When a Brother or Sister in the wind passes away, I have heard that he or she joined the Forever Chapter.

It’s almost like we believe they are all in one place and are all better off. Friend, I really wish it were so. But the fact of the matter is they are in one of two Forever Chapters.

One is Forever Heaven and the other Forever Hell. Like the names imply, these are forever. You can never retire out or change chapters. Once you are in, it is final!

Hebrews 9:27 “Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment.”

I have often heard Brothers joke about the Forever Chapter being Hell and they will all see each other there and party and ride together forever. According to the Word of God, Hell is no party and no ride, but most certainly is forever.

Luke 16:23 “In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up.”

Mark 9:48 “Where ‘the worms that eat them do not die, and the fire is not quenched.’”

Revelation 14:11 “And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night.”

That doesn’t sound like a good time to me. As a matter of fact, some who are there would like to warn the ones they love to not come there.

Luke 16:28 “I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.”

I have been around those who seem to think all Brothers and Sisters go to the Forever Chapter called Heaven. It makes you feel better about
losing them, but unfortunately it is not true.

Matthew 7:13-14 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad
is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

Not all are there, but this is the Chapter I want you to join.

Revelation 21:4 “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

Revelation 21:23 “The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.”

Revelation 21:27 “Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.”

I would say there is a pretty clear choice.

How do you join Forever Hell Chapter? Do nothing, you are on your way already.

John 3:18 “Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.”

How do you join Forever Heaven Chapter? Repent of your sin and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. This “believing in” means to put 100% faith and trust in, not just “yeah, I believe in Jesus” ho hum.

Our sin cost Jesus’ life and that should change the way you think about how you have lived your life so far.

Mark 1:15 “‘The time has come,’ he said. ‘The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!’”

John 3:15-16 “That everyone who believes may have eternal life in Him. For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

There you have it, friend. You got to read about the two Forever Chapters and the requirements to get in each one. I hope you will join me in the Forever Heaven Chapter. Remember, there is no exit from either one.

If you chose the Forever Heaven Chapter you need to tell others about your choice, get baptized, join a good Bible preaching church, read your Bible and pray every day and fellowship with other Brothers and Sisters in Christ.
