C.H. Spurgeon Quotes

By C.H. Spurgeon

HELL -JESTING ABOUT

Sinners in hell are not the fools they were on earth; in hell they do not laugh at everlasting burnings; in the pit they do not despise the words, “eternal fire.” The worm that never dieth, when it is gnawing, gnaws out all joke and laughter; you may despise God now, and despise me now for what I say, but death will change your note. 130.191 So will it be with any of you who have ridiculed the gospel of Christ, you will find in the great and terrible day of the Lord, that your laughter shall have no power over death, and win you no reprieve from the agonies of hell. There will be no room for infidelity in that tremendous day. God will be all too real to you when he tears you in pieces, and there is none to deliver; and the judgment will be all too real when the thunder claps shall wake the dead, and the books shall be opened and read by the blaze of lightning, and the sentence shall be pronounced, “Depart, ye cursed!” 823.425 Those who are evermore making light of hell are probably doing it in the hope of making it easy for themselves. 1951.143 Remember, you can be laughed into hell, but you can never be laughed out of it. 3512.238
