What reality do people find beyond the grave? Do they really “rest in peace?” The Bible teaches that to be “saved” means being rescued from the lake of fire, a real place of conscious torment and separation from God, where the lost remain forever under God’s righteous wrath for their sins. Yet God, in love, provided a Substitute, so that anyone who believes that Christ died for their sins and rose again is fully forgiven and delivered from this fate. Because the lake of fire is real and eternal, believers are urged to share the gospel, so that others may be saved before it is too late.
