Running with the crowd, doing as all your friends do. That all seems fine now. But consider this: Hell is a real place! Yes! - HELL IS A REAL PLACE! It is not make-believe or a place formed only in man's imagination. The Bible - God's inspired Word to us - makes it quite plain that Hell is very real and to be avoided!
Hell is not God's intended final destination for mankind.
Now, we don't know exactly what hell is like. Jesus describes it as being everlasting fire. (Matthew 25:41) and again as a place of everlasting torment where there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 13:41,42) And it is also a place of separation. Total separation. There will be no opportunity to be with friends - or anyone else for that matter. (Luke 16:23-26) But God promises to those that trust in Jesus as their Saviour, an eternal home prepared in heaven with Him. (John 14:2) In that place there is everlasting joy. It is a place where there is no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain. (Revelation 21:3,4)
And the only way to have your place reserved there - is through Jesus. Don't shut Jesus out of your life. Don't let others choose for you. Make the decision to accept God's offer of eternal life through Jesus, and a place in heaven.
