I have heard so many people lately say that God is love, therefore He won't REALLY send people to hell! Some even think that the devil himself will be saved! That is why it is so very important for the lost AND born again believers to understand the Truth behind today's Faith Food by Kenneth E. Hagin!
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Rom. 3:23).
Man did the unthinkable! Given dominion over all the works of God's hand, Adam was originally the god of this world. But Adam knowingly committed high treason against God by selling out to Satan the dominion which God had originally given him.
Adam's treason was done on such a legal basis that God could not annul the contract He had made with Adam, and which Adam had passed on to Satan. Hence, Satan, not Adam, became the god of this world (2 Cor. 4:4). And thus began Satan's destructive reign.
So spiritual death—which is separation from God—came to man. When God came down in the cool of the day to walk and talk with Adam, God called, "Adam, where art thou?" And Adam said, "I hid myself." He was separated from God!
Another aspect of spiritual death—having Satan's nature—also came to man. The devil became man's spiritual father.
Notice Jesus said to the Pharisees, "Ye are of your father the devil..." (John 8:44). Man is spiritually a child of the devil. He partakes of his father's nature. This explains why man cannot be saved by conduct.
Man cannot stand in the presence of God as he is, having the nature of his father, the devil, in him. If man is ever saved, he must be saved by someone paying the penalty for his sins, and someone giving him a new nature.
When God gave Adam dominion, He wasn't holding anything back! When Adam gave away his authority over the earth, satan had every right to lay claim! God's great plan of Salvation was to send God the Son to be born as a human being, of a human mother, by the Holy Spirit, so that He did NOT inherit the sin nature passed on by Adam. Jesus was/is 100% God and 100% man! THAT is why He IS the perfect Mediator between both! He lived on the earth NOT as God, but as a sinless, Word of God obeying Man! His death on the cross was on account of OUR sin! He BECAME sin with our sin, obliterating it forever! The ONLY sin not dealt with forever by Jesus is the sin of rejecting Him! HE gave US the authority and dominion back, but we must KNOW it and EXERCISE it! AMEN! God does not send anyone to hell! Hell was reserved for the devil and his angels that rebelled against God. It was never meant for mankind, BUT, those who refuse Jesus remain under the devil's dominion! Any person in hell will be there by there own CHOICE! Will a God of love send people to hell? He already did everything He could do to keep us OUT of hell! What have YOU done with that precious and eternal GIFT?
