Some central texts in Scripture emphasize this point. Here are a couple key passages emphasizing God’s love, one from the Old Testament and the other from the New Testament: “[God] passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, ‘The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.’” (Exodus 34:6-7, NIV) “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, NIV) The message of God’s mercy, grace, and loving kindness has been clearly taught in most churches and is emphasized by church leaders, writers, and podcasters. And yet, there is also clear teaching in Scripture that not everyone will turn from their sin and receive the grace of Jesus.[1] The destination of the unrepentant will be eternal separation from God. There are many aspects to the teaching of God’s Word on hell, but for our purposes, we will focus on five. We must understand God’s holiness to understand hell. Hell is the destination of those whose sin is not removed by Jesus’ sacrificial atonement. Hell will be worse than anything that can be experienced in this life. There will be different degrees of punishment in hell. Hell will be a final, irreversible punishment. Listen for more...
