How can a loving God allow hell to exist? It’s fair to question the ugly twins of evil and hell Answers rarely solve personal pain We’re ALL betting our lives on something Betting our lives demands evidence, not just emotions What makes genuine love real? -Freedom of choice -Dignity of decision -Justice of protection Would genuine love? -Force affinity & affection -Rob dignity & choice -Ignore evil & harm Genuine love means evil and hell are a possibility. ● EVIL is not God’s plan for us ● HELL was not made for us ● SALVATION is freely offered to all of us “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” Jesus of Nazareth John 10:10 ● EVIL is not God’s plan for us ● HELL was not made for us ● SALVATION is freely offered to us “…away to the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels!” Matthew 25:41 ● EVIL is not God’s plan for us ● HELL was not made for us ● SALVATION is freely offered to all of us For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 Evil and hell reveal we failed God’s love for us… Jesus is God’s unfailing love that can save anyone “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Revelation 21:4
