For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life ( John 3:16 ).

Many of us I’m sure, have seen roadblocks. Roadblocks are used for our safety and welfare. They keep us from harm and danger.

It would take a sure fool to run past a roadblock and die in a crash of flames, yet people are doing this very thing every day.

Let us look at the hard facts presented to us in the Bible. In the heart of the earth, there is a place called Hell. This fact has been confirmed many times in the Bible.
Hell is a place of fire and torment. It was originally designed for Satan and his fallen angels. However, since man insists on living in sin, he also will go to this dreadful place.

As a matter of record, the whole human race was destined for Hell, because of the sin of Adam and Eve

God knew that his loving creation was doomed to Hell as a result of sin. He so loved His creation He created, He took the necessary steps to redeem them back to Him. It wasn’t going to be an easy task, but it could be done.

Sin entered the bloodline of humanity, as a result of the fall of Adam and Eve. Since the life of all flesh is in the blood, that meant all human blood was contaminated.

The only way possible to bring man back to God, was that someone had to be born without the Adamic sin passed on to man in the bloodline.

There was not a man on earth who could make this happen.

With God all things are possible. Since God is pure and Holy, and free from sin, He had a plan in mind. His master plan of redemption was simple. Since He created all things by His Word, He would use His Word to make it happen.

God moved by His Spirit, and spoke in the womb of a virgin girl, named Mary. Mary would conceive, and bring forth a child whose blood was not contaminated by the Adamic sin.

It would; therefore, be the purpose of this child to die, and shed its blood as a covering for the sins of humanity. The blood of this child would be of the Spirit of God; therefore, it would be pure and Holy. It would contain the life of God.

The whole purpose and mission for Christ, was to die on the cross, as the Lamb of God, for the salvation of the human race. Christ was not born to live a life of longevity. He was born to die. He was born to give life to the human race.

At the age of 33½ years old, Jesus began His weary steps to Calvary. His body was bruised and bleeding. The Roman soldiers nailed Him to the cross by driving nails into His hands.

Jesus hung on the cross for six hours, one hour for every thousand years given to man. Man’s time on earth is 6,000 years.

Let us take a closer look at Calvary.

The crown of thorns was placed on the head of Christ with force by the Roman soldiers. Thorns about three inches long jabbed into His scalp, as trickles of blood flowed out, and ran down the sides of His face.
Blood began to stream from the wounds in His hands, and run down His arms and sides. Blood streamed down His back that was laid open by the Roman whip. Jesus was naked and covered in blood. The cross was covered in blood. The ground was covered in blood.

Jesus finally hung His head and died. A Roman soldier took a spear and rammed it into the side of Jesus, out came blood and water.

It was a messy scene.

It was a grisly scene.

It was a ghastly scene.

Blood, blood everywhere.

Was this grisly scene necessary?

Yes, it was necessary. This was the blood from God. This was the life of God, being poured out for the sins of humanity.

The whole purpose of this event, was to keep men and women out of Hell.

What a sacrifice!

What a tremendous cost!

This is God’s roadblock to Hell!

When a sinner accepts what Jesus did on Calvary, and repents of their sins, they can escape the damnation of Hell.

When a sinner is born again of the water and Spirit, they become a different person. Their sins will be covered by the blood of Jesus Christ.

It is that simple.

The high cost has already been paid.

It was paid for by the blood of Christ.

Now the whole world could go free.

We have many people today, who reject the cross of Christ.

We have many people today, who reject the sacrifice of Christ.

We have many people today, who reject the blood of Christ.

They disregard the roadblock to Hell.

They go beyond the roadblock, and crash into a fiery Hell.

They disregard the warning signs.

They disregard their own safety.

Their life is out of control, and they skid on into eternity without God.
They wake up in Hell.

Fire is rolling over them.

The fiery worms of Hell are eating at them.

What a pitiful sight.

Some are screaming.

Some are crying.

Some are moaning.

Some are nashing their teeth.

Some are praying.

Do you mean people will pray in Hell? Yes! The rich man prayed in Hell. His prayers were not answered. People pray in Hell to no avail.

Their prayers came too late.

They crashed through the roadblock, and landed in Hell.

People will start praying the first five seconds in Hell.

The atheist will pray in Hell.

The sinner will pray in Hell.

The backslider will pray in Hell.

The adulterer will pray in Hell.

The fornicator will pray in Hell.

The sex offender will pray in Hell.

The drug addict will pray in Hell.

The murderer will pray in Hell.

The sorcerer will pray in Hell

The liar will pray in Hell.

The extortioner will pray in Hell

The thief will pray in Hell.

The reviler will pray in Hell.

The effeminate will pray in Hell.

The roadblock to Hell is the cross of Christ. What more could God do, to keep sinners from Hell? He gave His only begotten Son, as the roadblock to Hell.

The blood of Jesus can keep you out of Hell.

The love of Jesus can keep you out of Hell.

The grace of Jesus can keep you out of Hell.

The mercy of Jesus can keep you out of Hell.

Don’t go beyond the roadblock!

Stop right here!

Don’t go beyond the cross of Calvary!

Many people today, have stopped at the roadblock to Hell. They have stopped at Calvary. They have stopped at the cross of Jesus. They have turned around, and went the other way.

They are now traveling the avenue to Heaven.

God can turn your life around today, sinner.

God can turn your life around today, backslider.

Please don’t neglect the roadblock to Hell.

 The world has come a long ways in a short time. They refuse to believe in anything evil yet our world grows more evil every day.Unfortunately your decision to believe in hell does not lower the temp. of hell one degree, brighten the darkness in the least nor calm the calamity of those that are there.a wise saying one time that there are no atheist in fox wholes. your idea of the realness of hell as you set in comfort in peace will not be the same as your vision of hell on your deathbed.

There are no atheist in foxholes because there is something inside of you that knows the truth of eternity but it can not really surface to the top of your life until life is no more the smothering cares of life mean nothing any more and let me assure you your trials your troubles and your fears will be trivial when you take your last breath.

It happened in a moment to the Rich man his future was forever written in eternity it didn’t matter who he was what his titles were or who he knew he had fallen into a pit of forgotten to spend eternity in the eternity that he refused to believe was there.

People will be weeping: because they remember they forsook every chance to repent and they can still remember walking down to the alter and just a they almost reached it they stopped and went back to their pew.

You think life is about impressing someone, or trying to live up to the world, you think your spouse or your lover is worth missing heaven over,

I believe there will be husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, pastors and saints, friends and enemies that once were on this earth will be in Hell they will be just like animals biteing and gnaw at one another.

25"But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.

26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.'

You see there was no 2nd chance no going back he said if they will not hear my preacher they will not hear the dead. I am warning you hear me now because this is the only testament there is.

He said besides that there is a Gulf fixed between us and you. Do you know who put that Gulf there?

You and me in our sin. Each time you pushed God away each time you reject him and choose sinyou build to yourselves a wall a barrier between you and God

When you ask him to forgive you of your sins he can break that barrier but if you were to slip off into eternity today with a barrier still in place than it will be to late for even God to help you.
