Isaiah 5:14
Isaiah 5:14
Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure.
The image of hell “enlarging itself” serves as a vivid warning about the expansive nature of spiritual consequences when one turns away from God’s path. It portrays a sobering reality of the fate that awaits those who reject God’s calling. This expansion isn’t merely a punishment but a natural outcome of choices that lead away from holiness and purity. God’s love, however, offers a different path, one of redemption and transformation. This message encourages believers to actively pursue a life of righteousness, avoiding paths that lead to spiritual downfall. It serves as a reminder that God’s arms are open to those who seek Him, offering a life of purpose and peace. Choosing His path leads to spiritual growth and fulfillment, while rejecting it leads to emptiness. It’s an invitation to accept His grace and embrace a life aligned with His perfect will.
Matthew 8:12
But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Psalm 86:13
For great is thy mercy toward me and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
Mark 9:44
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
Matthew 10:28
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
