2. Judgment / Eternal Destinies / Hell

Jesus spoke of eternal loss more than He spoke of prayer or money. Gehenna appears eleven times in the Synoptics alone.

"Then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you. Go away from me, you lawbreakers!'"

Matthew 7:23

"Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the one who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."

Matthew 10:28

"And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out! It is better to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, where their worm never dies and the fire is never quenched."

Mark 9:47-48

"But I say to you that anyone who is angry with a brother will be subjected to judgment. And whoever insults a brother will be brought before the council, and whoever says 'Fool' will be sent to fiery hell."

Matthew 5:22

"I tell you the truth, it will be more bearable for the region of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town!"

Matthew 10:15

"I tell you, I do not know you."

Matthew 25:12

"Whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me."

Matthew 25:45

Parable of the Sheep and the Goats — Matthew 25:31-46

Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus — Luke 16:19-31

Woes to the Unrepentant Cities — Matthew 11:20-24

Parable of the Wedding Banquet — Matthew 22:1-14

Parable of the Dragnet — Matthew 13:47-50

What does it mean that Jesus spoke of eternal loss more than He spoke of prayer or money?

3. Faith

"Have faith in God!"

Mark 11:22

"I tell you the truth, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; nothing will be impossible for you."

Matthew 17:20

"Let it be done for you according to your faith."

Matthew 9:29

"Why are you cowardly, you people of little faith?"

Matthew 8:26

"Your faith has saved you; go in peace."

Luke 7:50

"I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers."

Luke 22:32

"However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?"

Luke 18:8

Where are you treating faith as an outcome to achieve rather than a posture to hold?
