It is the Sinful Nature of Man that Sends them to Hell

Did you know that just stealing a pencil from a friend can cause someone to go to hell?

But wait a minute, you might say, that's a little harsh!

No one goes to hell for stealing a pencil, they go to hell because their nature is sinful. If someone followed all the ten commandments but never trusted in Christ they would still go to hell.

The commandments show us how sinful we are, they are not rules to follow they are indictments of our nature. The very nature of man is corrupted to the core no matter what good deeds they do or the good things they say if they have not trusted in Christ they will go to hell.

To make it to heaven one must confess their sinful nature, ask God to clean up that nature and make them a new creation, trusting that Christ paid the debt they want Him to change them.

2 Corinthians 5:17

"17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, this person is a new [a]creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come."

Once they realize this they see the terrible sacrifice He made in dying on our behalf. We deserved to be on the cross but He did not. He did that for us because of His great love for us.

To spurn what He did for us, the shedding of His blood to pay our debt, is to spit in the face of God the Father.

Christ did only good while on this earth but mankind in general spit in His face for it, in my estimation this is completely irrational and rebellious.

Parents are experiencing this same ungratefulness from adult children today. The adult children are even turning their children against their own grandparents merely to have power over the parents. I cannot think of anything more despicable than ungrateful children who grow up to poison grandchildren against their own grandparents.

This is what comes from a culture that spurns God and all that God stands for in His Word. Even worse are those who attend church regularly and claim to love God but hate their brothers and sisters. These people have no interest in the Bible to actually follow it, they merely want to appear as good people but in fact, are contemptible in God's eyes.

Isaiah 29:13 "13 And the Lord said:

“Because this people draw near with their mouth

and honor me with their lips,

while their hearts are far from me,

and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men,'"

Ezekiel 33:31

"31 And they come to you as people come, and sit before you as My people and hear your words, but they do not do them; for they do the lustful desires expressed by their mouth, and their heart follows their unlawful gain."

Matthew 15:7-9

"7 You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy about you, by saying:

8 ‘This people honors Me with their lips,

But their heart is far away from Me.

9 And in vain do they worship Me,

Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”
