Why Most People Are Going to Hell
Babies, young kids, and others like mentally or handicapped people will go to heaven without having one of those born again moments we think about.
Most people are going to hell. Most people won’t get the fact that Christianity requires a denial of self, a turning away from sin and a love of Jesus - accepting His sacrifice for sin. It’s a simple prescription for heaven. But Matthew 7:13 says most people will miss it:
Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. “For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.”
We want to hope for the best, think about God and His mercy and the fact that He’s loving. The fact is, He gave us a free will. Our sin makes us His enemy. And He’s all about justice. We’ll face the punishment of eternal separation from God for a single sin.
It should sound scary. And yet, don’t most people remain apathetic about their souls and fate? They do because they live the self-deception - literally. They’re so focused on themselves that they don’t think God will send them to hell. He will. He must.
