Among the hot topics Bartlett sought to discuss was Hell.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody is going to Hell,\u201d Huff declared. \u201cThe Bible is very clear. All good people go to Heaven. But Jesus said, \u2018No one is good but God alone.\u2019 So if all good people go to Heaven and no one is good but God alone, only God is in Heaven.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHeaven isn\u2019t full of good people,\u201d Huff clarified. \u201cHeaven is full of people who understand they are not good enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Huff outlined how \u201cbecause justice is fulfilled, now, mercy, which is not getting what we do deserve, is able to be given to those who put their trust in Jesus.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When Bartlett asked if he could still go to Heaven if he didn&#8217;t believe in Jesus and the Bible but lived a \u201cgood life,\u201d Huff responded, \u201cIf you\u2019re living your life rejecting God, God is not going to force you into His presence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not going to go to Heaven, then?\u201d Bartlet asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo,\u201d Huff replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When Bartlett inquired where he was going, if not to Heaven, Huff replied, \u201cYou would go to Hell.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I don\u2019t believe in the Bible and Jesus and God, then I\u2019m going to go to Hell?\u201d Bartlett asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes,\u201d Huff reiterated, clarifying that \u201cHeaven is a place for those who have submitted their lives to Jesus, who are living the identity of what they\u2019re created to be and who said, \u2018Your will be done, God.\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHell is a place where God says, \u2018You rejected me, your will be done,\u2019\u201d Huff explained. \u201cI\u2019m (God) going to give you what you want in that I\u2019m going to remove my grace and mercy from you, and you are going to experience truly what you desire in being separated from Me and My goodness and My grace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Huff continued: \u201cI desire you to have a personal relationship with your Creator because I don\u2019t want you to experience whatever Hell is. I desire for you to be in perfect relationship with your God, not necessarily because I want you to get a get out of Hell free card but because I actually think that in living how God created you to be, in accepting living out the image that you bear, you\u2019re going to find that meaning and purpose that you ultimately expressed that you have this innate desire for.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When Bartlett asked if he just needed \u201cto say &#8216;I believe in God&#8217; or do I have to have some sort of active commitment and evidence in my life that I am living my life in line with God\u2019s \u2026 teachings,\u201d Huff replied, \u201cIt\u2019s not just about saying the right words, it\u2019s not just \u2026 an incantation. You\u2019re not saved by [your] works, it\u2019s just Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInsofar as Christ on the cross fulfills the justice of His holy law, mercy is enacted, and you don\u2019t get that punishment by putting your faith and trust in Jesus as your Lord and your Savior,\u201d he added. \u201cYou don\u2019t get that punishment and now, you get grace, which is not what you\u2019re owed, but you are adopted as a child of the most high.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When Bartlett cited statistics about belief in God and predicted that \u201cthere\u2019s going to be a\u00a0very small number of people\u00a0who actually live in such a way that are fully repented and have accepted the Lord as their Savior\u201d and that \u201ca very small percentage of people are actually qualifying for the Kingdom of Heaven as it\u2019s designed in the Bible,\u201d Huff assured him that \u201cthe miracle of this is that your salvation is received, not achieved.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in their conversation, Bartlett said he found the evidence for the death and resurrection of Jesus \u201cpersuasive&#8221;.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 <em>The Christian Post<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0(Photo: YouTube\/StevenBartlett) Apologist Wes Huff told entrepreneur Steven Bartlett that he would be going to Hell if he didn&#8217;t accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour.
