To think of hell – Thomas Brooks

“To think of hell,” says one, “preserves a man from falling into it!” Says another, “He who does but hear of hell is, without any further labor or study, taken off from sinful pleasures.”

Surely men’s hearts are grown stupid, for how do most men run headlong to hell, and take a pleasure to dance hoodwinked into everlasting burnings!

Oh, had but the sinners of this day who swear and curse, drink and party, and drown themselves in fleshly pleasures, but one sight of this hell how would it shut their mouths, appall their spirits, and strike fear and astonishment into their hearts!

“Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28
