Believe it or not…hell is real.

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God (John 3:16-18 NASB)."

I believe in the 'reality' of a literal heaven and hell. I once heard that Jesus spoke more about hell than He did heaven. Why would He place so much emphasis on hell?

He alerts us to the dangers of rebellion and unbelief. God doesn’t want anyone to end up in hell. God is love; God is merciful. God is just.

He has warned us; hell is a terrible place.

Hell is a place of fire. (Mark 9:48/Matthew 5:22)

Hell is a place of darkness. (Matthew 22:13)

Hell is a place of torment. (Luke 16:19-31)

Death in unbelief is a place of separation from God's grace. (Matthew 7:21-23)

Hell is the final destination for those who don’t believe.
