"MOST"..........the majority of mankind will go to hell because: They choose to live in sin without repentance while refusing to accept the conditions of God's grace that was made possible because Jesus (God incarnate) Himself became sin and took our sins upon Himself.
The conditions of Grace are simple. Live in Truth. Truthfully repent, Truthfully attempt to live a sin free life, Truthfully attempt to run this race called life in a righteous manner as defined by God's laws of morality. The wages of sin (all sin) is death......the wages of truth is "freedom".......freedom from sin, freedom from guilt, freedom from the love of money, most importantly freedom to love.
Where is truth found? In the Word of God. One becomes sanctififed in truth by believing and acting on those words of truth.
The "Gospel" is the good news........Jesus described His mission statement in coming to earth was to deliver the "Gospel Truth"
We all live by God's Grace......we control nothing, we have our existence "within God" (Acts 17) The word Grace simply means "Favor". We live and breathe and move .........we have our very being by the Grace of God. God provides the air.......its up to man to breath the air. God provides our food, its up to man to eat the food. God provides the water, its up to man to drink the water. God provides Grace........its up to man to accept this grace. Just like Food, Water, and Air are provided by God and we act upon that grace in order to live..........man must look/seek in the correct places in order to partake of God's grace. You don't look for air at the bottom of a lake..........you don't look for food in a place that is barren of all life........and you don't look for water in a barren desert. It takes faith to know where each of these items of grace exist......and you act (work) upon that faith to access your life's substance where you believe they exist....by following the advise from God.
You must first believe......to begin the journey that ends in salavtion. All it takes is coming to the knowledge of the truth by having faith in God's word/truth. God would have everyone saved by coming to the knowledge of this truth (2 Peter 3:9, 1 Tim. 2:4)
God provides the Grace to save man's spirit just as He provides the Grace to sustain man's physical life. The difference. The flesh will decay...........its created with an experiation date, man's spirit is eternal and its up to you to seek out the spiritual items of God's grace to man's spirit. "God so loved the world......" God provided the means, its up to man to seek and find the method, acceptance of the fact that man can do nothing that is worthy of such grace.......coming to the knowledge that Jesus (who was sin free) became Sin in order to stand between the Father and our Sin. (2 Cor. 5:21)
If you refuse to accept this Gospel Truth, refuse to act upon this faith/belief............you are doomed to live and die in your sins. Just as God does not make man, eat, drink, and breathe the necessities of life.....God will not make man partake of the Spiritual meat, drink and air that He has provided by His Grace. You must "choose" to live.........decisions are free will judgments. God did not create robots. God created Spiritual Beings, now with the capacity to know good from evil (because man now knows and compreheneds the law of God)........all men are endowed with free will.
