Last I heard the only thing that sends one to hell is not accepting Jesus as your savior.
That is a too common misinterpretation. Accepting Jesus as Savior and Lord is accepting Him as your substitute before God. You exchange places. He died for you, you live because of Him. If He is not your substitute, you stand before God on your own merit and you WILL fall short.
If a man stands trial for murder and during the trial he is offered a pardon but rejects the pardon because of conditions (counting the costs), then what ultimately sends him to prison? Is he sent to prison for rejecting the pardon? No. He is sent to prison for murder.
Everyone who goes to hell gets there because the wages of sin is death and all have sinned. Pardon comes to those whose debt was paid by another -- the only worthy substitute. WORTHY IS THE LAMB WHO WAS SLAIN.
Amen!
They will know we are Christians by our love. Some people here I have my doubts, but thank Him, I don't have to judge! Let the Shepard worry about the state of the lambs! It's HIS JOB, not mine.
