE ARRESTED HIM, BECAUSE HIS HOUR HAD NOT COME.
(2) Faith-based righteous Christians: Jesus Christ (God, the Son) calls whoever He wants to call to become one of his disciples (good Christians) through the God, the Holy Spirit and in the authority of God, the Father. Water is not evil afterall water was used in baptising Jesus Christ (God, the Son); and God, the Holy Spirit and God, the Father was so pleased with Jesus Christ (God, the Son) for allowing Himself to be baptized with an ordinary water. Jesus Christ still had to call His first disciples because even if all those people (the crowd of people) pushed to listen to the word of God, none of them believed or even followed the way of Life that Jesus Christ was teaching. Jesus Christ is the " TEACHER OF THE WORD". "JESUS CHRIST IS THE WORD," WHICH MEANS JESUS CHRIST TEACHES ABOUT HIMSELF (SOMETIMES DIRECTLY IN PARABLES, STORIES ETC AND SOMETIMES DIRECTLY) IN THE AUTHORITY OF GOD, THE FATHER. In the Bible passage below, Jesus Christ saw two different empty boats but chose the boat of Simon Peter. Who are you to question whom the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ chooses out of the multitude to serve Him? "Jesus Christ is the begining and the end." "Jesus Christ is the first and the last." Jesus Christ can decide that all the people gathered in a church are not His even if they claim to be Christians, then He can choose to call someone who is so diligent at his/her workplace (not necessarily based on the amount of wealth or money that the person has made in the business but by the zeal and fight for daily bread) and ask the person to come and serve Him in His vineyard in the same way and manner that he/she has been pursuing/searching for his/her daily bread. For example, instead of stoping hardened criminals at your office with so much zeal, Jesus Christ can tell such a person to use this same zeal to get some of these hardened criminals into eternal life through Faith in the Gospel, and so on and so forth. Allow God to use your workplace just like Simon Peter's boat to win souls to the Kingdom of God (Heaven) first then He will bless you according to His will as long as you follow His directions and do them by having faith in Him no matter what the ugly story of your company has been in the past. Whatever Jesus Christ wants is done. The blessings can even extend from one company to another (that is, extend to your business partners) if God wants it to be so. All that Jesus Christ has ever done is in the authority of God, the Father and all the people that Jesus Christ has ever come to is in the authority of God, the Father. Jesus Christ came to even Judas Iscariot in the authority of God, the Father just like He did with His other disciples but Judas Iscariot later chose the path of destruction along the way. Jesus Christ (God, the Son) performs true miracles and true wonders. When you are one of the chosen ones of Jesus Christ, after the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ must have trained/taught you well Jesus Christ Himself will help you and your partners in Jesus Christ (God, the Son) to win the number of souls that even you cannot hold comfortably as it will be overwhelming. "God is my witness." I am the baby of the Lord (Jesus Baby).
According to Luke 5: 1-11
ONE DAY JESUS CHRIST WAS STANDING ON THE SHORE OF LAKE GENNESARET WHILE THE PEOPLE PUSHED THEIR WAY UP TO HIM TO LISTEN TO THE WORD OF GOD. HE SAW TWO BOATS PULLED UP ON THE BEACH; THE FISHERMEN HAD LEFT THEM AND WERE WASHING THE NETS. JESUS GOT INTO ONE OF THE BOATS - IT BELONGED TO SIMON - AND ASKED HIM TO PUSH OFF A LITTLE FROM THE SHORE. JESUS SAT IN THE BOAT AND TAUGHT THE CROWD. WHEN HE FINISHED SPEAKING, HE SAID TO SIMON, "PUSH THE BOAT OUT FURTHER TO THE DEEP WATER, AND YOU AND YOUR PARTNERS LET DOWN YOUR NETS FOR A CATCH." "MASTER," SIMON ANSWERED, "WE WORKED HARD ALL NIGHT LONG AND CAUGHT NOTHING. BUT IF YOU SAY SO, I WILL LET DOWN THE NETS." THEY LET THEM DOWN AND CAUGHT SUCH A LARGE NUMBER OF FISH THAT THE NETS WERE ABOUT TO BREAK. SO THEY MOTIONED TO THEIR PATNERS IN THE OTHER BOAT TO COME AND HELP THEM. THEY CAME AND FILLED BOTH BOATS SO FULL OF FISH THAT THE BOATS WERE ABOUT TO SINK. WHEN SIMON PETER SAW WHAT HAD HAPPENED, HE FELL ON HIS KNEES BEFORE JESUS AND SAID, "GO AWAY FROM ME, LORD! I AM A SINFUL MAN! HE AND THE OTHERS WITH HIM WERE ALL AMAZED AT THE LARGE NUMBER OF FISH THEY HAD CAUGHT. THE SAME WAS TRUE OF SIMON'S PARTNERS, JAMES AND JOHN, THE SONS OF ZEBEDEE. JESUS SAID TO SIMON, DON'T BE AFRAID; FROM NOW ON YOU WILL BE CATCHING PEOPLE." THEY PULLED THE BOATS UP ON THE BEACH, LEFT EVERYTHING, AND FOLLOWED JESUS.
SING THIS SONG OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND WORSHIP:
*** WE ARE GATHERING TOGETHER UNTO THEE.
Interlude: (UNTO THE LORD)
*** WE ARE GATHERING TOGETHER UNTO THEE.
Interlude: (UNTO JESUS)
*** UNTO THE LORD, SHALL THE GATHERING OF HIS PEOPLE BE.
*** WE ARE GATHERING TOGETHER UNTO THEE.
