Poem Title:
Poem
To Ponder Hell is to ponder in agony, to descend into the devil’s finial fate. It is to ponder pure evil set aside for Satin and his demons and fallen Angles along with the Antichrist and False Prophet. Total separation from God, so horrible as to make the mind flee and long to find something to occupy its thoughts and push away the stench of demonic reality. It’s too horrible to even write about without feeling the evil radiating out of an abyss so deep that even the word “evil” seems to fall short. Could regular, everyday good people, going about their hard-working lives, giving in marriage, welcoming a new birth into the family, sinning but hardly an evil sin in man’s way of thinking, but having to mingle in judgment with true evil. It’s like in the game of golf, a miss from an inch or two hundred yards, both get the same score. According to the rules for sin, all deserve hell for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. It’s easier to let hell lie in a far- off place, pushed aside into deep shadows as a fleeting thought. The old Fire and Brim Stone Preachers sermonizing on hell, scared millions to accept salvation. I may have been one for I recall Sunday Mornings were hard to face knowing that I was lost, and conviction settled heavy on my 14-year-old shoulders and hell loomed large. I was fronted with the age of accountability. Were my sins at that time going to drag me into hell for eternity? Yes, so I pushed through my fear and felt the Spirit save me. Yet, there is the Soul and Spirit to consider, can They die? If they are indestructible, then what? When God breathed life into Adam, did his breath make Adam a Trinity of the Body, Soul, and Spirit? If it’s heaven or hell and sin cannot enter God’s presence, there seems to be no place left. The Bible says there is a hell. Can God who created everything, error? The Bible describes hell. The Bible says that it takes blood to atone for sin and the Bible says that we get a new heavenly body that will join the Soul and the Spirit. God says that man’s ways are not God’s ways and God is sovereign. The Bible says that he loves man and wishes all to be saved so he gave us a way to know that we won’t go to hell and that is in the belief and acceptance of the Gift of Grace in the Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
