Do " Cool People " Go To Heaven Or Hell?
by Bill Harper
On WorldSentiment.com, a public opinion website I often visit, the question was raised, " Where do you think the "cool people" are - in heaven or in hell? This was my answer to that question:
From my experience, I have noticed that many of those considered to be "cool people" tend to disbelieve in Hell and usually think it is not cool for someone like me to say that people are going there when they die. Many others think they are too cool to become a believer in Jesus Christ, which is the only way to escape Hell. Some reject the Christian faith because they feel that it would cramp their cool, fun lifestyle and that their cool friends would think that they are not cool if they become a Christian. If you were to ask certain people this question they would tell you that they would prefer to go to Hell rather than go to Heaven because that is where all their friends will be. They seem to have the attitude that it will be one big party down there.
Well, all I have to say to that is, that according to God's Word, The Holy Bible, Hell is anything but "cool." In fact, I hear it is rather hot down there and that there is no water to drink to cool your tongue ( Luke 16:22-31 ). Again, I repeat, coming to Jesus Christ in faith and repentance for salvation is the only way to stay out of Hell. Therefore, my question to you is this: Would you rather refuse Christ and continue to be seen as "cool " by your peers or would you rather someday walk with the Lord " in the cool of the day " ( Genesis 3:8 ) in Paradise restored ? In reality, from a heavenly perspective, the "cool " thing to do is to know Jesus and the coolest place to be is to be found in Him at the hour of death.
For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
- Psalm 86:13, kjv:bible
