The Rich Man still retained his same mentality of deserving entitlement even in Hades. We see in him the truth that even in hell the wicked will never repent.
We continue looking at the story of the Rich Man and Lazarus and specifically consider the truth that there is indeed a hades/hell awaiting the unregenerate into which they enter the moment they pass out of this life.
The wicked go through this present life willfully blind to the reality of judgment and hell. But in hell their eyes will be opened to its truth - all too late.
We begin this series by looking once again at the Lord Jesus' account of the rich man and Lazarus.

When we are born again, we really become sons of God. He adopts us into His family because He really is our Father now. There is a great change from the Old Covenant to the New. One concerns a bondage leading to fear, the other to the love of our Father.
