2 What Jesus is Telling us About the Rich Man and Lazarus
Jesus conveys the contrast of their lives on earth. Jesus teaches the certainty of death, and life after death for all people – no matter how they lived on earth. Jesus conveys the contrast of their lives in the afterlife.

3 What Jesus Taught Us About Hell
Hell is a real literal place.

4 David Wells “Truth is being abandoned not because it is shown to be false but because it is felt to be unpopular. Changes in accepted Christian doctrine, such as hell, has come about not because of new light from Scripture but because of new darkness from the culture.”

5 What Jesus Taught Us About Hell
Hell is a real literal place. Hell is a place of eternal suffering. Hell is a final and fixed destination. Hell is deserved.

6 What Jesus Taught Us About Evangelism
Those who have died in their sins do not want their loved ones to go to hell. God has provided salvation from hell and it only comes through his revealed Word and through his followers.

7 What Jesus Taught Us About Evangelism
Jesus teaches us that signs and miracles are not enough to penetrate the hardened heart of rebellion and unbelief.

8 Consider: The reason Jesus talked about hell is because he did not want people to go hell. The reason Jesus died and rose again was so that people would not have to go to hell.

9 “I’ve always said that I don’t respect people who don’t proselytize
“I’ve always said that I don’t respect people who don’t proselytize. I don’t respect that at all. If you believe that there’s a heaven and a hell, and people could be going to hell or not getting eternal life, and you think that it’s not really worth telling them this because it would be socially awkward…

10 …well how much do you have to hate somebody to not proselytize
…well how much do you have to hate somebody to not proselytize? How much do you have to hate somebody to believe everlasting life is possible and not tell them that? I mean, if I believed, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that a truck was bearing down on you, there is a certain point where I tackle you. And this seems to me more important than that.”
