The Existence of Heaven and Hell Pastor Jim Kennemur
We believe that heaven exists. It is the believer’s hope and future. Luke 16:22, 25 ( Matt. 6:9; 11:25; 26:29; Rev. 3:4-5; John 12:2-3; 2 Cor. 5:1-2; Col.1:27; 1 Pet. 1:4; Rev 21:1-22:5) How does the reality of heaven affect my daily life?
We also believer hell is real and exists. There will be a conscious awareness. Luke 16:22-23 (Romans 6:23) There will be understanding of what is happening. Vs. 23 (Isa. 66:24; Jude 7; Rev 16:10; 20:15) There will be conscious regret of missed earthly opportunities. Vs. 25 (Matt 25:46)
The question of Evangelism. Now being a witness is eternally important. Matt. 28:18-20; Acts 1:8 (Matt. 7:21-23; 9:24; 12:8-9; Heb. 9:27; Dan. 12:2; Rev. 14:11; 2 Thess. 1:8-9; Luke 10:2) Next week: Luke 1:1-24 The birth of John Foretold
