An elderly TV star was asked by talk-show host Larry King about heaven. King prefaced his question by referring to Billy Graham, who had told King he knew what would be ahead. It would be paradise. He was going to heaven.
King then asked his guest, What do you believe? He replied, Id like a lot of activity. Heaven sounds too placid for me. Theres a lot to do in hell.
Sadly, this man is not alone in thinking that an existence in Satans realm is a preferred destination. Ive heard people say that theyd rather be in hell because all their friends will be there. One person wrote, If hell was real, I dont think it would be bad. There would be a lot of interesting people.
How can we convince folks who are deceived in this way that hell and its horrors are to be avoided? Perhaps by telling them of the realities of hell that are presented in the Scripture. In Daniel 12:2, it is described as a place of shame and everlasting contempt. Luke 16:23 talks about torments. Matthew 8:12 describes weeping and gnashing of teeth. And Revelation 14:11 says there will be no rest.
Biblical truth doesnt allow anyone to think that hell might be a good place to be. Clearly, rejecting Jesus and facing an eternity in Satans kingdom is a bad choice.
