Amen, Not Many Are Thrown Into Hell

For the Son of man came to save [from the penalty of eternal death] that which was lost. What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray and gets lost, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountain and go in search of the one that is lost? And if it should be that he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not get lost. Just so it is not the will of My Father Who is in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost and perish. Matthew 18:11-14

The Truth is that our Father’s will is that none of us should be lost. Let me ask you this, does our Father get His way? I mean if our Father wants something, doesn’t He get it. What would be the point of being God, if you wanted something and didn’t get it?

Here is another thing I want to ask you, if it was the Truth that most of humanity was going to Hell, why did Jesus just use the example of only one sheep going astray? Why didn’t He say that ninety-nine went astray?

Jesus came to save the lost from the penalty of Hell. Ask yourself this as well, did Jesus really succeed at saving the lost or did He only kinda of succeed, saving only a few? There is a Hell and there will be at least one person thrown into it, Matthew 22:12. However, we are repeatedly shown through Jesus’ parables that not that many of us are thrown into it. In this parable Jesus uses an example of only one going astray. In the parable of the Wedding Supper Jesus only tells us of one person being thrown into Hell.

People will undoubtedly bring up Matthew 22:14, many are called but only a few are chosen. This is true, many are called to be the Bride of Christ. Many are called to become one with Jesus, but only of few of us have been chosen to be His Bride. This does not mean that those who were not chosen are thrown into Hell. It just means that they are guests at the Wedding Feast, which is another term for eternity. In the Parable of the Wedding Feast Jesus tells us of guests, a bride is not a guest at her own wedding. So the glorious Truth is that there are others there. These guests are the others who were not called to be the Bride. They were saved from the penalty of eternal death through Jesus’ sacrifice, but they were not called to rule and reign with Him. Our Father's will is fulfilled, the lost are saved. Some are saved from Hell and are called to be the Bride and others are saved from hell and called to be the guests. Jesus succeeded and our Father gets His way!

I know that these daily postings are short. I could write for pages on this Truth. What this devotional is designed to do is to spark your interest in the Truth and then the Holy Spirit will guide you into a full study. Just you and Him and He will show you the Truth that will set you free.
