| No Blood in Hell 9/10/05 George Poulo There is no blood in Hell. All that the blood of Jesus provides the believer is absent in Hell. Therefore, Hell is torment. Hell has intense suffering. There is no relief ever. Let us try to fathom Hell. If the blood of Christ remits sin, then in Hell our sin is ever before us. We are tormented by every evil act we have ever performed. We suffer from fear and guilt, anxiety and depression, and loneliness and despair because our conscience is not purged from dead works. Every evil act will haunt our memories forever and ever and ever. If the blood of Christ removes the veil between us and a holy God, then in Hell, God is not present, only the Devil and his cohorts. The Devil comes only to steal and kill and destroy, so in Hell, we are tormented by the Devil relentlessly. Not only will he bring to our minds what we lost by rejecting the Son, he will abuse, frighten, and cause severe pain to our spirit and soul creating ceaseless havoc. If the blood of Christ gives us access to eternal life, then without the blood, time is endless. It seems that each moment is forever. There is no eternal life in Hell. There is no mercy, no forgiveness, no reprieve, no love, no hope, and no end to the misery that awaits us. Without the blood of Christ, Hell is complete hell. If the blood of Christ gives us access to the Father, and the Father is light, then Hell is pure darkness. It is all that is evil, bleak, and empty. We will only see torment, hear anguish, bemoan the Devil and all of his imps in an environment of heat, dryness, and utter darkness. If the blood of Christ allows us to enter into a rest with God by which we move from victory to victory and glory to glory, then in Hell, without the blood, we are forever restless and move from one defeat to another and one agony to another. There is no peace in Hell. No victory is forthcoming, not even a glimmer of hope for a minor triumph. No enjoyment of the blessings of God, only an anticipation of the next onslaught of the Devil. We are abused mercilessly, completely alone, forever in anguish. Each moment will seem to last forever. It doesn�t have to come to this however. Jesus has prepared a sanctuary completely washed in His precious blood. We can be free from the sin of our past, remembering nothing of our sins which have been completely blotted out and wiped away together with any guilt attached to those sins. Heaven will be a place without lack, no unfulfilled expectations and dreams, no longing for what we do not have, no prisoner of time and space. There will be no sin nature in Heaven so our acts will proceed from the spirit and not from the flesh. We will be free and totally fearless, living in love and light and peace and solitude. Because there is the blood of Christ in Heaven, we will live in God and God will live in us. We will live in the eternal now and time will be no more. And because Christ is an eternal priest, we can never lose what we have gained because the blood will never lose its efficacy. Given the contrast between Heaven and Hell, could you possibly choose to reject the blood? Could you be willing to reject Jesus as Savior and Lord? Could you want to die in your sin? Receive Jesus today. Amen. |
