I’m scared that I am going to hell

Hello Friend, Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Saviour?

This thought is not yours, nor from God. Thoughts that come from God are accompanied by peace and hope. It is from the enemy so just ignore it and pray. It will probably bother you again, just don't let it upset you. You just pray calmly.

Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the Lord is understanding. Your holy fear of the Lord is good. So don't worry, He won't let you fall. God bless .

So for a while now I keep having these thoughts in my mind that I’m going to hell or I’ve sold my soul. I always try to tell myself no and pray right then but the thought comes back. I’ve had many nights where I just can’t sleep because I’m so scared. Some days I even find myself repeating “please lord” in my head for protection. Every time I pray I still feel scared after. How do I get better? Am I going to hell?

Basically, the only way into Hell is to curse God. And you can stop cursing God
and ask for forgiveness, so even that's not permanent.

Helping other people is your solution to stop worrying about
yourself and think of others instead. God likes that.

EPHESIANS.6: = 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
_ _ _ _ _ _ _

Have faith/trust/belief in God and His Word, eg ...

JOHN.3:16 = For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

The fear you have is not good and is not the "fear of the Lord." In fact, it is the spirit of fear, of which God DOES NOT give. Tell the thoughts to go away a never come back. Try not to get emotionally attached to them....and they will flee.....

If you have accepted Jesus, Then you are held securely by Him, If not then you need you need to do this right now and do not wait friend.

If you don't believe in God (ie: recognise and bow to his absolute authority), why would you worry about sin?

If you do believe in God, you will repent of your sin.

If you worry about sin but don't believe in God, ask yourself why?

Just like you move on in your physical life stages, you must move on in your spiritual growth stages and God will push you out of the nest when it's time to move or straighten up from bad habits to move on .. It may seem Jesus is leaving you on your own and he does hide his presence from you to recognize what happens without him when you go astray, get back in the Word and catch up to where you should be , replace and renew your carnal mind with the truth of the Word so you will continue to learn how to act and react according to the Word .. You'll be more than fine before you know it, serious business Bro but with a great payoff like you never imagined ..

What is it that makes you think or believe that you are a Christian?
If you are unable to say why you think/believe you are a Christian. May I suggest that you talk to your minister.

If you are trusting in Jesus for your salvation, then you need to start trusting in his promise that it is Jesus who holds on to your faith and that he will never let you go.

If you belong to Christ (i.e. have given yourself to Him), ... you can't sell your soul.

It no longer belongs to you.

Romans 8:9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.

You now belong to Christ/God ... and noone can take you from their hands.

John 10

27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.

So ... rest in His hands. He can hold on to you ...

Romans 5: NASB
1Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. 3And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; 4and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; 5and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

6For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. 8But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. 10For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. 11And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

12Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned— 13for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.

15But the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. 16The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification. 17For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

18So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men. 19For as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous. 20The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, 21so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.


Matthew 11: NASB
25At that time Jesus said, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. 26“Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight. 27“All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.

28“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. 29“Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. 30“For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

I wouldn't be worried one bit

Hell isn't a place, if it were it would be preceded by an entirely different word in the NT scriptures

Might I suggest you do a word study on the Greek words for " in " and how the word is used in the verses ?

Might alleviate some of your unnecessary stress

So what happens to the wicked when they die?

Good question, have you looked to the concordances yet ?

There are really two separate meanings:

HELPS Word-studies

nekrós (an adjective, derived from nekys, "a corpse, a dead body") – dead;

~ literally, "what lacks life"; dead

~ figuratively " not able to respond to impulses, or perform functions ("unable, ineffective, dead, powerless,"; unresponsive to life-giving influences (opportunities); inoperative to the things of God

I've looked as many words in books. And I have an opinion and interpretation of them..... I wanted to know what yours was....since you mentioned an uncommon view. I am fine if you are unwilling to share it as well. But i need not see words in other languages and definitions.

Probably because you were never born again or you simply have blind faith without evidence to support your beliefs .

So you either need to be born again to begin with or supply your Christian walk with evidence .

When you become born again you simply know that you were born again . I'll send the gospel on private message if you would like to read .

But if you only stumbled on something which crushed your faith for a while ( even John the Baptist lost faith that Christ was Messiah once ) , then simply go back to the Gospel 1 Corinthians 15:1-4

It says , Christ died according to Scriptures.

Read Isaiah 53 chapter , 700 years before Christ was born speaking on what will he do . Look what Exodus 12 said . Christ was our passover , fullfilled that prophecy to the day , when every Jew was killing lamb Jesus as Lamb of God was being killed on cross .

There are like 300 + prophecy which Jesus fullfilled .

For those who believe in God already.
For the rest, Sin is not counted.
