who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,
There are many who detest the negative side of religion. We are to have love for God from within our hearts. This love for God may be motivated by fear at times while at other times motivated by respect for all He has done for us. Escaping hell is not even a consideration, for there is no way out, once we are there (see Mark 16:15 damned; Luke 13:3; Luke 13:5 perish; Matthew 10:33 denied; John 3:1-5 cannot enter the kingdom of God). These messages and many more are from the lips of our Lord.
