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

Thomas Brooks emphasizes the reality of hell as a place of eternal
punishment for the wicked, contrasting it with the joy of heaven. He
questions how individuals can continue to indulge in sin and evil when
they should be aware of the impending torment that awaits them. Brooks
urges listeners to reflect on their actions and beliefs, suggesting that
a true understanding of hell would lead to a more serious approach to
life and righteousness. The sermon serves as a stark reminder of the
consequences of unrighteousness and the importance of seeking a life
aligned with God's will.

"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but

the righteous to eternal life." Matthew 25:46

Certainly there is a hell, a place of torment provided

and prepared for all wicked and ungodly people.

Ah, how many are there that rejoice to do evil, and

delight in their abominations, and take pleasure in

unrighteousness! But could men do thus, dared men

do thus--did they really believe that hell was prepared

and fitted for them, and that the fiery lake was but a

little before them?

Heaven is a place where all is joyful--and hell is a

place where all is doleful. In heaven there is nothing

but happiness--and in hell there is nothing but

heaviness, nothing but endless, easeless, and

remediless torments. Did men really believe this, how

could they go so merrily on in the way to hell?
