Your Get Out Of Hell Free Card

When I think of C.S. Lewis the first thing that comes to mind is his novel, The Great Divorce. In that novel one of his characters, the Teacher, has the following to say which I formatted below as a poem:

There are only two kinds of people in the end:
those who say to God:
‘Thy will be done,’
and those to whom God says, in the end,
‘Thy will be done.’
All that are in Hell, choose it.
Without that self-choice there could be no Hell.1

So, assuming you do not want to be in hell, how do you get out of whatever hell you might be in? By hell I mean addiction, sin, or even illness. The Holy Spirit provides the way.

I am grateful to Diane Marshall for linking to this video.

  1. Absolutely right about people making a choice. There are some that dont believe. there are some that want to be with their doomed friends and finally there are those proud people who wont give themselves to the Lord. I myself have no problem with pride and I want to spend eternity with God and nice folks!
