Luke 16:27-28

I. The Scriptures distinctly reveal future punishment.

II. In a future state punishment will completely arouse memory. "Son, remember."

III. The punishment of hell will be regulated by the previous conduct and character of the punished. Hell is a grave in which God places what is not fit to be elsewhere, and from which is absent all but the process of corruption and the workings of destruction.
