Hell

Hell
Luke 16:19-31

by Estelle Nazary

Lost, here and hereafter

What is the world's greatest need?
1. Prosperity
2. More buying power
These are the answers of 66 educators!

Spiritual Need
Reasons rich man was like all lost people.
1. He was externally like above educators - into social status
2. Like them internally
3. He was lost in wealth - wore purple color of royalty - linen = rich people
4. He feasted sumptuously on most exotic food
People starved even at his gate - material prosperity is not a barometer of spiritual prosperity.
Divorce, drug use, and abuse, crime are all prevalent in America.
5. He was lost in the midst of eternal woe - torment - fire, awful pain, anguish, suffering..
People separated from God from all eternity in Hell.
6. There is "NO" mercy in Hell.
Publican is a sinner - asking for God's mercy. Pharisee telling God how good he was.
7. Rich man was in Hell forever. Rich man died and went to Hell - great gulf fixed by God so people cannot pass from Hell to Heaven.
8. Hell is an eternal truth.
9. He was lost in spite of a witness.
5 brothers - send Lazarus to warn my brothers about his place. Let him bear witness to them. They have Moses and prophets- the old testament scripture. We have the New Testament - the word today. He failed to heed the word, to listen to the word and witness.
