Today we will discuss what the Bible says about heaven and hell. In this regard, the Bible gives us a clear idea that there is heaven and hell for us that we will be able to realize after death. God loves us and that is why He wants every soul to go to heaven, so He came to earth to save mankind.
On the other hand, the Bible says that hell is a place that will forever separate people from God and there will be a lake of fire.
This hell was not created by God for man. It was created for Satan and evil spirits. But all people who abandon God and chase after Satan and evil angels will also be thrown into that hell.
The Lord Jesus warned us many times about the reality of heaven and hell through parables. Since we cannot see these things with the naked eye, many times we deny the reality of heaven and hell. But if we study the words of Jesus carefully, we will understand that heaven and hell are real.
If heaven and hell did not exist, the Lord Jesus would not have come to earth and given life for us. The Lord Jesus also explained to us through the story of the rich man and the beggar Lazarus that heaven and hell are two real places for our future.
Therefore, we should be very careful and strengthen our relationship with God so that after death we can enter the kingdom of heaven.
