Dear reader, hell is real. When the roll call is made and your name is not found in the book of life, you will be cast into hell. What a sad day that will be for you? It will be a day of a thousand regrets, and, perhaps, a million more. But it will be too late. The question is: Are you sure for certain that if you were to die today, God forbid, that you will go to heaven? It is appointed for one to die, but, if you die without knowing whether or not you will go to heaven, your portion is sad. You cannot afford to doubt that you are ready for heaven. Your doubt connotes uncertainty. This is the most important life’s decision every one must make. No one, but you can decide your fate. It is urgent. So, you must act now.
Hell is real. The Bible plainly and unambiguously teaches that hell "is a real place to which the wicked/unbelieving are sent after death." We have all sinned against God (Romans 3:23). The just punishment for that sin is death (Romans 6:23). Since all of our sins are, ultimately, against God (Psalm 51:4), “and since God is an infinite and eternal Being, the punishment for sin - death - must also be infinite and eternal. Hell is this infinite and eternal death which we have earned because of our sins.”
"The punishment of the wicked dead in hell is described throughout Scripture as “eternal fire” (Matthew 25:41), “unquenchable fire” (Matthew 3:12), “shame and everlasting contempt” (Daniel 12:2), a place where “the fire is not quenched” (Mark 9:44-49), a place of “torment” and “fire” (Luke 16:23-24), “everlasting destruction” (2 Thessalonians 1:9), a place where “the smoke of torment rises forever and ever” (Revelation 14:10-11), and a “lake of burning sulfur” where the wicked are “tormented day and night forever and ever” (Revelation 20:10).
"The sentence of the sinful in hell is as conclusive as the happiness of the righteous in heaven. Jesus Himself indicates that punishment in hell is just as everlasting as life in heaven (Matthew 25:46). The sinful are forever subject to the fury and the wrath of God. Those in hell will admit the perfect justice of God (Psalm 76:10). Those who are in hell will know that their punishment is just and that they alone are to blame (Deuteronomy 32:3-5). "Yes, hell is real. Yes, hell is a place of torment and punishment that lasts forever and ever, with no end. Praise God that, through Jesus, we can escape this eternal fate" (John 3:16, 18, 36).

There is no repentance in the grave. You must settle this issue while you are alive without which you will stand condemned before God, and give nothing in exchange for your soul. You must simply accept today that you are a sinner. Confess the sins to God in Jesus' name and believe that Jesus christ, who died on the cross, had received the just punishment for your sins. Then by faith believe that your sins are forgiven, and you will be justified and saved from the wrath of hell.
