What bible verse states that if you dont worship jesus youll go to hell?

Answer 1

While there is no scripture throughout the entire Bible that says: "go to hell"... it does point to a time [at the Last Day; Judgment Day] when everyone who has ever lived and died, will have to come to a personal decision as to whether or not he will "bow before his Creator, Jesus Christ!"

"All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made." [John 1:3].

"But those Mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and SLAY THEM BEFORE ME." (Luke 19:27)

The Bible is DEAD SERIOUS about that little fact of life.

But, since the word, "hell," has such a confusion of different concepts and meanings among men... it becomes necessary to define "which hell" about which you inquire when the subject of "hell" comes up in conversation.

Jesus speaks of a certain "Gehenna fire," that the KJV Bible translates; "hell fire" -- or "Lake of Fire" into which the wicked shall be cast in the time of the Judgment. [i.e. see Matt.5:22-]

"...and the dead were Judged out of those things which were written in the books [of the Bible], according to their works... And whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the Lake of Fire [Gehenna fire; hell fire]." (Rev.20:12-15 NIV)

These scriptures are speaking, however, of the time when Jesus will be standing on the earth again... when He reigns over the nations as "KING!"

"And the Lord shall be King over all the earth: in that Day shall there be One Lord, and His name One." (Zech.14:9)

Anyone who refuses to bow before Him with Him standing right there in front of them shall truly be evil and incorrigibly wicked... and deserve the Lake of Fire [deserve to "go to hell"].

"...with Righteousness shall He judge the needy, with Justice He will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the Rod of His mouth; with the breath of His lips HE WILL SLAY THE WICKED." (Isa.11:4 NIV)

This isn't the "Jesus" most people hear about from most of the hundreds of preaching, professing Christian denominations in this world. But, according to the Bible... this is the King who is coming back to earth when the time comes.

Jesus warns us to beware that there are "many Jesus Christs" in this world:

"...Watch out that no man deceives you. For many will come in My name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many." (Matt.24:4-5 NIV)

This "claim" has a dual meaning: One, is that there will be individuals claiming to be Christ. And, Two, is that whole organizations [denominations] will come professing that "Jesus is the Christ."

The first one is usually more obvious than the second one. There aren't that many people who fall for the guy who claims to be Christ [although such a person will always have a few followers].

But the second one is more subtle... and can deceive many more people more convincingly. And with literally hundreds of professing Christian denominations in the world who admit that "Jesus is the Christ"... they are a little bit more tricky to be judged false.

So... while the Bible does indeed tell us that everyone who hopes to receive the gift of Eternal Life must worship Jesus Christ [or be cast into the Lake of Fire; "go to hell"] -- Jesus Christ tells us that, in the interim, we need to be careful regarding WHICH JESUS we chose to worship, until He gets here in Person.
