Christian quotations by Don Bosco: Hell

“I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. “You shall have no other gods before me. “You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me, and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. “You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain, for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. You shall labor six days, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy. “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you. “You shall not murder. “You shall not commit adultery. “You shall not steal. “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”

	Christian quotations by Don Bosco: Hell

John Bosco photo Christian quotations by Don Bosco "If God should call upon you to leave the world, obey Him without delay. Whatever you do to avoid an eternity of suffering is well worth the trouble. As St. Bernard says, 'One can never be overcautious when eternity is at stake.' How many have forsaken the world in the full flower of youth, leaving country and family, to shut themselves up in caves and deserts, living only on bread and water, or sometimes only herbs? All this to avoid the fire of hell. What about you?"

"What do the pleasures of this world amount to? What is not eternal is worth nothing. Those who allow their passions to rule them, overtaken by death and buried in the eternal flames of hell will shriek in tears: 'Fools that we were and how dreadfully wrong!'"

"Remember that at the hour of death we shall reap what we have sown in life. If we have done good works, we will be happy. Death will be a blessing because it will usher us into Paradise. Otherwise, woe to us! Remorse of conscience and the open jaws of hell will await us. 'What a man sows, that he will also reap.' (Galatians 6:8)"

"God is a good Father and is deeply grieved when He has to condemn anyone to hell. We were doomed, and Jesus died to save us. Do we, then, still want to offend Him?"
