The soul of a man cannot die. It is the body that expires with time due to the fall of man in the Garden of Eden. The two options are meant for man to choose one out of them. Our scripture for today’s consideration, captioned two people that consciously made their choices prior to their death. Choices of eternity are not by accident. No one crashes into heaven by accident or mere wishes; it takes a deliberate and conscious preparation.
On the contrary, hell fire is a place that welcomes all kinds of people with their sins. It is not a selective place; all categories of people with their loads of sin are permitted in hell. The internet fraudsters, corrupt individuals and those who embezzled public funds will be accorded the hottest place in hell. The excruciating pains in hell are unbearable. The pains and cries are forever. There is no respite in hell, a terrible place that has taken many souls.
To make heaven is not difficult. It takes determination and a definite resolve to live for Christ. It starts by being born again, accepting Jesus as Lord and personal Saviour. There must be a daily walk with God in righteousness and holiness. Further reading: Gen. 13: 2; 26: 1 Chron. 29:1-9; Heb. 11:6; Rev. 21:5; 22:4; 21:21; 21:8;20:614:10-11; Luke 16:23-24;Rev. 20:11-15
