 Do millions of people think they believe in a literal hell? Sadly, yes. But here's something fun. Almost none of them do. Not really. Even the most abrasive, fire-and-brimstone preacher doesn't really believe in a literal hell. Here's how we can tell. If they allow themselves even a single banal luxury, they're proving they don't believe. How are you going to take your family to outback after church while millions of people are burning alive? Do you know how many people begin their eternal torment while you eat that soggy fried onion? Like 480. That's on you. So, some of you will be interested to know that this is John Piper's son. He's wrong, but let me explain why. Okay, so here are the factors at play. Number one, hell is real. Number two is that we are encouraged and commanded to evangelize and disciple. Number three is that God is sovereign over salvation. It's him that brings people from spiritual death into spiritual life, not us. And number four is that God has invited us to enjoy his good gifts on earth. Rest, family, food. A Christian that truly believes in hell according to what he believes is constantly in panic and is a Christian that doesn't have any understanding of God's sovereignty. A Christian that's never stirred to share the gospel has taken God's sovereignty as license to disobey him, which is not true. What we're missing here is Christ-like balance. Notice how the disciples and Jesus had time to rest and eat and preach. This is an evidence of a lack of belief, but rather a life grounded in truth and love.
