Unadaptable

As humans beings, we adapt to our surroundings. Although our surroundings may prove to be unbearable for a time, we eventually become accustom to our sufferings and provide a way to slightly ease the burden we carry. Nonbelievers are able to do this with hardship and despair, but believers are better at it since it is our heavenly Father which provides the necessary means to adapt to hardship. In either case, it is His grace which gives all human beings this ability. So what happens when God lifts His grace? Well, at that moment in time the person who has experienced God’s lifting of His grace is now and forever experiencing hell. Hell is a place so vile, so miserable, so despondent, so fearful, so hateful, so painful, and on and on that one cannot begin to fathom what it is like to be there. Hell isn’t a fixed degree of suffering. Hell will forever grow more and more towards that which it already is. If there ever was a point at which a soul could adapt to its hellish surrounds, the degree of suffering will increase. For eternity hell will increase in suffering. No one will adapt to hell and just suffer quietly. Each new “day” will bring on a whole new set of sufferings. This will continue forever without end. Why will this happen? Why is there an ever increasing degree of suffering? Because it is actually God Himself which will be inflicting His righteous judgment on those souls who exist in hell. God is eternal. God isn’t limited. He doesn’t run out of judgment and wrath. Just as we will continue to learn of Him every “day” and will continue to grow in awe of Him every “day” when we go to live with Him in heaven, so those in hell will forever experience His deepening wrath upon them. May this always remind us to pray fervently for the salvation of man’s soul.

  2. I heard a preacher on TV one time say that the worst part about hell was not the torment, but the fact that God knew you were there and he wasn’t ever going to do anything about it. Now that is horrifying.
