The Making of Hell, Heaven, and a Loving God

Series: Eternal Life

Sr Pastor Noah Pinto

The teaching that we discuss is found on our website entitled, "Hell, Heaven, and a Loving God." https://www.raisedfaith.org/heavenorhell/ "Side Note: As leaders, I am not saying we should not teach or preach about God’s judgment. God is just and righteous and will do what He must to protect His people (Revelation 6:11, Revelation 20:9–10); however, right now–as Christians, we see Him as a loving Father who wants to forgive the sins of the world rather than condemn people to hell (John 3:16)."

Episode Notes

Foundational Scriptures

John 3:15–17 (NKJV)15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

2 Peter 3:9 (NKJV)9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

Matthew 25:46 (NKJV)46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

John 17:3 (NKJV) 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

2 Thessalonians 1:9–10 (NKJV)9 These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, 10 when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.

Revelation 20:9–10 (NKJV)9 They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. 10 The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

1 John 4:17–18 (NKJV)17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

Revelation 21:2–5 (NKJV)2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” 5 Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”
