Will I go to hell?

Jesus came for the sick/ sinners/ cowardly to give courage, health, life.

Look to Jesus.

Trust Jesus. HE is THE DELIVERER, SAVIOR, REDEEMER, GIVER OF COURAGE "BE STRONG AND OF GOOD COURAGE" as a gift from JESUS, with wholeness, with healing, as He Says in His Word.

You are also a murderer perhaps read this :

1 John 3:15
“Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.”

Matthew 5:21-22 King James Version (KJV)
21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

That's why we all come short of glory of God Romans 3:10 , Romans 3:23 .
Nobody is righteous that's why Christ came to die for you on cross to pay the penalty for your sins , if you believe that he did it for you then you get eternal life .

1 Corinthians 15:1-4

Salvation is not of works
Ephesians 2:8-9 , Galatians 2:16

Payment for sins was accomplished by Christ alone Hebrews 10:5 , Hebrews 10:11-15

Hebrews 10:11-23 King James Version (KJV)
11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

You need to become born again or else you cannot enter the Kingdom of God , you can't do that by working your way to heaven because you alredy sinned and failed , but Christ lived perfect life without sin and his righteousness is accounted to you if you believe in him.

We have all fallen short of God's glory and we continue to do so. We are saved by His Grace through faith Eph 2:8-9 and this not of ourselves, it is a gift of God. Repent of your sin and sin no more
Remember Romans 10:9-13 :]

A child of God might land on his butt a few times, but by the hand of our Father God is lifted up to walk again. God loves you like a Father loves His Child. He looks at where you are going, helps you return home to Him, and slips and falls along the way, He forgives because he sees your heart doesn't want to do that again.

You think? Does this mean you are or you are guessing?
The verse is true bit whether or not you fall into that group.is not known. I would pray for courage then use the courage to ensure my eternal home in heaven

You are not cowardly.

You are a child of God ... who sometimes experiences lack of faith (temptations to cowardice).

I view the gift of God to men (salvation) as a treatment plan for our sinfulness (including cowardice).

If you are in God's treatment plan ... your prognosis is for a full recovery ... and therefore, you are considered to be recovering from sin (not helplessly mired in sin).

You are allowing God to treat you for the disease of cowardice. That means that you are no longer a coward. You are recovering from being prone to cowardice with a prognosis of full recovery ...

"Cowardly", in that case, are those who reject Christ out of fear of persecution. Read the stories of the early martyrs and confessors. They will give you strength.

You identified yourself as a North Korean Christian on this public forum. That itself takes courage in light of what Christians suffer in North Korea.

The only path to Hell is to reject God's Holy Spirit to the point of calling it Satan.
Every other Sin is forgiven, if you request forgiveness.
If you stomp your feet on the path to Hell and refuse God,
then He will allow you to continue your march.

If you accept Jesus Christ as your God and your Savior, then you will not go to the hell, no matter how cowardly you are.

To that verse of Revelation, my interpretation is: There are cowardly, etc. in the hell. But not all cowardly are put in the hell. They are just not eligible to go to the Heaven.

And I’m guilty of telling white lies, so...

I’m guessing John is writing about those who don’t ask God to forgive them for their cowardice, dishonesty, immorality, et. al.

Dave G. · Aug 9, 2018

Jesus Christ is our righteousness, it is not in us. We are all sinners, every single one of us. We sin little even unknown sins every day, even after salvation. But in Christ we are saved, come to Him today, Your strength to overcome is in Him not in you..

Question: "What does the Bible say about cowardice or being a coward?"

Answer: At first glance, it would seem the Bible has very little to say about cowardice. Some translations do not even contain the word, while in others it is found only once in Revelation 21:8, in which the coward is condemned to hellfire along with murderers and sorcerers. Other translations use the word fearful in place of the word cowardly, but could it be that these words are synonymous? If so, what does that mean for us, who have all been fearful and one time or another? Are we “the cowardly” of which Revelation 21:8 speaks?

In the Greek, the word translated “cowardly” in Revelation 21:8 implies fearfulness and timidity. The dictionary also defines coward as someone who lacks the courage to do difficult, dangerous, or unpleasant things. A coward consciously shies away from unpleasant situations, doing whatever he can to save his own skin—enslaving himself to fear. Cowardice is sometimes linked to a guilty conscience: “The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion” (Proverbs 28:1). Scripture has much to say about being a slave to fear and contains stories of some godly people who gave in to fear.

Peter is a good example of someone who once showed cowardice or enslavement to fear. Peter’s three-fold denial of Jesus to save his own life revealed a fear that was still surrendered to men rather than to God (Luke 22:54–62). Later, during the time of the early church, Peter once decided to refrain from eating with the Gentiles out of fear for the “circumcision party”—the Judiazers (Galatians 2:11–13). His fear of being criticized by his Jewish brothers kept him from obeying God, who had commanded him to accept the Gentiles into the community of believers, freely eating and drinking with them (Acts 11:1–17). Despite Peter’s cowardice on occasion, Jesus loved him and continued to call him a disciple (Luke 22:31–32; John 21:15–22). With Jesus’ forgiveness and the gift of His sanctifying Spirit, Peter learned to live a life of great faith and boldness despite facing persecution (1 Peter 4:12–19; John 21:17–19).

Joshua was the man who led Israel in the conquest of Canaan; given the many battles he faced and won, no one would ever call him a coward. Yet Joshua must have struggled with fear, for the Lord tells him over and over to “be not afraid,” “be of good courage,” etc. (Joshua 1:9, 18; 8:1). It was an encouragement against cowardice that Joshua passed along to the Israelites (Joshua 10:25).

There are numerous places in Scripture where God tells His people to “be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified . . . for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you” (Deuteronomy 31:6). This is a command, not a suggestion. How could God expect us not to be afraid? It is because He promises to strengthen us and be with us. His power and presence are ours (2 Timothy 1:7; Psalm 37:27–28; Matthew 28:18–20). Perhaps at times we play the coward, enslaving ourselves to fear just because we do not take God’s Word seriously; we do not believe He is actually with us or will strengthen us. While it is natural to experience fear, we are commanded not to let fear control us; instead, we are to cry out to the God of peace, who has promised to be with us and will help us in time of need (Philippians 4:5b–9; Isaiah 51:12).

Jesus is our best example of facing fear without letting it control or keep Him from obeying God (Luke 22:42–44). If we are God’s children by faith in Christ, we do not have to fear the condemnation mentioned in Revelation 21:8 (see Romans 8:1). However, the statement that cowards will be consigned to the lake of fire reminds us that fearful living is not the mark of a disciple of Christ. We must come to God with our fears, asking Him to work His perfect peace within us (Philippians 4:6–7; Psalm 145:18). He wants us to ask, and He will not let us down (Matthew 7:7–10; Isaiah 41:10; 2 Timothy 4:17; Psalm 18:32–34).

I believe hell is the consequences of our sin. When we repent, we ascend out of hell.

yeshuaslavejeff · Aug 9, 2018

When did you, or do you think , you descended into hell ? (which I don't agree with, btw)

yeshuaslavejeff · Aug 9, 2018

Every 'single' one of us.....
So perhaps every married person is exempt ?

Remember an unbelieving spouse is sanctified by a believing spouse,
likewise their children are clean, if one parent (man and woman marriage) is a believer.

dreadnought · Aug 9, 2018

You descend into hell as soon as you sin.

yeshuaslavejeff · Aug 9, 2018

Not according to Scripture.

dreadnought · Aug 10, 2018

Try sinning and see what happens.

Will I go to hell?
