Five Senses in Hell

When we first make a decision to follow Christ, we are choosing Life over death. We make a career move and put His Will first in our lives. It is out of our realization that we are not good enough, nor will we ever be good enough, to enter heaven without Him.
(It is a shocking thing to realize that. Every argument is offered and rejected by The Truth of God's Word. Our hearts are convicted, yet we try to justify our sinful nature. "Everybody's doing it" is an excuse often proffered by a willful nature. "What's the harm in trying it", whatever it is, is another.)
And we do want to enter heaven. Why? Hell is not the party you think it is. Nor is death the ultimate destination of life. All five senses (sight, hearing, taste, touch, smell), memory and speaking,  are with a person after they die.

Luke 16:23
And in hell he lifted up his eyes (sight), being in torments (touch/smell), and seeing Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Luke 16:24
And he cried and said (speaking), Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip his finger in water, and cool my tongue (taste), for I am tormented in this flame (touch).
Luke 16:25
But Abraham said (hearing), Son, remember (memory) that thou in thy lifetime received thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
Luke 16:26
And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from here to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from there.

Hell was not created for us. Hell was created for the devil and that one-third of the angels who chose to follow him. But for those who choose to listen to, and obey, this liar, hell's mouth is enlarged (Isaiah 5:14) for the many who choose that as their destination.
For to rebel against God is to disobey Him, refuse to hear and follow His Word; nor walk in His Will, His Way. So while you may believe in God and that He exists, it is not enough to get you into His eternal presence. You, and I, need The Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior and Redeemer.
We need to acknowledge our sinful ways and repent (turn our back on) them to God, who will forgive the sin we have confessed to Him and instantly forget it. But even there we need The Holy Spirit of God to help us. For not only does The Spirit of God call us to salvation through God's Son Jesus, but this Spirit also guides us daily in God's Way, God's Will and God's Love.
Don't justify yourself to me: reason with God (Isaiah 1:18)-20 and talk with Him. You don't need someone here to confess your sins to: the sin-forgiving and salvation receiving business are His alone.

I can pray for you to receive salvation, but in order for you to receive it into yourself, you must ask for it.

You must pray to God and it needn't be flowery or eloquent, but it must be sincere, for God can see your heart and knows your thoughts. If your heart is false, your prayer will not be heard. Being right with God is being right according to the standards He has set up, not what we think is alright for our lives.
