Awakened to Deliver – The Reality of Hell, Day 5: The Urgency of the Gospel
Key Verse: 2 Thessalonians 1:8–9 — “dealing out retribution to those who do not know God, and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. These people will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power.”
Episode Highlights
• Jesus spoke more about hell than heaven—not to scare us, but to awaken us to the urgency of salvation.
• Hell reveals the justice of God; the cross reveals His mercy. You can’t grasp one without the other.
• At Calvary, the wrath of God met the mercy of God—Christ took our separation so we could be saved (Isa. 53:5; Matt. 27:46).
• The Gospel isn’t advice or inspiration—it’s power to save (Rom. 1:16).
• Time is short; eternity is long (Jas. 4:14). Every heartbeat moves us closer to forever.
• The Church must recover urgency: “How will they hear without a preacher?” (Rom. 10:14–15).
• If you’ve been saved, you’ve been sent—the fire of the Spirit fuels evangelism, not entertainment.
• God holds believers accountable to warn the lost (Ezek. 3:18; Acts 20:26–27).
• Love tells the truth, even when it costs something. Silence is not compassion.
• The Gospel confronts sin and offers grace. Hell is real, but so is the cross—and grace still saves all who call on Jesus (Rom. 10:9).
• Now is the time to repent, believe, and share. The door of mercy is open, but not forever.
