STEEMCHURCH: What to do to avoid going to hell?
Because every human being for transgressing the laws of God, must be punished to a perpetual sentence in hell to be tortured as a just punishment for transgressing the moral laws of the Creator God.
SOURCE
God is the Creator of the Universe and in his Universe he established his laws.
He endowed the human being with free will, but established moral laws.
God is holy, without moral evil and therefore he hates evil, but evil is not an entity, evil is committed by the person, that is why God hates the transgressor of his moral laws, that is, God hates the sinner.
The laws of God mark that who transgresses them must die, the first death is only physical, but the second death is to be punished forever in the lake of fire and brimstone, after having been judged by the transgressions to the moral laws of God (the sins).
Ignorance of God's laws does not exempt one from punishment.
God is the judge of the whole universe, of the whole earth and as a judge he must exercise punishment and judgment on the sinner, if he left the sinner unpunished, God would be a bad judge.
God will judge every person for the acts they have committed in life.
It is enough that you have stolen a single coin, that you have deceived someone, so that you have transgressed the moral laws of God, that is, so that you have sinned against God and become worthy of His just judgment and eternal punishment.
If in fact you are interested not to end up in hell and then in the second death be thrown into the lake of fire, you must first understand that you have a very serious problem.
You are a transgressor of the moral laws of God and you sin against God when you worship another who is not God.
When you worship idols or images, when you worship or pray to saints or virgins, being that only Jesus Christ, God the Son, is the only mediator between God and human beings.
You are a sinner when you have prayed or invoked angels or spiritual guides.
You are a sinner when you are a follower, worshiper and have made a pact with saints, with demons, with Lucifer (also known as alias Satan).
You are a sinner and a transgressor of the laws of God when you have consulted your future in horoscopes, when you consult with fortune-tellers, sorcerers, wizards, or yourself practicing witchcraft, witchcraft, santeria, vodoo, etc.
You have sinned against God when you borrowed money or something else and did not give it back by becoming a thief.
You have sinned against God, by committing sexual immorality even only in your mind, even if you have not concreted it physically, by masturbating, committing lust, fornication, adultery.
It is enough that only once you have masturbated, or had sex outside of marriage, or that you are homosexual to be a transgressor of the moral laws of God.
SOURCE
They are your moral laws by which you will be judged, not by your opinion of your actions.
If you have incurred and continue to engage in drunkenness you are a transgressor of God's moral laws, drunkenness is a sin, it does not matter if your body has an allergic reaction to alcohol, the radical solution to that is total abstinence from alcohol.
That you alter your judgment using drugs is a sin against God.
These are some examples, of what is transgression to the law of God, of a sin.
If you have broken only one of God's moral laws, you are in sin.
If you have committed even just one sin, and surely you have done so, you are a sinner.
That brings you the biggest problem you can ever have.
Because God hates the sinner. As the Bible clearly states in several passages such as:
"You hate all evildoers. You will destroy those who speak lies. The Lord will abhor the bloodthirsty and deceitful man "Psalm 5: 5 - 6
"God is a just judge. And God is angry with the wicked every day "Psalm 7: 11
Because you have transgressed His laws, the laws established by the Creator of the Universe, the highest authority that exists.
And if you have transgressed his laws, you deserve the just punishment of God, you deserve to be tortured forever in the lake of fire.
Judgment
Every human being after physical death, continues to exist and will be presented before God, to receive judgment, a book will be opened and that person will be judged by all the things that he did, and his actions will be seen before the law of God, of the The only God who has no beginning or end, of the God who is the judge of the entire universe and who can not ignore the transgressions of his law.
That person will then hear all their actions, all their acts that transgressed the law of God, when he lied, when he stole and when he was a single coin, when he cheated, when he committed lust, when he borrowed money and did not pay it, when another offended and he did not forgive the offense.
Judgment.
By reading all of his acts that have been transgressions to the law of God, he will be found GUILTY, of transgressing the laws of the Creator God.
He will be sentenced. For having transgressed the laws of God, of the Supreme Authority of the Universe, not the laws of mortal men, then the sentence is to be punished with endless torture in the lake of fire and brimstone.
Perhaps at that moment this person already sentenced to eternal torture, looking at the majesty of God, and seeing that compared to Him, is nothing, take courage and dare to utter a word asking for mercy, does not dare to bribe God, because even if he was a millionaire on earth, there in that sad reality he already has nothing and sees and experiences the reality that whoever has the power to judge and sentence him to fire is God.
In that situation, no angel, no spirit or no one can help you.
And dare to say, Lord, have mercy, do not send me to the lake of fire, is there any other option?
To which God could answer that as judge of the whole Universe, He has to exercise justice, and punish the transgressor of his laws, because if he did not, he would be a bad judge, but He is a just judge and his punishments are just, and NOT he is bound to have mercy on anyone.
And one sin, one is enough to make one sinner, and God has to exercise justice and apply his law, the sinner must die, if God did not apply justice would be a bad judge, God does not overlook the sin, because God is Saint and just judge, and does not overlook what the sinner does.
Good deeds that one does in no way erases or neutralizes our sins. Giving money in the church, helping the poor, reading the Bible, reciting prayers in no way neutralizes or erases our sins.
But when you recognize that you have sinned against God and therefore recognize that God as a just judge has to punish you and that the punishment you as a sinner deserve is the second death in the lake of fire, so that you will be eternally tortured because you have transgressed the moral laws of God, and you can see yourself as a sinner who deserves the just punishment of God, you can see your grave problem.
The just punishment you deserve from the Divine Judge is the second death, is to be punished forever in the lake of fire and brimstone.
God in his mercy has arranged that if you repent of your sins against Him, to leave your evil ways, and recognize that you have sinned against God, deserving His just punishment and believe that Jesus is the Son of God, God Himself made flesh and bone, and that he took your place to be crucified and died on the cross, receiving the death penalty that you should receive, believing that Jesus took your place, that he paid the price for the punishment you deserve, then believing that, God justifies you by your faith in Jesus.
That means that if you believe in Jesus according to the above, even though you are really a GUILTY sinner, God gives you judgment as Not Guilty, because Jesus the Christ took your place as a sinner, and you put your faith in Him.
Thus Jesus died in your place, for your sins, so that you do not have to go to hell for your sins, nor be tortured forever in the lake of fire.
Jesus died occupying your place, he received in his place the judgment and penal punishment corresponding to the judgment of God.
The salvation that God disposes through believing in Jesus is available to every human being, but only works for those who repent of their sin, leaving their evil deeds and believing in Jesus Christ, God the Son, as the one who occupied his place on the cross.
Jesus after dying, rose again with power, because it is God himself made flesh and bone, is God the Son, and he put his life, and death can not retain it.
Jesus then departed to heaven with the Heavenly Father, to sit at the right hand of the Heavenly Father who occupies his throne in the kingdom of heaven, but in due time, he himself, Jesus the Son of God, will return to earth to receive all the kingdoms of the earth, and to rule them with a rod of iron, with justice, filling the earth with his glory and with the kingdom of God.
Jesus will be the King over all the earth, King over Israel and over all the other kings that he puts over the other nations, that's why he is called King of Kings.
Do you recognize that you are a sinner and a transgressor of the laws of God, that you have sinned against the Supreme Creator and Judge of the Universe?
Do you recognize that in sinning against God, you deserve to receive His righteous judgment and His just punishment, and that you deserve endless torture, for having transgressed your moral laws?
Do you believe that Jesus is the Son of God, God Himself made flesh and blood, and knowing that you have sinned against God, and that you deserve the just punishment of God in hell, Do you believe that Jesus died as payment for your sins, that Jesus took your place on the cross and received your punishment?

The things that Jesus did, some of them, he did many and they are written in the gospels, they were written so that you believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God and so that believing in him, you can have eternal life, even after of physical death. (John 20:31)
If you already believe in Jesus, then you can be justified by Him for your sins, repent of your sins, not committing them again, renouncing them, to maintain your clean condition before God.
Some people believing this truth will have a willing heart and God will work in them, through his Holy Spirit so that they can be born again, move from spiritual death to spiritual life, have a new spiritual nature, which as Jesus pointed out It is an indispensable requirement to enter heaven and not go to hell, which is where every human being should go as a punishment for his transgressions to the law of God.
