This is Arthur an Arthur only has days left to live.
What you need to know about Arthur is that he absolutely
loved peppermints. In fact, everywhere he went, he
used to take a large big jar of peppermints, so we could eat
them all day long or very sadly in Arthur's, final moments of
life. He looked at his wife and he
said to her, you have been a marvelous wife, but would you do
just one last favor for me? Would you take my jar of
peppermints? And would you put them right at
the very top of the atmosphere? Attic.
So that when I die, when I Rise up to heaven, I can grab my jar
and take it to be with me, for all of eternity.
Anyway, a few months later, after our third passed away, his
wife, a game was in the attic, and she was going through some
of his things, and they're in front of her, something caught
her eye. It was the jar of peppermints.
She picks it up. Blew the dust off there and then
said these words out loud. Oh boy, I knew I should have put
them in the basement instead. You see my dear friends, my Is
this some people who watch my videos believe that they are
going up, but the reality is they're actually going down to
Hell. So today I want to share with
you three scary signs that a person is probably going to
hell, but there is something absolutely crucial.
You also need to know and it's this one of these signs is more
deadly than all of them put together.
And I want to see if you can guess, which of these signs is
the most potent out of the three before.
Reveal the answer number one, you are obsessed with the things
of this world. I believe the most terrifying
word in the whole of the Bible is this word.
Remember did you know, Jesus told a parable that was actually
true. He talked about a rich man and a
poor man called Lazarus. This rich man was closed in the
most expensive clothing. He lived in a mansion.
He lived in utter luxury every day, but the poor man, Lazarus
begged. It is Gates.
He let down he was covered in sores and he longed he longed
for the That fell from the rich man's table.
He just wanted a few crumbs just to try and satisfy this aching
hungry hard, but eventually, both men died.
The rich man went down to hell. But the poor man Lazarus went to
heaven, because he loved the Lord.
And inhale, the rich man. Cried out.
Did you know this? That people cry out in Hell,
people pray in hell, but it's too late.
There's no hope this rich, man. Cried out, O, Father, Abraham
would you send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in a Pool
of water, and put it on the tip of my tongue because I am an
utter torment in the Flames of this fire.
But Abraham replied these two words son.
Remember, remember you see my dear friends there will be no
memory loss in hell, you will remember every time you rejected
the preacher, you remember every time that you chose your own
ways over the ways of God? You remember, every time you
drove past a church, when you knew the gates were open, you
knew that Doors are open to come and hear about the saving
message of Jesus Christ, but you rejected it, you remember, every
time someone tried to put a gospel leaflet in your hand to
tell you about salvation through Christ alone and you will be
haunted with this memory for all of eternity.
Why didn't I Repent? Why didn't I put my trust in the
Lord? Jesus Christ.
Now it would be super easy for us to rush to a silly
conclusion. That always the rich people go
to hell because they're evil and the poor people always go to
heaven, but that simply isn't the case you see Abraham, who
the rich man was calling out to Abraham was one of the
wealthiest people who ever walked on this Earth and yet he
was in Paradise. He was in comfort and I don't
want to upset anyone, but there will also be many, many poor
people, you will end up in Hell. The point is this it depends
where your treasure is. Are you so grounded in this
earth that you don't care about the things of God?
Because that's what the problem with the rich man.
Was he ignored that poor man who stood outside his gate and
begged and he was You concerned with self and the things of this
life in my country. We have some eco-warriors called
insulate Britain. Do you know what they do?
They run in front of the busiest roads in the UK, and they pull
out their banners and they glue themselves to the road to cause
a big build-up of traffic and US draw, lots of attention to their
campaign. Now, why is this so frustrating?
Because when the police come and they try to budge them, they
can't move these people, because their hands and their feet are
glued to the road and my dear friend, I believe there.
Are many people who profess to be Christians but their hands
are glued to the things of this Earth.
So suppose the Lord Jesus Christ was to come right now and he was
to call all of his Saints to meet him in the sky.
And they would rise up. Many of these same people would
have their hands glued to their laptops and all the filth on
there. They would have their hands
glued to their cars to their career, to their social media
platforms, to the houses, they would not want to rise up with
the Lord Jesus Christ. They would not move because like
the Apostle Paul said about Dimas, they have In love, with
the things of this present age. Are you ready?
When the Lord Jesus Christ comes?
And he says Rise, come with me to heaven, and let's build a new
kingdom or you quite content with the devil's Kingdom and the
things of this world. So, over to you, do you think
number one is the most concerning sign that you're
probably going to hell or going to find out very shortly.
Number two, you think that you are a good person.
I hope this doesn't happen to you, but suppose tonight is your
last night on planet Earth and you stand before the creator of
this universe. And he says to you, why should I
let you into my heaven? What would your answer, be?
Would you say because I'm a good person?
Would you say because I'm a churchgoer, would you say,
because I've done religious things?
If any of those things where your answer, I don't want to
upset anyone, but I've got to tell you this, I truly do
believe that the Lord would turn around to you and say these
words depart from me. I never knew you for anyone who
thinks that they're a good person.
Did you know the Lord Jesus Christ said these very words.
No one is good. Except God Alone, we've told
lies. And the Bible, says, all liars
will have their part in the Lake of Fire.
We've been proud at times and it says, in the Bible that God,
resists the proud, every single one of us has committed adultery
in our hearts. We've locked with wrong desires,
that someone who is not a husband, or a wife.
And the Bible says that, no adulterer, no fornicator will
have any inheritance in the kingdom of God.
But here's the amazing news, there is a wideness to God's
mercy, even though we are criminals in the site, Of God,
God does allow criminals into his heaven, but they have to be
cleaned up criminals, how does it work?
Well, because the god of the universe, loved the people that
he created, he cared for them. He looks at them and says, I've
made you. I love you.
I want you to be in heaven with me.
This same God, prepared, a sacrifice.
He gave up his precious son. His only son, the very Jewel of
heaven and he gave him as a gift to this broken, sinful world.
And did you know this? One of the most Credible.
Mind-boggling things is the God of this universe Christ, Jesus
Spirit stepped into a human body and he lived amongst us.
He wasn't born in a palace in Rome.
He was born in a little animal trough in a little meager town
called Bethlehem. He didn't hang around with
celebrities but rather tax collectors and fishermen.
He didn't have a glamorous job in the houses of Parliament know
the Lord Jesus Christ. He worked with stone and woods.
He lived a very humble life and didn't seek After the elaborate
things and everywhere. This man went, he left lights,
he healed the sick, he fed the poor, he had compassion on the
lost and it said about him that the Common People heard him
gladly, and this wonderful person, God, in a flesh
willingly laid down his life to save you, and I, he was put on a
cross and there on the cross, my savior died for you.
He had Nails driven through his hands and his feet.
He had a crown of thorns smashed in With school, he was spat on.
He was beat, and he was mocked, and everyone was there pointing
at him saying him, look at him, the Son of God.
If you are the Son of God, bring yourself down from the cross.
He enjoyed the shame of the Cross being punished laughed at
so that you and I could be forgiven, you know, the worst
bit was. And I can't put it into words,
but there was a sense of everything that we've done wrong
all of our lies, all of our sin, all of the times that we said,
OMG all of the times we've been lustful and proud, all the
violence of the world was at some point, it was pressured
into one moment. It was laid, it was encased in,
Christ's body and there he was tormented there, he was
punished, he endured the wrath of God.
So that you and I can be. Let off can be forgiven and can
be cleansed because the blood of Jesus Christ can wash away all
of our sins one. Drop would wash away the most
vilest sinner one drop half a drop.
Can make the most wicked person totally clean in God's eyes.
Why? Because the Son of God blood is
so precious. Yes, I might have friends.
I have got to ask you right now. Are you trusting in that
sacrifice? Are you trusting in the Son of
God, Jesus, Christ alone, or are you trusting in your own?
Good works, before Jesus Christ. Breathed, his last breath.
He said these three words, it is finished.
What did he mean by that? He was saying the price has been
paid. I have given a sacrifice, the
door is open, and it's a wide door of God's mercy.
And anyone who humble themselves Anyone who repents and leave
behind their old ways and seek after the Forgiveness of God,
anyone who will walk through this wide door and enter in,
will find eternal life on the other side.
So, over to you again, do you think that number two is the
most dangerous sign that you might just be going to hell?
We're going to find out in just a moment's time.
The third sign that you might just be going to hell is that
there is no fruit in your life. Jesus wants rebuked the
Pharisees and Sadducees saying this and even now the ax Ax is
laid to the root of the trees therefore every tree which does
not bear. Good fruit is cut down and
thrown into the fire. One of the first sermons ever
roads was entitled this Jesus and his acts, you know, we often
sing a song and it goes like this gentle Jesus Meek and mild
and I truly do believe that the Lord Jesus Christ really is, a
gentle, loving savior, but never forget this.
He's also a man that you never ever want to mess with.
There's a Reason why the demons tremble?
When you say the name, the Lord Jesus Christ.
There's a reason why the Devil is a defeated foe.
There's a reason why the Lord Jesus Christ.
Is the only one who death could not hold him down, he conquered
the grave because there is power in the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ, and this might shock some of you but Jesus Christ has
an Axe and that ax is laid at the root of the tree of your
life. And Christ is waiting to see if
you will bear fruits because the trees that don't bear.
Roots will be cut down and will be cast Into the Fire.
Okay, Joe, I get exactly what you're trying to say.
I just need to do more good works and then Jesus won't cut
down my tree. Well, actually, no, that's the
mistake that the Pharisees and the Sadducees made.
They thought if they can put on an outward show, if they can
manufacture their own good works.
Well, then they'll be acceptable to God.
But God looked at the inside inside of them, they were like,
whitewashed tombs. There was deadness in iniquity
inside of them. What you, and I need instead is
for the whole, Holy Spirit to do a work of regeneration where we
bear fruits through him. You see when a man or a woman
puts their faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit
comes and he dwells in these Earthen vessels, that's an
amazing truth that here is the god of the universe, and he
lives inside of us. And when he comes he doesn't
just leave us as we were, it is impossible to meet the Living
God to have an encounter with the Living God and to go through
life on changed know, once the holy spirit is Inside you, he
convicts you of sin, he points you and he conforms you and
takes off the rough edges to make you more like the Lord
Jesus Christ and over time you will bear fruits because the
holy spirit is doing a work of regeneration through you, okay?
The fruit might be small at times, the fruit might be on
impressive but in the life of a True Believer, there will always
be fruits. Jesus Christ said by their
fruits, you shall know them. And you can tell that there is a
believer in front of you because they will bear the fruits of the
Holy Parents, they'll have a sensitivity to sin, they'll have
a longing above, everything else to know.
Jesus Christ to be more closer to him.
They'll have a desire to know more about the word of God.
They'll have more self-control than they used to have in their
previous life and oh, my dear precious brother, my dear
precious, sister, how you and I need to be crying out to God.
Daily saying, Lord God, help me to bear fruit.
Let the Holy Spirit. Do a work.
Through me shake me, mold Me. You Are The Potter and I and the
clay. Do something through me because
this is simply not a work that we can conjure up ourselves.
We need him to work through us. So I'll ask you one more time.
What do you think out of these three signs is the most
dangerous sign that a person might be going to hell?
Well, it's not number three. It's actually number two in
regards to number one. And number three.
I do want you to seriously if these are in your life, I really
do want you to pray seriously and seek the Lord's face.
That you might not be a Christian.
But I do believe that some Christians will struggle with
these things, but number two is not negotiable.
If you are resting in your own, good works.
If you are resting in your own righteousness you will not make
it to heaven. And you are heading to hell.
For by Grace you have been saved through faith and not of
yourselves. It is a gift of God, not of
Works. Lest anyone should boast?
It is only Jesus Christ, who can save a drowning man you can rest
in your own son. Abilities, but eventually the
torrents of the ocean will drag you down and they'll take you to
hell. But my dear friends, there is a
savior who reaches out his hand and says, grab onto it.
I'll save you. I'm a stronger swimmer than you
are. And I'm going to take you to
Paradise to heaven, for all of eternity, have you taken his
hand? Have you trusted in the Lord?
Jesus Christ but there's one big thing that I have not discussed
in this video and it's this. What is Hell really like?
Well, if you want the Answer to that.
