The Land Where People Never Go Free

Rev: 1:17-18

Nothing outside of life itself is more cherished than freedom: Man will give everything he posesses for that most precious thing. Yet there are countless thousands willing to throw away all hopes of that most cherished thing, and travel continually toward that land where they shall never be free.

1. These Keys lock all the Saved out of hell.

2.These Keys lock all of the Enemies from Christs purchased posessions:

Lk 16-17 "Neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence".

3. These Keys lock the lost into a place of Darkness. Fire, unrest. and Captivity. With this in mind I would like to share you a few thoughts about "The Land Where People Never Go Free"

1: There. People Never Go Free From Sin:

Num: 32-23 "But if ye will not do so, behold ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out."

(A) How tragic it is to be in a place where a person must continually have the burden of sin upon them forever. Brethren, when the burden of sin began to work upon my soul, I thought I was going to die.

(B) Can you imagine living forever with that burden on you every minute of every day. Never a hope of relief. Pitiful thought- yet it is true

2: There People Never Go Free From Shame:

Dan: 12-2 "And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt."

3: There. people never go free from sorrow:

Matt: 13-42 "And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

(A) In my time I have seen people express great sorrow for deeds they have done

Ill: I saw a man convicted of robbing a bank, break down and cry like a little child. In hell it will be millions of times worse.

(B) There will be in hell, sorrow for every christian whom they mocked, and slandered.

There will be sorrow for every Church that was criticized.

There will be sorrow for every person they helped lead astray.

There will be sorrow for every invitation one spurned:

4: There. People never go free from their senses:

Lk 16 One can fee v-23 One can speak v-24 One can taste v-24 One can remember v-25 One can hear v-26

(A) no doubt it would be much easier if these senses could escape, but hell is a land where nothing ever goes free:

(B) Even that awful sense of guilt will always be there, here if we can find some means to sooth our conscience, it makes the burden lighter, but no such thing will be there:

5: There People never go free from suffering:

Mk: 9-44 "Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched".

6: There, people never go free from satan:

Rev: 20-10 "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast, and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
