Topic: Hell Is Real
Text: II Corinthians 5:10-21

This is the hour of revival. Whether you like it or not, it time to seek the Lord. It is wrong to think we can go on doing what we like. After all, we do not know when Jesus will come. Although He has tarried in His coming, we can no longer afford to fool around. If Jesus Christ does not come and you die as a born again Christian, it all amount to the same thing. So it is time to seek the Lord for true Salvation.

Many of us claim to be born again when we are not. Even we claim to be saved, the signs are hardly visible in us. The Bible says: “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, old things are passed away; behold all things are become new” (II Cor.5:17). Are you really different from what you used to be? How many of your friends have told you, you are a new person? Have you personally seen any difference in the way you talk, act and dress? Are you really different or you are just playing church? If you cannot convincingly say you have really changed, it is time to seek the Lord. No one of us is promised the next moment and whoever goes to hell will be there forever.

This challenges us to be concerned about the youths in particular. One young man sat on his motorbike to listen to the sermon in one of our churches. He heard the testimony of an old man who strayed a lot in his youth before coming to Christ. The young man did not take the testimony seriously, thinking he was still quite young and had plenty of time to mess around before coming to Christ. On his way home, he lost control of his bike, crashed into a wall and died instantly. Death does not ask for one’s age before it strikes.

The Bible says, in II Corinthians 6:2, “For he saith I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of Salvation have I succoured thee: behold now is the accepted time; behold now is the day of salvation.” Now is the time to seek the Lord. This is your hour of opportunity. Tomorrow may be too late.

Memory Verse: II Corinthians 6:2 - “Foe he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee, behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
