If you go to hell, you will learn that it is even worse than being burned in actual fire. Fire was as close as Jesus could come to describing hell in a way you could understand even partially.
You cannot understand here and now because you do not grasp how unutterably horrible it will be to be separated from the love of God forever and ever.
And, as excruciating the pain of hell will be, it will be made worse and worse. There will be a demon, or Satan himself, who will remind you of the time, or times, when you were presented with the Word of God during your life. Maybe it was a preacher man who said something like
“Receive Jesus Christ right now as your Savior and Lord.” But you did not.
Maybe it was a book or pamphlet that told you that your religious practices were not going to help you escape the judgment, and that only by turning right now and accepting God’s free gift of salvation, could you be saved from the wrath of God. But you did not.
Maybe you figured out that you would make it to heaven when you died, because when you looked around at others, and how they lived, you compared yourself and you decided you were so much “better” that you would be OK.
Maybe the church or other group you belonged to told you that as long as you were “in good standing with them” you would be saved finally.
Maybe you will be reminded of reading this very tract, and that you laughed at it or ignored it as from some fanatic.
The Bible declares that "there is none righteous, no not one" (Romans 3:10).
Works do not help here. "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: It is the "GIFT" of God, not of works, lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9).
"But God demonstrates His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died "FOR" us" (Romans 5:8).
"Being now declared righteous by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him" (Romans 5:9).
"The righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that BELIEVE" (Romans 3:22).
Romans 5:15-21 tells of God's FREE GIFT of His righteousness and eternal life. "...so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 5:21).
Receive Christ now ! "AS ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord..."(Colossians 2:6). In Him is forgiveness of sins, God's perfect righteousness, and sure hope of heaven.
"In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation..." (Ephesians 1:13).
There is no other way. "In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ" (2 Thessalonians 1:8).

We don't change God's message -- His message changes us.

Mr Rodger Tutt, if you die without Jesus, you will go to Hell, and when you ask God Why? He will tell you He sent the Crusader and you would not listen.
