The most important thing to remember about Hell is that God does not choose Hell for us; we do! God loves us and because He loves us so He gave us the choice: Heaven or Hell.
As with making any important choice; it is important to truly understand the choices that are available! Hell is a horrific place, a place you wouldn’t wish for your worst enemy! And it is also an eternal one. Meaning it lasts forever. It’s hard to imagine anything lasting forever, but it does. What is Hell like:
“Shame and everlasting contempt” – Daniel 12:2
“Everlasting punishment” – Matthew 25:46
“Weeping and gnashing of teeth” = Matthew 24:51
“Fire unquenchable” – Luke 3:17
“Indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish” – Romans 2:8-9
“ They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from[a] the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might,” 2 Thessalonians 1:9
“Eternal fire…the blackness of darkness forever” – Jude 7:13
These verses were compiled by Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort
How horrific Hell is! We wouldn’t want anyone to go there! But although God’s Mercy and Love are unconditional, Justice is also required. And so we must do all what we can to help each other make the right choice! And that means introducing people to Jesus. That really is all we can do. Whether they choose Christ will be up to them.
