I don't think it is wrong to be brutally honest with someone when speaking of heaven vs. hell. I think half the problem with non believers is they were never told the facts as stated directly from the bible. Heaven and hell are spoken of often and our goal is to save others so that they are not condemned to a life in hell. Hell is described as a lake of fire where people are forever tormented in darkness Matthew 25:30 with life regrets, sadness from separation, tortured because they now know the truth...there is no peace and no rest for the wicked. Isaiah 48:22 And the simple facts are that hell is where anyone will dwell eternally if they do not confess the Lord as their Savior and take Him as their living God. Sin separates man from God and all sin is measured the same in God's eyes. Did you know that if you lust with your mind then you committed adultery in your heart? Did you know that if you have anger towards your brother that you committed murder in your heart? God is just as interested in our thought life as our actions and this is missed amongst many. Did you know that when we sin in our hearts or minds even though no one may ever know, God knows because He knows and sees all and those very thoughts will convict us of sin. If you have ever shared the gospel but failed to show the severity of the sin then you may have missed an opportunity to lead someone to Jesus. We all fall short of the Glory of God and what this means is God is holy, which means He is sinless. He is right in judging us because of our sin therefore we cannot earn right standing with Him. So what do we do? We repent towards God for our sins and we put our Faith in Jesus for our salvation.
Romans 6:23
Acts 20:21
