“And they (demons) begged Him that He would not command them to go out into the abyss.” – Luke 8:31
These were demons “fallen angels” begging Jesus not to be sent into the abyss.
That abyss is hell.
They know it’s real.
They know it’s terrifying.
Even they don’t want to spend eternity there.
Yet some people say with pride:
“I don’t mind going to hell.”
I’ll party there with my friends.”
But do we really understand what we’re declaring?
Hell isn’t a joke.
It’s not a hangout spot.
It’s a terrifying place created for evil spirits and even they don’t want to go.
Jesus described hell as a place
“where the worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.”
The worm is regret and anguish that never ends.
The fire is a constant reminder that you rejected the gift of salvation Jesus offered.
Hell is complete and eternal separation from the presence of God.
God is life. There’s no life in there. Only death, filled with misery, torment, and suffering.
God is light. Hell is absolute darkness.
God is love, joy, and peace. None of that exists in hell.
Hell is everything God is not.
And that’s what makes it truly terrifying.
But here’s the good news:
Jesus came to save us from that place.
In heaven, God wipes away every tear.
There is no more pain. No more sorrow.
Only life, light, love, joy, and peace Because He dwells with us.
So if demons begged not to go to hell?
Why are we acting like it’s nothing?
