Heaven and Hell Everyone has a soul. Every soul has a destiny. In the Bible, God explains that every soul will be judged. God warns humanity that during the judgment we will receive a one-way ticket to eternity. The Bible also teaches us that we have two choices during this life. We are given free will to serve and honor God through Jesus Christ who is in Heaven, or we are free moral agents to choose Satan who will reside in Hell. Heaven is good. Hell is evil. The fact that God created the soul of humanity with an eternal destiny should have a significant impact on our choices and priorities. The benefits and splendor of Heaven are greater than the punishments and tortures of Hell. The Bible describes Hell as a place of darkness, a lake of fire and brimstone. Matthew 25:41 describes Hell as a pit of fire prepared for Satan the devil, his demonic cohorts, and other souls who chose to serve him during the trials of life on earth. The citizens of Hell will be populated with the souls of those who died without accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. These souls will experience the gnashing of teeth, the endless pain of torturing fire, and ultimately, eternal death. The citizens of Hell will not gather in the presence of God. The Bible states in Luke 16:19-28 that souls cannot pass from Hell to Heaven or vice versa. Fire is not the only form of eternal punishment. Eternal thirst and great pain are other forms of punishment that the citizens of Hell will experience. Christians believe that souls in Hell will be able to see souls in Heaven and vice versa. The souls in Hell simply chose a life of sin, unrepentance, and rebellion against the Word of God. Revelation 20:12-15 states the following: "And the devil, who had deceived them, was cast into the lake of burning brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet were cast. They will be tormented day and night for eons of eons."Once upon a time. Satan the devil was an angel. Some say his former position in Heaven was equivalent to that of a modern choir director. Satan was responsible for leading praise and worship to God. Satan became greedy for power and led a rebellion to overthrow God. Satan was relieved of his duties and disfellowshipped from the angelic ranks.
