Preaching the reality of hell without using the Law to bring people to the knowledge of sin can cause great harm to the cause of evangelism. The wicked cannot accept the idea of a loving God who could send someone to hell for punishment, because he is deceived by the concept that God’s standards of righteousness are their mesos. Paulo?Discuss with Felix about “justice, self-control and judgment to come”. (At 24:25). Is it the justice to which Felix was afraid in law and in the judgment provided for by law?because he suddenly realized that his disobedience made him a sinner in the eyes of the Holy God, and the reality of punishment in hell suddenly made sense to him. In this case, the Law was used to bring the sinner to the knowledge of sin.
Now imagine if the police knocked on his door, took him to jail and yelled at him, “Are you staying?Chess?” for a long season ?. That attitude of the police would certainly leave him upset and upset. The police would have done something totally irrational.
- However.
- Imagine that the law knocks on your door and explains in detail why you’re in trouble.
- “We found out you had 10.
- 000 feet of marijuana on your property.
- So you’re in custody and you’ll pay for the crime for a long time.
- “This time.
- At least.
- You understand the reason for your arrest.
- The knowledge of the Law we transgress does exactly that.
- Makes judgments.
- Or judgments.
- Quite logical and reasonable.
- That is.
- Without using the Law to show the sinner the reason for God’s wrath against him.
- Will it make him angry and rebel?and rightly so.
- After all.
- You will not understand the reason for the punishment and apply your personal logic to understand the problem.

Attention:
1) If you understood that you should not talk about hell, you were wrong, the post talks about those who only talk about hell, without giving the reason why people go there
2) If you understood that you should only talk about the law, you were wrong. Preaching the law alone is also not preaching the gospel, the law is the help that leads us to Christ and the instrument through which knowledge of our sin comes. When a person is deeply aware of his sin, talk about the Good News!
