The Bible Truth Tangled

She was just sixteen when she sent me what just might be the most moving testimony
I’ve ever read.

Like many others have, Annette grew up in a Protestant faith that taught her if she
wasn’t saved, God would toss her into blazing hellfire to be tortured for eternity. To make
matters worse, she also learned that God had already predetermined whom He would save
and condemn. Even if she asked Jesus to save her, she could never be sure she was one of
“the elect.”

The paralyzing fear and pain Satan caused Annette with his twisted deceptions were so
profound, it gave her traumatic nightmares. Instead of trusting her salvation to Jesus, she
was driven to “buy” her way out of hell through good works. But such lies can never bring
lasting peace. Her depression was so acute, she even considered suicide.

Is it any wonder that Annette was losing whatever trust she had in the only one who
could save her? How could she ever love a god who threatened to torture her and her loved
ones in burning brimstone forever and ever?

Truth Penetrates the Devil’s Dominion

Seeking for any kind of peace, Annette sat down one day and apprehensively searched
the web for information about hellfire. It was a shot in the dark, right? So much of the
Internet is made up of misleading ads, pornography, and spiritual deceptions that finding
eternal truth is like looking for the proverbial “needle in a haystack.”

But what do you think happened next?
As Annette said a prayer and clicked her mouse
button, God led her straight to my sermon
about the lake of fire. As she listened with
Bible in hand, she was astonished. She felt the
chronic burden of fear lift from her heart! She
realized for the first time that God is a loving
Father that she could love back.

The truth she heard transformed her picture
of the Creator—and it changed her entire life!
She was so excited, she sat down and wrote me
a beautiful, eloquent letter to say “thank you”
for helping free her from Satan’s prison of constant fear.

Well, friend, her thanks truly belongs to you—because God used you to share the plain
truth about hell through Amazing Facts websites.
Truth Sets All of Us Free

Imagine it! Through all the ugly darkness on the Internet, a ten-second web search
for the “truth about hell” resulted in a soul saved for eternity. But without you making
Amazing Facts available online, Annette could have easily been led to some misguided
website that would have reinforced Satan’s picture of a sadistic god.
