Why One Goes to Hell?

This episode explores the concept of sin as a governing power in the world, stemming from Adam’s original sin. It discusses how Jesus’ sacrifice put an end to sin and reconciled believers to God. The importance of following Christ’s example and living a righteous life is emphasized.


Key Points

Understanding Sin

• [0:46] Sin is defined as a sinful condition or a governing principle of darkness that rules over the world, not just individual sinful behaviors.
• [2:00] The word "hamartia" in Greek means to miss the mark or to err in judgment, as exemplified by Adam and Eve in the garden.
• [4:12] Sin is a condition that affects all of humanity due to Adam's sin, not just individual sins.

Jesus Takes Away the Sin of the World

• [6:20] Jesus came to take away the sin (singular) of the world, not just individual sins.
• [6:40] Jesus delivers us from the power of darkness and the governing authority of sin.
• [7:42] The sin that Jesus takes away is the governing forces of darkness that make people miss the mark.

Unbelief Leads to Hell

• [8:14] Sinful behaviors are a symptom of the underlying sin condition, not the root cause of why people go to hell.
• [9:34] People go to hell not because of their sins, but because of their unbelief in Jesus Christ.
• [11:14] Unbelief is the real reason people are condemned, not their sinful actions.
• [12:52] Even the Pharisees, who knew the truth, were condemned because of their unbelief in Jesus.
• [14:10] Unbelief, not sinful behaviors, is what causes people to die in their sins and go to hell.

The Power of Belief

• [15:18] Believing in Jesus Christ and His finished work is the key to salvation, not just moral behavior.
• [15:58] People are saved by faith, not by their own works or righteousness.
• [16:28] Unbelief is the root cause of condemnation, while belief in Jesus Christ is the path to eternal life.
