Heaven or Hell?

“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.” – Matthew 5:7 Are Heaven and Hell real places? Yes. Heaven and Hell are real places. They are destinations. Our souls are eternal and when our bodies die, our eternal souls will go before the Lord for judgement. Those who are justified in Christ go to God. Those who rejected Christ shall go to eternal damnation without God. To do nothing is to reject Christ. God, in His word, refers to these two destinations as Heaven and Hell. There is no opting out of this. There is no choosing to sit on the sidelines. Through Christ’s salvation, God forgives all our sin, past, present, and future. If I am saved in Christ and then I mess up, what then? You recover, dust yourself off, confess your regret to God, make amends, pray for His strength and support, and place one foot in front of the other and carry on with your walk of faith. Once you are saved in Christ, you cannot be unsaved. Nobody can take you out of God’s hand. There is no reason to get discouraged or defeated. When we are weak, He is strong for us.
