Would You Still Follow God If Hell Didn't Exist?

Image
Written by Esther Oluwole  Most of us have grown up believing that a belief in Jesus protects us from hell, but what if I told you that hell didn't exist? Would you still love Him? Pray? Obey? Pursue holiness? Or would you walk away? What if I told you that there are no eternal consequences waiting for you on the other side? No hellfire. No demons. No torment. No separation from God. No fear of hell whatsoever. Would you still decide to follow Jesus? Faith Based on Fear Genuinely, fear is a motivator. It gets people moving, requires obedience, and it's easy to convince a person to convert. This is why many churches leaned so easily into hellfire preaching-it works, on some level anyway. But fear doesn't create intimacy. Fear driven love doesn't last or grow genuine connection. And really, a relationship based on fear is fragile and toxic, and when the fear subsides-or is questioned- often the faith does as well. 1 John 4:18 reminds us, "Perfect love casts out fear...

Written By : CACLSEM MEDIA TEAM  Societal Pressure: The societal pressure for men to suppress their emotions and not show vulnerability has led to harmful stereotypes and mental health issues.

Impact of Suppressing Emotions: Suppressing emotions can feel like a pressure cooker about to explode, leading to negative consequences. Unexpressed emotions can manifest in harmful ways like increased stress, depression, substance abuse, and aggression. The societal expect...

EMBRACING PURITY

Written By: Adegbile Gbemisola & Oyewobi Damilola . Real purity comes as a result of believing that Lord Jesus died your place to ransom you from impurity. Pure living increases as you work together with the Holy Spirit to live as a redeemed child of God. Purity describes who you are and what you do.  Purity is being free from anything that contaminates. A pure life is the one in which sin no longer determines the choices one makes.  Being pure is synonymous with not having sin; the bible defines purity as abstaining from sin. Therefore, sexual purity is not the only definition of purity. However, thinking of purity solely in these ways misses the Bible's  teaching about what purity is. Looking at the Bible, we see that, it is speaking of something that is far deeper and more universal. Purity is more than just a sexual problem that should concern both men and women.  Purity Is About Wholeness Jesus stated, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God"...
