Every soul is immortal—but not every immortal soul will spend eternity in heaven. In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef addresses a reality many avoid: Scripture teaches both heaven and hell are real, and false teachers increasingly deny these foundational truths.
Drawing on C. S. Lewis’ reasoning, Dr. Youssef underscores the heart of the issue: God’s love is so great that He entered human history, suffered, and died to rescue sinners—yet He does not force salvation on those who refuse His gift. The Bible is clear that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23)—eternal separation from God—yet the Gospel is equally clear: eternal life is offered freely by grace.
Revelation describes the eternal consequence for those who reject Christ as “the second death” (Revelation 21:8), but it doesn’t end with warning—it extends an open invitation from Jesus Himself: to the thirsty, He gives water without cost from the spring of the water of life, making repentant sinners His children forever (Revelation 21:6–7). This episode calls you to weigh the Truth seriously—and to run to the Savior who alone delivers from judgment and secures everlasting life.
Prayer: God, thank You for saving me from hell and to heaven. Grant me courage to share Your Good News with those around me. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand” (John 10:27-28).
