9 GRAVE DANGERS THAT CAN LEAD A SOUL TO HELL

(A Dispensational Warning for the Age of Grace)

“Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.” — Mark 9:44

INTRODUCTION (A SOBERING REALITY)

Hell is real, eternal, and avoidable—yet many are walking toward it religiously, sincerely, and confidently, while trusting the wrong things.
In this Dispensation of Grace, souls are not lost because Christ did not die—but because they refuse to believe the gospel that saves (1 Corinthians 15:1–4).
Today, we will examine 9 GRAVE DANGERS that can lead a soul to hell if not corrected by the truth of Paul’s gospel. This is not fear-mongering—it is truth-warning.

DISBELIEF IN THE GOSPEL
1 Corinthians 15:1–4; John 3:18

A. Rejected Message – Christ’s death and resurrection refused
B. Resisted Mercy – Grace offered but denied
C. Resulting Condemnation – Condemned already by unbelief
Hell is not for sinners only—it is for unbelieving sinners.

DEPENDENCE ON WORKS
Ephesians 2:8–9; Romans 4:5

A. Moral Confidence – Trusting good behavior
B. Merit Confusion – Mixing grace with effort
C. Meritless Salvation – Works cancel grace
You don’t work to be saved—you work because you are saved.

DECEPTION BY FALSE RELIGION
2 Corinthians 11:13–15; Matthew 7:22–23

A. Religious Appearance – Looks godly
B. Ritual Emphasis – Sacraments over Savior
C. Rejected Relationship – Christ never known
Religion can polish the outside while damning the soul.

DENIAL OF BLOOD ATONEMENT
Hebrews 9:22; Ephesians 1:7

A. Blood Removed – Preaching without the cross
B. Substitution Rejected – Christ minimized
C. Redemption Lost – No forgiveness without blood
Satan hates the blood—because the blood saves.

DELAYING SALVATION
2 Corinthians 6:2; Proverbs 27:1

A. Procrastinated Faith – “Later” mentality
B. Presumed Tomorrow – Life assumed
C. Permanent Regret – Death interrupts delay
Tomorrow is not promised—salvation is offered today.

DISTORTING DISPENSATIONS
2 Timothy 2:15; Romans 11:6

A. Law Confusion – Mixing Israel’s program with the Church
B. Message Corruption – Wrong gospel applied
C. Means of Salvation Altered – Grace replaced with performance
Not all Scripture is written to you, but all is written for you.

DESPISING GRACE
Galatians 2:21; Romans 6:14

A. Grace Mocked – “Too easy” mindset
B. Pride Maintained – Self-righteous resistance
C. Gift Rejected – Free salvation refused
Grace rejected is judgment accepted.

DECEPTION OF SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS
Romans 10:3; Luke 18:9–14

A. Self-Comparison – “I’m better than others”
B. Self-Confidence – Trusting personal goodness
C. Self-Condemnation – Refusing Christ’s righteousness
The best human righteousness still falls short.

DENIAL OF ETERNAL CONSEQUENCES
Revelation 20:15; Matthew 25:46

A. Hell Denied – Eternal punishment dismissed
B. Judgment Downplayed – Sin minimized
C. Destiny Sealed – Eternal separation finalized
Hell is not symbolic—it is forever.

CONCLUSION (A FINAL DIVIDE)

Every soul will spend eternity somewhere.
The difference is not sincerity, religion, works, or feelings—it is faith in Christ alone.
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” — Acts 16:31

CALL TO ACTION

Believe the gospel today (1 Cor. 15:1–4)
Reject works-based salvation
Rest in Christ alone
Warn others lovingly and boldly
Don’t just avoid hell—receive eternal life.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Hell is real
Christ is sufficient
The blood saves
Grace is free
Time is short
Truth must be rightly divided
Religion can deceive
Faith alone saves
Eternity matters
