Date: March 1, 2026

AI-Generated Summary: We examine the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus to understand the reality of hell and how we can avoid it. We see that the rich man’s downfall was not his wealth itself, but his total absorption in earthly life while ignoring God and the needs of others. We recognize that life continues after death in one of two places, and that hell is a real, permanent state of torment. We believe the Bible alone is sufficient to guide us toward salvation. We must repent, align our lives with God’s word, and live with eternity in mind.
