Somewhere in the process of explaining the Gospel to a non-believer, the following objection will be raised: “I could never believe in a God who would send someone to hell.” But as clearly as the Bible teaches that God received believers into heaven, so it teaches He sends nonbelievers to hell. Covers Revelation 20:11-15.
If most Christians knew heaven was a city, they might have second thoughts about going, until they found out what kind of city it is.

Covers Revelation 22:6-16.
It is not an accident that the Bible concludes with an invitation. Having heard the truth about the future, we are given five priorities to govern our lives and respond to the Gospel. Covers Revelation 22:17-21.
