IT'S BEEN ONE OF THE LONGEST, GLOOMIEST WINTERS IN RECENT HISTORY. But finally, spring and warm weather have arrived. I often wonder if hell is like being in eternal cold and grayness increasingly separated from the warmth of our beautiful sun. However, Hell is far worse than just eternal winter.
Tom Ascol has 4 Truths on Hell that are well worth reading and contemplating: It's separation from God, a state of association (but not community since everyone is focused on themselves), punishment and an eternal state. Most of us don't take time to really let these things sink in though we should at least try especially at this wonderful time of year when God graciously brings forth new life for us in the Northern Hemisphere. When Jesus lived on earth, he spoke more about hell and separation than he did on heaven. (Susan Hunt artwork.)
