DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

This sermon emphasizes the urgency and motivation for bold evangelism by
contemplating the horrific fate of those who do not know Jesus Christ,
facing eternal separation from God in hell. It stresses the reality and
endlessness of hell, urging believers to overcome their fears and share
the good news with compassion and boldness, echoing the sentiment of
Spurgeon to go to great lengths to warn and pray for those at risk of
perishing.

And so I believe, brothers and sisters, that one of the greatest
motivations to our boldness in evangelism is the contemplation of the
horrific fate that those who will face some of our own family members,
loved ones, and friends and co-workers, the destiny they will face apart
from Jesus Christ. They will go to a place of weeping and gnashing of
teeth. They will go to a place of outer darkness separated from the
presence of the Lord a place where they will be tormented in body and
soul day and night.

A place from which they will never be released. And I, beginning with
myself, we all need to think more frequently about the horrors of hell
and the torments of hell and the fact that some of our loved ones are
going there. Not in a morbid sense, but in a realistic sense.

Hell is real. No one taught more about hell than the loving,
compassionate, gracious Lord Jesus Christ. It's real.

And it's endless. And we're not going to get to the end and God says,
oh, I was only joking. You know, I just wanted to scare you.

Just a little scare tactic to motivate. No. What God says He means in
hell is real.

That alone should overcome our silly fears. What does it matter what
some person of flesh thinks about me when they're going to eternal hell?
That alone should motivate us to overcome our silly fears and be
graciously bold in telling people the good news. I close in talking to
you believers with a quote from Spurgeon.

One that I do not live up to and I need more grace from God to practice.
Perhaps many of you know it. Spurgeon said, if sinners be damned, at
least let them leap to hell over our dead bodies.

And if they perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped around their
knees, imploring them to stay. If hell must be filled, let it be filled
in the teeth of our exertions and let not one go unwarned and unprayed
for. May that motivate us to be bold in our evangelism.
