DON'T STOP
Chattanooga cardiologist Maurice Rawlings, M.D., tells of a patient who had a cardiac arrest in Dr. Rawlings' office. Throughout the attempted resuscitation, the patient faded in and out.
Each time the doctor interrupted the heart massage, the patient appeared to die again.
When the man came to, he screamed, "I am in hell!" A look of sheer terror clouded his face. "Don't stop!" he begged. "Don't you understand? I am in hell. Each time you quit I go back to hell! Don't let me go back to hell!"
The patient survived and put his faith in Christ to take away his sins and secure his place in heaven.{8}The place the Bible calls hell, or hades, is the current home of those who do not accept Jesus' gift of forgiveness. It is a place of constant, conscious torment.{9}Hades is not the final dwelling place of those who die without a personal relationship with Christ.
John says these will be judged at the "great white throne" judgment. Since no one's deeds are sufficient to earn eternal life, those without Christ's pardon will be cast into the "lake of fire."{10}Jesus said that "the eternal fire...has been prepared for the devil and his angels" (Matthew 25:41).
Not a pleasant subject. But remember, God does not want you to perish in hell. He loves you and wants you to spend eternity with Him. Not without Him.{11}Paul wrote that God our Savior wants all people to be saved (or made safe from the consequences of sin, which is separation from God).
He wants us to know Him because He is truth.{12}God sent Jesus Christ, His Son, to pay the penalty for our sins (attitudes and actions that fall short of God's perfection).
Jesus literally went through hell for us. We simply need to receive His free gift of forgiveness--we can never earn it--to be guaranteed eternal life. "Whoever hears my word, Jesus says, "and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life" (John 5:24).
If you'd like to watch a movie about this: Dr. Maurice Rawlings, MD, a heart surgeon, has written a number of books on the near death experience and clearly shows from his own practice and the experiences of his patients, that not everyone goes to the light when they die, where there is total love.
He has written of many patients being resuscitated on the operating table and speaking about being in hell, where there was a real devil and demons, and where the inhabitants were tormented with fire.
Dr. Rawlings writes that these people are a lot more reluctant to talk about it than those who went to the good place. This film (1:28 min.), hosted by Dr. Rawlings, looks at the experiences of people who have literally gone 'To Hell and Back'.
