Day #1
Dear John,
I died today ... It's a lot different than I expected. You see, I always
thought dying would bring me into a world that is foggy and hazy. But this
place is crystal clear...it is even more real than life on earth. I still
have a body and can think, talk, and feel. Right now they have me in a line
getting registered I guess. John, I am kind of afraid. The attendants around
me don't look too happy...and just on ahead at the front of the line I can
see a little sign that says Hades on it. One thing is for sure...this sure
ain't Heaven. John...I'm afraid. Am I going to burn in hell?
Your friend,

Day #2
John,
HELP! It's worse than I ever anticipated. I am surrounded by darkness, yet
I can still feel the flames. I can smell my flesh as it burns. I am dead yet
alive. I am in agonizing pain. I am thirsty...my whole body feels like it is
about to explode. Oh John, why can't I die? Why won't God just let me die?
But there is hope...they say there is a Judgment Day coming up where we
will stand before God and He will judge our case and lives personally.
Friend, my beloved friend John, I hope you never come here! I hope no one
else will ever have to suffer like this. I am in pain.
Your friend,
Frank

Judgment Day
Dear John,
Today was Judgment Day. The hope I previously had is now but a distant
memory. Now I know nothing but terror awaits me. The flames await to consume
my flesh eternally. When my name was called, I went to stand before the
Great White Throne. He who sat up on it called for the Book of Life...as he
scanned its pages, I looked at the multitude of angels and believers behind
His throne. Then I couldn't believe what I saw. As I focused my eyes I
spotted you among the saints. There you were awaiting eternal bliss while I
awaited eternal damnation. You sang songs of joy while I screamed shrieks of
terror. Suddenly the voice of the enthroned God caught my attention, "Your
name has not been found in the book, therefore I sentence you to burn in
Gehenna, the lake of fire forever...without hope....without escape." I am
terrified as I await my punishment. I have no hope.
Your friend,
Frank

Day After Judgment Day
John,
I can feel my heart pounding in my chest. The angels who have been
designated to cast me into the lake of fire are coming down the hallway.
I can hear their footsteps. I have heard about this Gehenna. They say it
is worse than Hades. How can it be? I cannot bear it. The angels are at
the door. Oh no...NO! They are opening it and they are looking at me, John,
they are grabbing me and carrying me out of the room! I can already smell
the burning sulfur and brimstone. I can see the edge of the cliff where Hell
burns! John this is it! I am without hope! We are coming closer, closer! My
heart is bursting with fear. They are holding me out over the edge of
Hell...I am dangling over its flames! I am damned forever! They have thrown
me in! FIRE!! PAIN!! HELL!! WHY JOHN?!! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT JESUS?
Your friend,
Frank

 Revelation 21:11-15
Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky
fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead,
great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another
book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according
to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead
that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them,
and each person was judged according to what he had done. Then death and
Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second
death. If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was
thrown into the lake of fire.

Romans 3:23-26
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God and are justified freely by his
grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice
of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because
in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished -- he did it to
demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies
those who have faith in Jesus.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ
Jesus our Lord.
Romans 5:8
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners,
Christ died for us.
Romans 10:8-10
The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart, that if you confess
with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised
Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto
righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Romans 10: 13-15
Everyone who calls in the name of the Lord will be saved. How, then, can they call
on one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in one of whom they have
not heard? And how can they hear without preaching to them? And how can they preach
unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who
bring Good News!"
