Rightly understanding and properly
responding to the gospel is of paramount importance. Nothing could have broader
or more profound consequences than being right or wrong about the content and
demands of the message that determines our placement in eternity. While that
seems self-evident, it is amazing how many people have taken little or no time
to seriously consider or diligently research what God has or has not said about
heaven and hell. It makes no sense that our knowledge of this topic would be
limited to the paltry concepts and limited explanations acquired from a few
three-page tracts or a short set of extra-biblical phrases picked up in Sunday
School or summer camp. We must all commit ourselves to assiduously studying the
biblical gospel and not simply traffic in the findings of others. Like “good
Bereans” (Ac.17:11), we must read God’s word with care to make sure that what
the preachers preach on this topic is actually what the Bible says. We must
never be satisfied with trite, shallow or superficial explanations when it
comes to the gospel. The message is too important and eternity is at stake.
Give this study your all and be sure about your findings!
