WHAT WE’D ALL LIKE TO BELIEVE:

 Dead people go to a better place because. . .

God grades on a curve.

Track 2 of 5

As long as we’re sincere, any spiritual path works.

A God of love wouldn’t send anyone to hell.

Only an ignorant bigot thinks Jesus is the only way.

WHAT THE BIBLE ACTUALLY SAYS:

 There is a real place called hell.
       _{^{Matthew 10:28  &  Mark 9:42-45     2 Thessalonians 1:6-10
         Revelation 20:11-15    Hebrews 10:26-27}}

 It was made for Satan and his angels.
       _{^{Matthew 25:41     Revelation 20:10}}


 God doesn’t grade on a curve.
       _{^{Isaiah 64:6     Romans 3:23  &  6:23
         John 1:12-13  &  1 John 2:3-5}}


 Jesus is the only ticket to heaven.
       _{^{John 14:6     Galatians 2:21}}

HOW SHOULD WE THEN LIVE?

1) Trust God with your “Yeah, but what about…” questions.
       _{^{Hebrews 11:6     Deuteronomy 29:29  &  Isaiah 55:8-9}}


2) Tell people the good news about Jesus.
       _{^{Matthew 28:18-20     1 Peter 3:15}}

3) Be winsome – not combative.
       _{^{2 Timothy 2:24-26}}


4) Remove every obstacle you can.
       _{^{I Corinthians 9:19-23}}
