This verse is part of the well-known chapter 11 of the Epistle to the Hebrews. It is preceded by the following five verses: “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead. By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.” (Heb 11:1-5)

"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him."

Hell is real

We need to talk about hell. It is hard to talk about this truth separately though. However, if we highlight the beauty of the Saviour as a contrast against this dark background, this is truly evangelization. Yes, hell is a real threat looming over everyone. But there is Jesus who came to save us from hell. Therefore, the fear of hell should be a strong impetus for us to sincerely repent and be saved.

Those who rejected Christ and salvation are in hell

Those who rejected Jesus will face Him as a Judge at the hour of death. In a single gaze they will see that He is not their friend, that He is not their Saviour, because they rejected Him again and again, stifled their conscience, believed in lies, systematically resisted the truth, Christ and good, all connected with salvation and the Gospel that was distorted by them. 

The greatest suffering in hell is the separation of the soul from God

The truth about hell is indeed very serious and is linked with our salvation. If we take seriously the eternity of hell, we are also aware of the seriousness of the entire teaching of Christ about salvation based on this fact – Christ came into the world, God became man to deliver us from the bondage of the devil, to deliver us from hell and to give us a new life – eternal life.

Reflection on Heb 9:27

The next verse 28 reads: “So also Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him.” The proverb says: A wise person thinks about the end, that is, death. But it is not enough to think about death, we must also think about eternity, which can be either happy or unhappy. The condition for a happy eternity is to keep our faith in Jesus Christ, because the Scripture says: Whoever believes in Him will be saved.

Ve vnitřní modlitbě je potřebné si uvědomit základní pravdy, které se člověka osobně týkají, především je to smrt, Boží soud, věčnost. Křesťanské rozjímání bylo odedávna zaměřeno na dvě oblasti. První oblastí jsou poslední věci člověka a druhou Kristovo utrpení a Jeho smrt. K těmto duchovním pramenům se vracíme i nyní.

Every sincere bishop, priest and believer perceives that the contemporary Church needs a spiritual revival. This must begin with each individual, and especially with the basic cell of the Church, which is the family, that is, father, mother and children. For everyone, it begins with prayer, that is, building a personal relationship with God. But the conditions for this must be created, because in the daily pace of life one is unable to find time for deeper prayer. On the other hand, however, young people and children spend several hours a day on smartphones, which have swept the world in recent years. Thus, they waste their time not only in vanities, but directly in instructions on moral depravity, crime and satanism.
