I guess it’s just if God exists, Hell exists.
For extreme good there has to be extreme bad.
For me, I could find comfort in God. Even if I struggle, he can help me find out things with Him. I guess sometimes I worry if I’m saved or not, but for the most part I want to dedicate my life to God, otherwise, life just seems to painful to want to try without good enough purpose in atheism. I’m a coward in that I want to avoid pain, and with God there is a reason for the pain, so I want to try.

I have hope with Him, but I just fear so much for unbelievers it makes me feel terrified that that can go to Hell. While many go to Hell, few go to Heaven and that terrifies me. More people go through eternal pain than eternal torment?
It makes me so terrified, and previously apart of me was upset at unbelievers, but now I feel so sad and miserable for them, because I don’t want them to end up with so much pain. Can I really seek God for rest, and have comfort in him trying to deal with my own addictions when people can be on the road to Hell? It’s hard to try to calm down, it’s hard to think there’s ever a relaxed point where every second, everything matters and there are such high stakes. I feel like I can never do enough to try to help.

And then in this worry, I also wonder, “How can I loving God send people to Hell?” I guess with all the talk of Hell, I think sometimes unbelievers may think God hates them, when that’s not the case, God died for us and sacrificed himself for us, out of love. Who would die for someone out of hatred?

Even despite this, I just want to question God why? Why do few have to go to heaven? Couldn’t he have made humans more loyal so we didn’t sin? Why does there have to be so much pain? Why did Adam and Eve ever have to sin?

I know I need God, without Him I get so confused and anxious in life, but worrying so much about others’ eternal punishment makes me frustrated with God at times even though he loves others too, much more than me, and even sent Jesus to sacrifice himself so we could even have a chance to be with Him and we never have to spend time in that awful place Hell.

I guess the fact that people will go to Hell, more than people going to heaven is inevitable just makes me so terrified. I love God, I shouldn’t question Him, I don’t even deserve to be saved, no one deserves to be saved to begin with because we’re all sinners but I find myself asking God so much, “did it really have to be this way? Do so much people have to suffer for eternity?”

Sometimes as horrible as it is, I think of what it would be like without God, I’d probably lose my mind because I wouldn’t have someone to rely on and things of this world are temporary, but people wouldn’t have to suffer for eternity.
These thoughts are so wrong, and that’s why I’m sharing them out, I don’t want to deal with them alone. I should love and thank God my own salvation.

I don’t care about universalism, or annihilationism. There is more proof for Hell being eternal pain than for these beliefs, so I don’t like lies to try to make people feel more comfortable. Lies about Hell just make it far worse, shouldn’t people be prepared. I even heard something about sinners having a second chance in reincarnation?! That is in no way biblical.

At the end, “it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.” Acts 9:5
I can’t wish what Hell is away. Unbelievers get scared and try to ignore it, as if that’ll stop it, but I can’t fight against God, I can’t fight against truth. I keep doing it, but it only hurts me. I want to try to have a more full relationship with God, I don’t want to get mad or upset at him, being eager to help unbelievers is good, but I don’t want to be so angry at God I resort to escapism.
I don’t know better than God, who am I to question Him and say life has to be painless. I wish it was, but I don’t know best, he does, so I need to stop struggling. Even though I get so mad at God, I just want to hug Him, I want to be comforted and rely on him because my anger at Hell doesn’t change that I need him so much.

Peace be with you Michael.
Good morning,
First, I will say, take time to study the Word of GOD and meditate on it and you will learn and discover a lot about GOD ALMIGHTY our HOLY and LOVELY FATHER.
GOD ALMIGHTY our GLORIOUS FATHER is Just. HE is just to man and just to the devil. HE never created hell for man but only for the devil. Man(male and female) has the free will to decide where to go whether to heaven or hell.
Because GOD loves man so much and it is not HIS Will for any man should perish; HE has made Salvation the most simplest thing on earth. To receive Salvation is easier than breathing and no one is asked to work for it but just to receive this free give from GOD. And GOD has made it in a way that all human being has the ability to receive Salvation.


Salvation is the most simplest thing to receive and the biggest miracle on earth.

Brother, this is what you should do for the dying souls that is the unbelievers:
- Fast and pray for them.
- Tell others about JESUS. Use the various means the LORD has made available to preach the Gospel with such as social, tv, radio, books, phones etc to tell others about JESUS. You can do this through the following:

- get involved in the spreading of the Gospel with your local Church.
- be partners with other churches to spread the Gospel.
- be partners with Christians Television Stations that spread the Gospel of JESUS all over the world. There are many Christians Television Stations around the world which you can Partner with them to take the Gospel all over the world like: CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network), TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network), LoveworldSAT or Loveworld USA, emmanuel.tv or scoan etc.


Use what GOD ALMIGHTY has given you to reach others with Gospel of JESUS. That's how you can help the dying souls.
Finally, you said, "I guess sometimes I worry if I’m saved or not, " If you have said with all your heart what the HOLY SPIRIT said in Romans 10:10 then you are saved. So, don't allow the devil to tell you that you are not save. We received Salvation by faith and not by feelings or thoughts.
Thanks for the post.
GOD bless you brother.

JESUS is LORD.

Thank you for responding to me about this and giving some advice! I’ve been so worried about this topic for awhile. I’ll keep seeking God and learning about Him!

Peace be with you Michael.

Michael, my heart hurts for you. I can feel how troubled your spirit is.

As a younger believer there was a time when all such and same thoughts were going through my head. And still, a stray one may cross my mind even now. To this day, I don't have all the answers. But I do have one answer. And that's that Jesus never disappoints. His ways are so infinitely more better than what we can ever imagine. You know when you're in a bad situation, and you can't possibly imagine how it could ever turn out good, but God turns a bad situation into something so beautiful for His purpose, and you arrive to a place of complete joy. If I place all my hope in God, He never fails. Maybe it would help you to read Psalms, it helped me so much back in the day. They really refresh the soul and uplift the spirit. They are full of praise and ward off grief. The crowds in Heaven, they all shout for joy. And what really matters is how much Psalms teach us about God's wonderful character. And that we can trust in Him to handle this whole situation. He is able to do all things that seem impossible and overwhelming to us.

We all have similar but slightly different ideas about afterlife after we read the Bible... It's true that we know and understand very little about eternal death, as compared to eternal life, except that we want to avoid it. It is certainly terrible that some people seem to be headed to and ending up in hell. But does it cross your mind that you only grieve about this because you are a child of God? It is coming on the same page with God, and having His Spirit, that brought you to grieve about this. This means that God feels the same about His handiwork, times gazillion... As God spoke into my heart once, when I pressed Him on these same questions,

"You do not love My creation more than Me",

Maybe, just maybe, the way things are is the only way it had to be... A rabbit jumps, a snake bites, a dog wags his tail. It's their nature. Human nature is, to explore every possibility. Which also caused mankind to fall. Otherwise, we would have been like an unborn baby in the womb. But God knew everything from the beginning. And the real workings of this world and of Heaven are hidden to our physical eyes. Behold He makes all things new, right now. He makes all things work for good, right now. Although we can't see it, it makes no sense to us with our earthly perspective. It is whooshing over our heads. What if we could really see what He sees, and know what He knows. In the meantime He wants us to have peace.

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Yeah even i sometimes worry about my salvation. When i watch the news, read tweets on twitter, and compare certain events to the bible i feel like there's not much time left for us, i believe there is a Jesus and i believe he was raised from the dead. I know he is the only way to Heaven, and in know God sent him for us. But a part of me feels like I'm not saved and so I'm left feeling scared at times throughout my days.

This is common I believe fo a lot of babes in Christ , well it was for me , the thought would nearly drive me to death...
How long have you been saved? , and to be honest , a born again child of God cannot lose their Salvation , and the fact that you think one can surely means you have been giving life , for a dead person in spirit would not ponder such things because they are spiritually dead...

Hi...
Being raised in a Christian family does not make one a Christian , it is God alone who saves us , not our earthly Father or Mother , but God alone...
We must be born again Spiritually , repenting off our sins , confessing Jesus Christ as our Lord , believing He died , was buried and raised from the dead...
We are dead in our sins , but we have life in Christ , only Jesus can save us , not family members...
